Since my last post (7 months ago...oops) so many things have changed! I traveled back home and enjoyed getting to spend time with family and sharing with my friends about the most crazy 5 months of my life.
I spent March and the Summer in Jamaica,

serving and ministering with one of my favorite ministries. So many signs and miracles of the goodness of God. I was able to be apart of a football tournament outreach where many were shown the compassion of the father and many salvations took place that night at a reggae concert.I saw the importance of community and pouring into each other as one. I met people like Uncle Tony and Jodi that really impacted my life, I was so encouraged by the youth that were hungry to KNOW God and see him REAL in their lives.

These last few months I have been able to to see Jesus as my strength and my compass. I also found my self intentionally being authentic in ALL areas! He has been so faithful to guide & provide in uncertainty and I know he will continue too! 1 Peter 2:9!!

Currently I am sitting in a dorm next door to the one I was in last year at this time! I am in a School of Missions, Evangelism and Apologetics with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Tijuana, Mexico. I am taking this course to get more of an understanding of what pioneering ministry, long term mission work looks like and also more ways to show Christ to the world!! I am so excited. Very thankful for where I am right now and people I get to walk in this season with. After I leave Mexico I will be moving to Tulsa, OK (USA) and will attend RHEMA.

2 months ago I would have never thought I would be going to Rhema but after coming home in July the Lord began to speak that more training was ahead of me. I thought of different bible colleges with mission focuses but ultimately RHEMAs focus of teaching faith made the biggest to me for my future. I appreciate any/all calls, texts and prayers!
So proud of you! You are in our prayers constantly!!❤️
