I'm really excited about my crazy Itinerary. Definately not the most direct route home, haha, but it should open a lot of doors. I go from Brisbane to Cairns (in Northern Queensland), Cairns to Hong Kong (overnight), Hong Kong to Anchorage, Alaska, then Alaska home. Whats really awesome is that, since really understanding God and stepping deeper into God's heart globally (because God does think globally, even more than individually, individuals lead to HIS nation, Israel, we are a NEW nation) I have begun to realize that life is ministry, and thats what makes life exciting. Travelling could get boring, there isn't much you could do for the rest of your life and not get sick of it at some point. But when your life is making eternal difference everything take on a new excitement and life becomes a joy. So these opportunities to travel are also opportunities to show people Gods face and Gods love.
When I came to this country, I didn't really know God. Fresh out of rebellion and passionate, my heart was pointed toward God, but I didn't know anything, and I my motives were all wrong. I still believe I don't know much. But I know my Dad, my Lord, my King, and thats a start. Its really amazing coming back home with substance and being to be effective and a blessing to anyone I can on the way home and at home. I really thank God for His faithfulness, life is a journey and God gives us opportunities to take the right journey. He doesn't ask us to follow Him then shut all the doors and leave us unequiped to climb the mountains He's called us to.
Anyway, just reminising about where I've come from and where I am. Isn't salvation beautiful? What an amazing gift, there is no gift like it. Let us outwork our salvation, so its not just a word or a selfish object we squander. Lets show our salvation, because there is no other gift or blessing that even compares, and I don't want anyone I meet to miss an opportunity to meet their Father as well.
Blessings

Mama I'm coming home!
God is Good, All the Time. Well, I have being praying for a plane ticket, for revelation for my future, other support, etc... And this is what has been going on recently.
1) God has provided a plane ticket home and back through someone who has been an amazing example of love and selflessness to me. And now I am coming home in October for 5 weeks, I get to see you all, hear about what has been going on in all of your lives while sharing a little of what I have experienced.
2) I have been seeing VERY clearly into my future lately. I know definately whats coming in the next five years and have a rough view beyond that as well. Some really amazing things ahead. And God has given me some direct words, but Hes not a dictator, Hes a Father, so he has only guided me, not dictated. Therefore, around all of the definate words from God I have filled in the cracks in terms of my vision. I filled it in with things I believe are in Gods will. And if He changes them, then I will head down that path. But some of the words I have definately received from God involve India, learning the Nepali language and possibly (still praying about it) going to Shanghai, China, for the world expo in 2010. There is much opportunity to influence this rising giant (China) during this time, before they begin influencing us.
3)I have been given the opportunity to work for donations down here for 3 days, with a man who has a heart from missions but doesn't feel called, so he supports missionaries in various ways. He is enabling me to do the Lords work by giving me some manual labour work and then giving some generous donations. This is an amazing opportunity for me, God provides so practically sometimes that we miss Him.
4)Well, there is also the bonus that God threw in the mix with my friend from Saskatoon. Yes, Adam is going out with a girl in Saskatoon. And that was a blessing and gift from God. God is moving in this world, and I'm just happy that I'm flowing in His will and experiencing His character!
Anyway, when I get home in October I hope to share more of my vision with you all, and discuss what is going on in the world in terms of missions. But mainly, I'm just excited to see you all.
Blessings!
