Off To My Mission Field

I wanted to take this time to thank you once again for all of your support! I am so thrilled and couldn't ever thank you enough for your thoughts and prayers! I wish I had the opportunity to thank each of you individually and share untold stories of how God opened up my eyes to a whole new world. It has been a life changing experience and I have grown in so many ways. God is continually opening up doors for my future and showing me the plans he has next for my life. We have just completed debrief week and it is mind boggling that I just graduated from DTS! There is so much going on in my head and it will take a long time to realize everything God has done for me.

Overall, I hope you've been able to learn something from these blogs in the past 5 months of my life and I pray that God has stirred something in each of your hearts. I'd really like to challenge you to take a chance on God and to give all of your heart to him. What do you have to lose? I guarantee if you pursue my God wholeheartedly and challenge him, he will show up and make himself known. So often we put him in a box, because we don't know anything different. Rarely do we step out in faith and allow God to move in radical ways. He is more powerful than you could ever imagine and is longing for you to get to know him. I just really want you to know that God's love is so great, so overwhelming, that he has already forgiven you for everything, yes EVERYTHING, in your past and he is eagerly waiting to become your best friend. Man will continually fail you, but my God is perfect and will never fall short.

By no means do you need to take a DTS to know God or make him known, because he is the same here, as he was on outreach and he will be the same when I return home. I really hope that I am able to see you all once I arrive home and if you see me or want to meet up and hear more about what God is teaching me, I would love to share with you stories of instances that God showed up BIG TIME! It will take more than a 30 second convo though so be ready to set aside some time.

Through out my DTS I've learned numerous things and I've found that the more I study the Bible and learn more about God, the more I realize how much I don't know. What I do know though is that as a disciple of Christ I am called to Love God and Love Others and that is something I will struggle to do every day, but it's not by my strength but Christs strength in me. If you'd like to talk more I gladly encourage you to facebook message me or email (jc7soccer@hotmail.com) me and I would love to discuss anything and everything God has been teaching me here. Thanks for following along! Take care and God Bless!
