This past week has been amazing. God has been showing me so much and working through so many of the people in my life. I have been blessed to spend much needed time with my family, visit with friends, and reconnect with lost friends. It has been such a blessing. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has committed to pray for me and my work, and for sponsoring me financially. I wouldn't be able to return to Costa Rica without you!
As of right now I am about 1/4 of the way funded! Praise God! And thank you all so much for donating and partnering with me! I am still fundraising and hoping to leave late Feb. or early March. It's all in God's timing!! If you would like to donate you can subscribe monthly, or give a one time donation here on my blog!
God has been doing so much in Costa Rica with 6:8 Ministries. I can not wait to be there and be apart of God's work there! We are now working in 4 different feeding centers, finishing up Child Sponsorship, and still in the early stages of raising funding for the Childrens Ranch! So many great things happening!
Thank you again for all of your prayers, support, and encouragement!

Hopeful
I have been home from Costa Rica for 3 months now. This time has been a blessing, a burden, wonderful, stressful, fun, adventurous, prayerful, difficult, God filled, and a much needed time with my family and friends. As I prepare to return to Costa Rica I have several fears, but above all the worries I am so joyful to be fulfilling God's plan for me! I will again be working with 6:8 Ministries caring and loving on the people of Alajuelita, San Jose, Costa Rica. I will continue to be a light for God's people and know that I am living out His will for my life.
Making the decision to leave again is difficult. I will be leaving my family for long periods of time and all of my friends. God has blessed me with a ridiculously awesome family. I have parents that I know love me and want what is best for my life. A sister who is always so caring and loving and wants me to live my life for God. I have an awesome set of grandparents, who even though they don't always understand why I would want this, they are still supporting me and just want me to be happy. All of my friends, members of church, other family members, and coworkers have been so encouraging! They are keeping me accountable on what God is calling me to do, always praying for me, and keeping me in God's word. I am tremendously blessed. God has placed so many awesome people in my life. I pray and strive to be as much of an impact in their lives as they are in mine. Even though this is difficult, I know God has an awesome plan for me and I am so happy and blessed to answer His calling!
6:8 Ministries is welcoming me back and has been praying for my speedy return. I am not sure of my departure date yet. I am still in the early stages of fundraising, but will be returning as soon as I have the funds. Throughout all of this process, I have said I will be leaving on God's timing, not mine. When my funds are raised, that is when I know God wants me to be there. Please be in prayer for me. I invite all of you to take a moment and talk with God about how He may be calling you to help. If that is through prayer, words of encouragement, or financial support. God will provide. He does this by having His people support those in need. Thank you for being apart of God's awesome plan!
Thank you Lord, for all of your blessings. For calling me, sending me to Costa Rica, and showing me one of my purposes in life. Thank you Lord for my amazing family that loves me unconditionally and for all of the people you have purposefully placed in my life. Thank you for my friends who have been such a blessing and for their encouragement. Thank you for providing me with so many great role models and mentors who continue to show me how much you are taking care of me. Thank you for reconnecting me with some lost friends. Lord, I pray for my friends and family who might be effected by my absence. I pray you give them peace and the knowledge that this is of You! I pray for the 6:8 ministry staff who may be going through difficult times as we prepare for the wonderful things you have planned for the ministry. I pray for the community of Alajuelita, that they are open to your word God, that they see us as a source from you and that we can show them that Your love is never ending. Thank you Lord for your love and mercy. I pray Lord that you break our hearts for what breaks yours. Amen.
