A Quiet Ask, In Loving Memory of Paul D. Cable

Image
Hello friends, I write to you today for a quite unfortunate reason. And I need to do something that is hard for me... I need to ask you to pray for me. Yesterday morning I woke up to a text from my cousin in Pensylvania informing me that my dad had gone into a coma and would not be waking up. He had been in the hospital for about a week, the day before the doctors actually told him he had 6 months to live if he stayed away from alcohol, he needed a new liver to survive and his long-term alcoholism kind of took him out of the UNOS drawing pool. But he took a turn for the worst overnight and his liver and all other major organs failed and his body shut down and he fell asleep and the doctors were pretty certain he wouldn't wake up. At 4:12pm yesterday I got a call from my mom, my dad had died a half hour beforehand. I am very closed off, asking this of anyone is tough for me, but since coming to the Lord I am realizing more and more that we cannot simply rely on our own under...

La première semaine était incroyable

Image
Hello friends, As promised, I am keeping up with my blog once per week so that yinz back in the states can have peace of mind of two things a) I am still alive and haven't fallen off the face of the earth and b) I am still being a servant to the Lord and listening to His beckoning call and the things He is asking of me whilst in France, which arguably is far more important than dying. Anywho, I thought you all would like to know that I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE France. J'adore. C'est tellement beau. Ahh. And the food...oh my gosh the food. I firmly believe you have not lived until you try French food. It is that good. I am so blessed to have gotten such a great opportunity to minister to very lost people who live in such a beautiful place with such great food. Haha. Which brings me to the really really truly good stuff. Though the food is hard to compare to, the ministry and the things that I am jumping in on here are even better. And I reallyyyyyyy like food so that ...

My Reason for Living

This song by United Pursuit is the only thing that gets me through my day at times. The lyrics are so true and beautiful, the song beautifully describes what it is like to know and trust the Lord and I highly recommend you listen to it. The Lord is so present when this song is playing. If you are ever having a bad day, listen to this and I promise it will get better and you will have a few beautiful moments with the Lord because of listening to it and if you don't, come talk to me. There was one, when I was young who knew my heart, He knew my sorrow, He held my hand and He lead me to trust Him Now I am hidden In the safety of your love I trust your heart and your intentions I trust you completely I'm listening intently You'll guide me through these many shadows As I grow and as I change May I love you more deeply, I will lean upon your grace, I will weep because your goodness is unending You are my vision My reason for living Your kindness lead...

Nothing But Faith

Image
For the past few months, I have been preparing, mentally, physically and spiritually for what the Lord has planned for me. And for one small second, I am going to crawl out of the tiny shy girl that never asks for anything or accepts any praise willingly and say that I am doing something big. That I am doing something amazing. I don't need anyone to tell me that what I am doing is amazing, especially for being so young. Because I know that. I know that what I am doing is amazing. But, as I am sure you all understand, it is not me who is doing this. This great and awesome thing, this mission for the Lord to bring more people to Him, is not my doing. Our all-powerful, mighty God is the sole person behind this. I am admitting to everyone reading this that this journey has not been an easy one for me. In fact, I sat down to write this after crying to my mom telling her how unworthy I am of such praise, asking her "what if" questions. "What if I can't do thi...

God's Heart for Me, God's Heart for the World

As of 8:13am this very morning, I have officially accepted appointment as a Pioneers missionary and will be leaving to serve in Europe for three months at the end of September (if I have enough support by then). I am so so so happy to have been blessed with appointment, I am incredibly excited to be working with all different types of people groups throughout Europe, bringing them to the Lord and showing them His great love.  I have been praying about this journey for a long time now, asking for comfort, peace, and lots and lots of clarity. I have spent the past few days at Pioneers USA in Orlando, getting to know different coaches and what they are all about and discussing my plans for Europe. I have talked with many different people, heard many powerful stories, and have been continually praying and asking God to guide my paths and make them straight and anoint me with a Godly decision.  Though there is much work to be done and not all of the details have been fi...
