Round 2

What can I say.... Gods plan will always prevail! A few months ago I was frustrated with life in general. I was missing what God had for me all along. I was dreading a job I once loved. Through a random/amazing act from God I have taken a new salon job that I love! I'm back in my groove and very happy. This would be a salon I could stay at for a while! The woman are amazing and the environment is a wonderful fit for me. BUT.. always a but right... I received an email from a dear friend, Kelly, who is leading the DTS (Discipleship Training School) in Australia in September. The same school I attended last October. She asked me to pray about volunteer staffing this school and that I would be a great asset to the team! She is the ONE that reached out to me more than anyone and poured into my life when needed. At that moment I realized I want and desire to be that person for these girls. I want to pour into girls life and share Gods love to this school. What makes it all the more special is my brother, AJ, will be attending this school as a student. He has been feeling called to dig deeper and really examine his heart and get right with God! I'm so proud of him and pumped to share this experience with him! As much as I did NOT want to be away for the Holidays, at least now I will have part of my family with me! I am nervous and excited for this journey. I know God will use me in the places I am needed because I am more than willing to serve him. I also just recently found out my best friend may be going over seas to serve and partner with Destiny Rescue for 3 months and I am so proud of her! I'm surrounded by amazing people who desire to follow Gods will for there lives and I love being a part of that.

I fly out September 14Th (27 days!) and my commitment is until December 2010. I will try (God willing) to come home for a month in between so see everyone and give updates face to face! God has blessed me with am amazing family as a support system! I will work up until the beginning of September trying to earn as much money as I can before I leave. However this is a volunteer staffing position so I will have to raise support again. They encourage us to get monthly supporters, for example: 12 supporters giving $50 a month or 25 giving $20. Of course a one time donation is awesome as well. It is a tax-deductible contribution and I have an account set up through a YWAM base in Texas that takes care of everything for me and you! There is also direct bill-pay online available as well to make it easier, just email patrobinson@ywamtyler.org and ask how! You can also send a donor-preferenced gift made out to YWAM and enclose a separate note requesting that YWAM make the donation to me. Also checks should mailed to:

I want to ask you to pray about what I have shared with you and if it seems like something you would like to be a part of then your prayers and/or financial support would be appreciated. Things that I will need prayer for::

• The September school has more girls than guys (which is different from the school i was on, we had 2 guys houses & 1 girls house now it will be visa versa). More girls means.. I will have more one-on-one’s & a bigger small group to lead.
• I ask you to pray for God’s wisdom as I help mentor these girls. I will need prayer for rest as we will have a busy schedule and that I would make quiet times a high priority.
• You can pray for God’s guidance in all of my steps & actions down there.. as i will be in a leadership role.. I will need to be bringing everything before the Lord asking his guidance on every area of my life.
• Also keep my family in your prayers as they send off two of their four kids over seas.

I want this to be my heart... and I'm trying

Philippians 2:3-4

³Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. ⁴Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU... to you all who are a part of this with me!
