Almost time

The time of departure has almost arrived. To journey out on the next part of the most brilliant adventure. Three weeks from tomorrow, I'll be on my way to England. Plans have changed though. I am returning as a staff person, BLS student, and I'm still going on outreach. But instead of going to Ghana in March or April, I'll be joining the September school in their outreach to Hong Kong, China, and the Philippines in December. I'm thrilled about it, although it is sad that I won't be staffing the January school (primarily because we're not having one). I was expecting to be in Carlisle and on outreach for almost a year, but plans have changed and always with good reason.
I know that God definitely has His hand over all that I'm doing and I'm eager to see what He's going to continue to do in my life and through the lives of the students on DTS.
God is so faithful in our desires of our hearts when we're following Him. Obedience to Him and His ways is of utmost importance if we are to grow in our relationship with Him.
God has been continuing to show me His faithfulness, even when I am faithless. He pours out His love, even though I'm unsure of my devotion. Oh that I would love Him more, adore Him more, be more obedient, more patient, more pure, more of who He is, and less of who I am. That He would be my first love, my one desire, my life.

Psalm 16:11
You will make known to me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.

To be filled with Your Joy, walking in Your Presence and enjoying your pleasures is my heart's desire. That You would make Your ways known to me.

May the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen (Hebrews 13:20-21
