I can’t believe that July is over! Y’all there is only one month until I leave! Like 4 weeks, that’s insane?!
J U L Y R E C A P:
last month I shared that I was having a hard time with life in general, in the trenches if you will! However, the Lord has brought me through it as He always does. July has been a month of travel, the first of many goodbyes, and sweet memories. My prayer going into this month was that I wouldn’t miss what the Lord had for me in my remaining time at home. He has answered this prayer, and I have seen the faithfulness of the Lord to slow my heart down. I went into this month dreading the craziness of it all but to my surprise it has been the most restful time I’ve had in awhile. The Lord is beautiful in that way, meeting us in the mess of life. His presence brings peace, He Himself is peace as I press into His presence peace comes.
The Lord has taught me a lot about myself over the recent months. Now more than ever do I realize my brokenness and need for Him. I am realizing more and more the depth of the heart of Jesus. Like I really thought that I had already learned some of what the Lord is teaching me. HAHA that’s so funny that I thought that I was beyond learning something. But the kindness of the Lord is to gently correct and then continue to show me more.
I am learning of the heart of Jesus for me like never before. The Lord clicked something in my heart the other day that I have known for years. It’s simple, it’s the gospel. Jesus’ heart aches for me. He longs and desires me. It’s not this crazy unheard of revelation but it is the reminder that woke my spirit up and took me past this wall that I had up. He is so kind to remind us of His love, which after all is the basis of it all. There is much more, but for now Im enjoying the simple bliss that comes from knowing that the heart of Jesus really aches for me, I am safe in Him. His presence is the safest place. Hallelujah.

Im 86% funded with only $2,700 left to raise. That’s insane, going into this I had no idea how the money was going to come in but the Lord is faithful to provide. Hallelujah.
P R A Y E R R E Q U E S T :
We are in the home stretch, it’s almost time to leave! I ask that y’all keep praying over my heart as I prepare to go. Pray for continued peace and excitement and well as for the rest of the people that I am going with. Keep praying that the funds would come in. Keep praying for the nations we’re going to. Ultimately pray that the gospel would cut many hearts, change many lives, and that many would fall in love with Jesus. All things are from Him and For Him. May Jesus be honored!
Love you all, thank you for your encouragement and faithfulness to support the gospel.
Be encouraged by 1 peter 1:6-9
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been [a]grieved by various trials, 7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8 whom having not [b]seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.
