Change of plans!!!!

There has been a major change happening in my life right now. I had decided a long time ago NOT to do the TFNJ school which is at the other YWAM base here in Jamaica. I was planning on helping with some kids ministry here on the MoBay base but since lately I have changed my mind (with some nudging from leaders and God) and I am doing the TFNJ. It starts September 8th, so I will be moving to the other base in a couple of weeks (around the 30th of August).

Jermaine and I feel that this time apart will be the best thing for our relationship. We both need some time apart to hear from God and get back on track with the calling that He has put on each of our lives. He will be staying here on this base, I'm not sure exactly what types of ministry he will be working with. We will be able to still visit eachother on weekends and whenever there are breaks in school/ministry.

This has been a hard decision for me. The other base does not have nearly as many people on it, and alot of the staff on that base are not my age. That base is also 20 minutes away from the nearest city, and I don't know how to get to the city or how to get around once I'm there. So I will have alot of fun adventures coming up soon. That base is also alot quieter, so I know that I will have alot more time alone, so I'm just praying that I don't get too lonely and drive myself insane. The school is very small, I think that there are only about 6 or 7 students. There will be one other young girl from Canada doing the school, and the rest are Jamaican's. The food will probably be different at that base, well pretty much everything is going to be different at that base.

Please pray for me, I am trying not to get anxious or worried about going up there. I know that this is the next step that God wants me to take. I know that staying here would've been a great experience for me, helping with kids ministry, but God has shown me that doing this school is the best thing for me. Staying wouldn't have been the BEST!

In my life right now I want to be able to hear from God and do what he says without even hesitating. I know that God has the best in store for me, and he knows me better than anyone, so I just need to trust him with all my heart and not be anxious about anything.

I want to tell you about last night. I had a prayer time with some ladies who were here from Missouri doing a women's retreat this last weekend. I had been working alongside them to prepare for the retreat so I had gotten to know them quite well, but I hadn't told them much about my personal life. We just talked about surface level stuff. And last night one of the ladies was praying for me and God put it on her heart to tell me something specific. And what she said was exactly what was going on in my life right now. God works in amazing ways. It's incredible to fellowship with other believers and to have other Christians pray for you. God moves so much in times like that it's incredible.
