I meant to do a "first-post-now-that-I'm-back-in-Harrisburg" a lot sooner. But I think you guys will understand why I didn't once you read this...

So, I've made it back to Harrisburg! Very excited to see what will come. I know two years is a long time to be away, but I really feel like it's what God wanted. What have I been up to so far? Mostly cleaning! Haha. We (YWAM Harrisburg) just got a house right in the heart of Harrisburg. I could go into the prophetic history and all about how we got it, but that's a little much for a blog post, considering everything else I have to talk about. The address is 333 S 13th Street, and we call it the 333 House. It will be my home away from home while I am here. The house was rather nasty (mold, grime, and dust among other things) when we got it, but we have been working hard and have gotten it back in good condition. It is also housing the 21 students of our September DTS! Although I am on Leadership Track and not staffing the DTS itself, I have still gotten to meet the students by living with them this past week and helping make their food. I am so stirred for what God is going to do in their hearts these next five months! Which brings me to my next topic... I am heading up the kitchen staff for awhile! Rachel Borden, Charisah Cleath (who had her leg grow! Check out the video on my Facebook!) and I are taking care of stocking the kitchen, cooking the meals, and keeping the kitchen clean. Excited to work with these two amazing women of God! More updates to come soon, very soon. God Bless! <3

Here we go! :)

Hey everyone! This will be my last post before I head out again. I'll be leaving Saturday morning and driving out to Harrisburg. SO EXCITED!!! :D Trying to get around and say goodbye to everybody before I leave this week, and then I'm packing up. Trying to set up my account with YWAM so that everybody can support me that way, tax deductible and everything. If you are interested in supporting me, let me know! :) And so we go... God Bless! <3

Preperation time

As I told you in my last post, I'm getting ready to head back to Harrisburg to be on staff. Still finding it hard to believe that it's less than a month away! Got a call from Sarah Harmsworth (staff in Harrisburg already), she's got my application, and they are taking care of it on that end. Just got some things to get ready before I leave. The main thing is getting all of the money together. Staff fees are $350 a month. Please be praying that my finances all come through, as well as partnering with me. It's a Kingdom investment you won't regret, I promise. :) I'm in talks to buy a car so that I can have one while I'm out there, but I don't know if that will happen. I'm just trusting that if I'm meant to have one, God will provide! Other than leaving my job at McDonald's in a few weeks, I should be ready. I've got my plane ticket, got my love of Jesus, and I'm raring to go! God Bless! <3

What's next? Well, I'm working on it...

Wow, I hadn't realized how long it's been since I've posted. Anyway... I've finished my DTS. I'm currently sitting here in good ol' Frankfort, Indiana. It's been great being back! I've gotten a job at McDonalds to help for what's next. What is next for me? It's looking like I'll be heading back to Harrisburg on September 24th to be staff on the base for a couple years. Doing this would help prepare me to eventually come back and start a YWAM base here in Indiana! Very excited to see where I go in this next season. God Bless! <3

My life is a whirlwind...

The title says it all! This past week we went back to New Haven. The next day we took a side trip up to Boston for the day and met up with the other Ivy League team and had some time at Harvard. Both teams went together to New Haven that night. The next day after that, the leaders of both teams left, leaving me and the other students to do a Faith Journey for a week. We had such an amazing time doing not only ministry but finding time to have fun as well. This past Saturday we met up with our leaders in New Jersey, and spent a few days at Resting Place. Today, we packed up and have now come to Harrisburg for the night, and then tomorrow we leave for Virginia to help with Awaken the Dawn and theCall Virginia until this coming Saturday. Once we are done with theCall, we will come back to Harrisburg for debrief and graduation! So excited to get back to Indiana on the 31st!! God Bless! <3

Oh how things change. :)

Guess where I'm posting from? New Haven. Yep, I'm back where I started outreach, Connecticut! Where did I think I would be? Philadelphia. Which I was, for a day (got to have my first authentic Philly cheesesteak), and then we left early and went to Harrisburg for a couple of days. Now we are back at Yale for a week, and then New Jersey and then debrief/graduation. Very excited to come home on the 31st! God Bless! <3

Pennsylvania Bound (for now, anyway!)

I've had the most amazing time here in New York! Cornell is without a doubt my favorite Ivy League that I've visited. The community spirit here just blows me away! Unfortunately (or fortunate depending on how you look at it) I am currently preparing to leave this beautiful place for yet another. Tomorrow afternoon me and my team head out to Warren, Pennsylvania to stay at the house of Rachele, one of my outreach leaders. We will be there until Monday, at which time we will head out to Philidelphia! Our fourth and final Ivy League, UPenn, awaits us there. We will be there for a week, and then we will have a few days in New Jersey at Resting Place and maybe even some time in New York City. After all of that, we'll head to Harrisburg for debrief and then graduation. Definitely some bittersweet times ahead for me... God Bless! <3
