I realize it has been a while since I last sent out an update. I want to start by telling everyone how much I appreciate you! For all the people who have prayed, given to my financially, encouraged me, and have been willing to be used by God to help get me where I am today, I am so thankful for you and I know that you will be blessed in return!
The last few weeks I have been off for Christmas break. I had a wonderful time of catching up on sleep, spending time with people, and being refreshed by God. In the last year so much has happened and changed. Last January I knew it was God’s will for me to come here to Wales to do the training, but I had no idea how it was going to happen. Of course God had it all planned out! He gave me a revelation of His peace. We can be at peace no matter what is going on in life. He has proved His faithfulness once again! He has provided for me in every way, He has taken care of my family, and He is changing me and shaping me into the woman He wants me to be.
This year God has challenged me to go deeper with Him in my prayer life. The verse for me this year is Colossians 4:2 which says, “Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving.” We have all heard and mostly likely used the word devote or devoted but I looked it up to see what the actual definition is. Devote--To give or apply(one’s time, attention, or self) entirely to a particular activity, pursuit, cause, or person. This gives a clear picture of exactly what that verse is saying. I must give my full attention and my time. I want to do that! Prayer is so vital to fulfilling what God has called you to do and to see things change!
So just as I have been challenged to step up in my prayer walk with God I am challenging you if you have not already ask God what area He would like you to work on this year!
I am glad to see January here! The last 4 months has just flown by and I am excited to see what God has in store for the upcoming 5 months. From now till May I will continue to be based in Llanelli, Wales. I wanted to share with everyone what my budget looks like for the next few months.
Per Month:
Rent- $235
Food- $185
Phone- $15
Misc- $50
I appreciate everyone’s continued prayers for:
1. The training
2. What God is doing in me and through me
3. For finances( I am still in need of people who can partner with me on a monthly basis)
4. For my family
5. For some upcoming decisions that I will be making concerning what I will be doing this summer and in the fall
I pray God’s blessings for everyone in this new year!! Please know that I love and appreciate each one of you!! God Bless!
Philippians 1:6 --Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
