After waiting for the next step for the last 5 months, it is a relief to know what I'll be doing next even if it is only 5 weeks. To sum it up, this last season was a time of restoration. I didn't realize how much I had poured out in the last two and a half years. I was running on empty and struggling to stay afloat and I hadn't realized until I came into a new environment with much less responsibility. Being at home while my friends were on the mission field was difficult to adjust to. Knowing that they were making a difference in the nations was hard to accept as I was relaxing at home. It felt like I was being benched from the team.
But the Lord had me where I needed to be. He started restoring my confidence and giving me new visions and dreams. During one of my visits to Harrisburg, I had a chance to spend some time with one of my leader's from Kona, Andy Byrd. Andy sat with me and started reminding me of basic principles that I learned during my time staffing. He also started recasting vision for my walk with the Lord. I returned home with my mind and spirit refreshed, more focused and with more of a purpose on my time at home.
From there, the Lord started revealing more of what my task was. Through the months I felt that the Lord was whispering bits and pieces of it, almost like giving me pieces of a puzzle to complete. I couldn't tell at first what it was but now I have a better idea than before. The pieces form a picture, a map for the direction I will be following Him in. A new journey filled with adventures with Yeshua but it's not new, my eyes have just been opened more to the things that He has prepared for me.
In less than two weeks I'll be back on the field. First, I'll be flying into London. I'll be attending a Torah Conference and meeting with Korean pastors in the local region. I don't have specific dates on where I'll be traveling to but the trip will take me to Scotland and also to Wales.
I updated my blog-site with a Prayer Partnership page. I'll be posting prayer requests or even topics related and unrelated to my direct travels.
