I have had the craziest, busiest life and have been feeling empty, unfulfilled, and like all the desicions I made were wrong. I now no longer feel this way, even though life poses the same questions and trials. The big change or transformation was giving myself to the Lord. I am now a true Jesus follower, or in other words a Christian. I have felt the love of Christ on a much deeper more powerful level than ever before, it is truly amazing the changes I've witnessed in my dad and sister,Jade, as they too have surrendered thier lives to the Lord.
I have also come to know that I have been called to go to Belize City, off the Panama Cannal in Central America. Last Sunday a couple came down to talk about thier ministry in Belize, they were sharing stories and letting us know what was going on while they've been there. At the end they asked us for a donation (buying a T-shirt) to help support the camp and church they have there. As I was talking to the lady selling the shirts I felt prompted to ask more questions about the ministry, and that turned into asking what I could do to help. I told her I wanted to pray about going and being of help. She gave me her and her husbands e-mail address and phone number so we could keep in touch. I also asked my Pastor to pray for me, to help me know what I needed to do with my life at this point in it( not specicaly about going to Belize, but keeping that in mind). Earlier this week I e-mailed Lisa to tell her that I do want to go, and that I needed more information,ie: finances, food, shelter...., she said she would call me back and let me know the details Thursday (today) or Friday.
I am truley excited about this trip, I found that I will be introduced to 7 different languages, and will be discipling the Lords word to all ages and tongues (well 7 anyway) : ) I will be coming up with the majority of the money but, my Pastor said the church would be more than willing to help out. So needless to say I will be saving all my pennies, it will be roughly 7,200 for the year. Yes, I will be going for a year!
Through all the questioning and praying I also noticed I was in a relationship (with Paul) that was not right in timing, it was just to soon for me to so commited this early after my divorce, and during this time of my life. Our relationship was truly beautiful, and so I hope it is what God has planned for me, but if not I know I will have a truly beautiful relationship agian, as will he.
I feel so very blessed to have the family I do, and love you all so much. I pray for you all, and hope all is well. I am also so grateful for my mom and dad who showed me the true Gospel of Christ.
God Bless,
Amber.
