Disciplined Prayers

Many, many, many life updates for y’all. It’s been a crazy season of answered prayers and broken hearts. I’m actually writing this blog from Maputo, Mozambique Africa. I don’t claim to be a writer. I always make so many typos and write too many run on sentences but, I’m learning to treat myself with more discipline. Disciplined with my time, disciplined with my prayers, disciplined with my words and disciplined with my thoughts.

A few months ago an opportunity was brought to me that I never thought would have been in the cards for me. Me saying yes is truly just a testimony to Gods faithfulness. A few years ago the word that was on my heart was “yes”. I said yes to any and every opportunity that came my way. That year started with me going last minute to the Passion Conference and ended with me in Africa and saying yes to 3 months in Israel. That year of saying yes also taught me to say yes to saying no. God taught me the importance of a prayerful yes. A yes that is lead in love instead of in impulse.

I just accepted a position at St. Mary’s to help lead the youth and children. And that was probably my biggest yes this season. Such a privilege to be able to seek the Lord with such a difficult decision. A few months ago Father Eric came to me asking if I knew anything one that would be a potential good fit for the position. I know a lot of people and come in contact with a good portion of the town daily so I didn’t really think anything of it. I actually tried to get a friend to move here for the position, but God had other plans.

I ended up going to a Silent a Saturday vigil at St Mary’s. And that ended up leading to me feeling like God wanted me to apply for the position.

This blog is not finished but I’m posting it for the time stamp because I’ve been so busy on this mission! Bu done (or almost done” beats perfect)
