When Are You Coming Back?

Recently, I have been asked this question a lot. I thought I'd share specifics on that subject.

The short answer is, maybe never. If I'm truly honest, my intention when I came to Texas was to start this crazy journey God was calling me on. Returning to Minnesota to live is, most likely not in the plans. Visits I hope do come, but I may have to wait for a bit before such things happen.

I start Night Discipleship Training School August 17th. Then, I go on a missions trip in May/June 2016 with my classmates. After this, I have no idea for sure right now what I'm doing. My prayer is whether or not to continue on in Church Plant Training School to be sent out by Antioch Church somewhere in the USA or abroad. I'm currently leaning towards this, but seeking the Lord in this still until I have to make a for sure decision.

Today, I set up a Go Fund me Page for those interested in supporting me early on in this process, as I grow and develop the skills needed to be a better servant of the Lord. www.gofundme.com/uxg3u4

I want to make my heart clear in that I want to share Christ with those who don't know Him. I want to share His Redeeming Love with those who have never felt a life-changing love. I want to be used by God to restore women's lives especially, but not exclusively. Maybe that's here in the USA, maybe it's not. My prayer right now is that God would direct me and put on my heart a clarification as to where I would go....beyond "restoring women's lives" and into a pinpointed place of "these women, over there, hurting, and broken." Whenever I see a map of the world, I get a little nauseous lately because I am truly praying to God, "I will go anywhere you want me to." The likelihood He's gonna send me back to where I have come from isn't high, but isn't that just like God? He doesn't call us out, grow us up, and strengthen us to send us backwards. No. He sends us forwards, to places we could never imagine. At this point in my life, I'm saying....."Lord, here I am. Send me." It's as exciting as it is terrifying. It's a peaceful as it is unsettling. For once in my life I am seeking His will above my own, above any other human's, and it is freeing.

The question I'm asking isn't "When am I going back?" It is: "Where am I going NEXT?"
