| Me and my besti's at Disneyland on my birthday :) |
I get that all the time :) And it's a valid question... but I am currently right where I last left you..
San Diego California.
In this time, I have seen a lot of people.. there's a lot of catching up to do after you've been away for quite some time if you know what I mean. I, like many unfortunately, got sick for 2 weeks... but in that time I rested (It's a good thing really I promise!) And had a lot of time with God.. not that He ever leaves us. But you know.. quality R&R. And out of the time spent hanging out with God many dreams were resurfaced in my life, and others were added to.
Have also been helping taking care of this little guy named Lorenzo ..
who is quite a champion and inspiration I'd say..
As an infant, Lorenzo was diagnosed with cancer in the eyes, and more recently at the age of 11, has been undergoing chemotherapy for cancer in his bones. My old roommate has been watching him for several years and needed some help in the months leading up to her wedding. Lorenzo loves Jesus.. and says his favorite thing to do is to read the bible.. When I asked him if he ever hears God's voice he said, "Yes.. He reminds me of who I am, and who He is".. cha-yeah... that's pretty amazing for an 11 year old.. Please be praying for him!
Last some of you may have heard, I was praying about going to Asia next.. I didn't feel by any means finished with this trip God had called me to, because there were still many countries left ahead of me.. and guess what?
I still feel that way! If anything, all of the disasters taking place in Asia and Asia Pacific just brings even more confirmation that I am supposed to go.
Specifically the countries/cities that i believe God is calling me to are China, Thailand, Japan, Australia, and possibly New Zealand. I have some friends that are praying about joining the Trek as well.
Once again, the 'format' or 'structure' so to speak of this trip will be similar to the last journey... so you can consider this the Global Trek part II.
Time wise, I am looking into leaving mid April. How I will pay for all of this, I have no idea! But, I do know from previous experience.. our God is faithful to provide.. if He says GO.. nothing will prevent that from taking place.. no matter what the circumstance.. in His timing it will happen.
So here I am.. in San Diego stepping out in many different directions.. beginning to see dreams unravel.. and still in the midst of all of this feel that I need to continue on with the mission that God gave me, and all of us...
"Therefore GO and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age" - Matthew 28:19-20
All because of the authority we have in Jesus!
Love to you all,
Lauren
