He is faithful to the end, that means He will see you through in the calling He has placed before you.

Crazy things have been going on the past few months. 


My Grandpa has been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. This threw me off quite a bit to say the least, it has probably been one of the most excruciating experiences of my life. I am so close with Pappaw, there is so much emotion wrapped up in it. I'm not even sure I could begin to convey to you the depth of my feelings. However, I know that God is greatly using this in my life and in others' lives as well. He used it in a round about way to quite firmly confirm His plans for me concerning this DTS. I was fighting with should I go to YWAM, should I not? He has used many people as well as situations in my life to point to the open door He has for me. One day I was quite plainly complaining to my mom and a family friend Becky on the way to work about not going to cool adventures like my siblings and how I might not even GO to this DTS in North Carolina because I had no money; in the midst of this rant I look at the car in front of us at the stop light and the licence plate said North Carolina. I stopped talking and mom and Becky started laughing. SO the answer is yes, I should go, it is going to be hard but the Lord is calling me to go at this time for a reason, and when He says go who am I to argue? Though this time will be and is incredibly hard, God has good things in store and His perfect will shall prevail. He will provide. He will make this time with Pappaw the best. Our family shall grow closer.And we shall learn to lean on Him all the more. Pray for us.

 On top of all of the emotional battles I have been fighting I have have lack of finances and MAJOR lack of a car. haha. He keeps reminding me of my prayers for Him to lead me into a life of walking in faith, what better way to lead me into that then to let my car has brake down, make my finances shaky (money does not grow on trees, shocker right??), make me lay my job down without full finances and ask me to buy an airplane ticket. This is crazy right, not logical in any way, right? This is one of my major faults is wanting a logical explanation for things, wanting to have control over a situation, having the money in full, having a car to get to and from, not having to depend on others to get to work and back. He is breaking me of this bit by bit and bringing me so much freedom in the midst of it. The key line He has been speaking to me is "walk in faith, step in trust, and THEN I will show you that I am faithful." Meaning, step out and believe He will follow through in His promises. 


The other night I was looking at airplane tickets and I was at the point of buying the ticket then I recoiled and told Him, "I can't do this, I need you to show me that you CAN and WILL provide, show me I am on the right path." The ticket that I was looking at was around $135. The next morning my mom called me and told me that I had just received a check in the mail for $140. YAY GOD! He is faithful in every way.


Also, the Lord has provided a way for me to spend nearly a week with one of my dearest friends before I head off to my DTS, not only does He care about the big things, but also the small ones, He loves to give sweet kisses to His children.


Thank you all so much for your prayers, it means a lot knowing I have people surrounding me that are praying for me and my family.


Hannah

Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass… Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him. Psalm 37:3-7
