 Well I'm back from Gleanings. I've been back for about 2 weeks. It was a good summer. A lota work, very busy and it had its hard stuff. God is faithful to mold and shape us. It was good though. I've been still learning to step out more for Him. To take risks and not be so "safe" in my comfort zone. It's so nice to be back home. But not for long. I applied to go on YWAM DTS in New Zealand. It's on a ship that goes to different ports around New Zealand for the Lecture phase and for Outreach they go to Pacific Islands and do medical work along with evangelism. It's exciting, but it's still stepping out. It's not like I know from God I'm supposed to go on a DTS. I just feel there's no neg things about it and I really want to know God better. Life has always been too busy and it be cool to have 6 months of seeking God. It starts mid January.
Life is hard in certain ways these days. I'm learning to trust God even when I don't feel close. HE is right with us no matter what we feel. It's been hard though, faith and trust is a sacrifice.
I encourage you to step out in faith and risk your "comfort zone", security for God's glory. If there's somthing in front of you that you think would be good to do but are afraid or want to be "safe" then leave that behind and go for it. Trust God and His strength and step forward. Life is too short to be "safe". Lets believe who God is with our actions.

Keep pressin on guys,
Mark

He is no fool who gives what he can't keep to gain what he can't lose.

Hey cool, I had no idea about that DTS!!! Awsome! New Zealand.. Reminds me of an awsome family I met in Gleanings and whom I'd really love to see again sometimes. But I guess they're on their missiontrips too. Anyways I know what you're talking about when you say you can't really say that this is clear from god. It's like that too with the college for me. God never said exactly "milena you have to go" - but through the circumstances and all the closed doors I feel like it's the right thing. Plus it's honoring my parents which is for sure in god's will. Well I guess all I can say is god bless ya, miss ya - oh yeah and you look really good with long hair (I've seen some pics from cornelia and your sister), keep it that way!

Well I haven't seen you since you got back so I still miss you, but it's good to know that you are only a car ride away. It's also sad that you might be leaving again soon, but I know that what God is doing in your life is VERY exciting. You should come to the Garfields Bible study tonight or any Wed. night at seven. Your sisters come.
