Psalm 18

This morning I was reading my Bible and began reading Psalm 18. This Psalm is so encouraging and so uplifting! As I was reading it I thought...I need to keep this in the front of my mind while I am in Madagascar.
If you know me at all...you probably know that I am not one to go and do things by myself. I don't like to go places and do things...especially for long periods of time...on my own. I tend to depend on other people to be there with me...do things with me...make decisions with me...etc. I have come to realize that God is trying to teach me...that at ALL times...I am to depend on HIM! So He decided to send me to Madagascar to teach me this lesson. :)

I know that God has many things to teach me and He is going to mature me!! Knowing that is exciting!! So anyways...this Psalm just encouraged me and I thought I would share it. What an awesome God we serve!!

It is a really long Psalm so I am going to share the part I really cling to! :)

For You will light my lamp;
The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

For by You I can run against a troop,
By my God I can leap over a wall.

As for God, His way is perfect;

The word of the Lord is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

For who is God, except the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?

It is God who arms me with strength,

And makes my way perfect.

Psalm 18:28-32

86 days...

Well...in exactly 86 days I will be preparing to fly out of this country. I got my flight schedules and everything is becoming very real! I will flying out on January 13th 2013 and will fly into Johannesburg, Africa for a couple days then will head to Madagascar.

I am super excited and very nervous at the same time. This will be the hardest thing I've ever done and the most awesome thing I've ever done too. I know God has great things in store for me as I go and obey the command He has given me!

I will be flying back on May 31st and landing June 1st in the US! I have been blessed to be able to be in contact with the missionaries I will be working with, and the girl who will be working alongside me. I  am thankful that I have had a chance to get to know them. It has made leaving a lot easier.

As the days approach I will be updating with what God is doing in preparing me. God is good!!

Blessings,

Dani

His ways are best...

I woke up around 7 on Tuesday morning and while laying in bed browsed through my emails...my heart immediately started pounding when I saw "Hands On" in the subject. Next to those words I read...

Madagascar...

I must admit that my first thought was OH NO!! Many of you may or may not know that when I applied for this program my top choices were orphanages in China. I was convinced I would be working with sweet babies in China and was just waiting on them to confirm it so that I could tell everyone. So I opened the email and as I read I just knew that I would be going exactly where God had in mind all along. 

I will be teaching True Love Waits curriculum to the youth groups at schools, churches and in villages. I am so excited about this opportunity. I feel like God has blessed me with being a living example of what I will be teaching. I have felt the last few months that God has been giving me a desire to do more teaching and here is an amazing opportunity to do so. :)

I have heard from the missionaries that I will be working with and they seem so sweet! They have been there 9 years and know what they are doing!

Please pray for me that God will be glorified in all I do! Please pray for safety of travels and while I am there! As time goes on I will give more specific prayers requests!! :)

I can't wait to see what God does and see Him working in the people there.

I am going to try and keep this updated as much as I can!!

On another note...the cost of the trip is 4,000. I am praying that God will provide my every need, as I know He will!! If you feel led to contribute to the cost...there is a Paypal button at the top of my blog just click it and it will go straight to where you can donate. Or if you would rather mail something you can send it to:

Thank you so much for you love, support, and prayers!!! 

Hands On

Welcome!!
Thank you for taking the time to check out my page!
This blog is going to be used to share all my future mission projects that I will be doing.

For the past few years I have sensed God's leading me to be more involved with mission work. I have been praying that God would open the door for me to be able to be apart of something. Well, in July of 2012 I had the opportunity to go to Haiti with Hillcrest Baptist Church of Enterprise, AL. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back one day!!

From that trip I really felt like God was calling me to be more involved that just an occasional trip somewhere. So, I am happy to say that I have been approved by the International Missions Board to be apart of their "Hands On" program for college aged students. I am so excited and can't wait to see how God uses me, changes me, and makes me more like HIM!!

I am currently waiting to find out my specific assignment. I know I will be going in January sometime but do not know for sure where yet or what exact dates. I will definitely post when I find out. Until then I may post some different things God has taught me through this whole experience.:)

Until then,
Dani <3
