March 30, 2011

Hello everyone! So I am still in Spokane, WA and having a blast being home. I came home to support my parents who just got ordained!!! What an awesome blessing to see my parents being honored and put into an Associate Pastors position at The Rock of Ages Christian Fellowship. They have been incredible parents, and even better examples of how to love like Christ. They have ALWAYS supported me so it was only reasonable for me to fly across the world to be there for the ordination.

Outside of hanging with family and friends I have been working with one of my best friends Kyle Jordan, for his business called Kyle Jordan Lawncare. Its been awesome to hang out with him. He's such an awesome man of God, and I am grateful to even know him. If anyone needs lawn thatching, aerating, weekly mowing or odd jobs, you should definitely call Kyle at 509-413-7470. He's had his business for several years and has paid for school at Whitworth up through his junior year (his current year). Anyway, God has been sooo good in providing bits of work from Kyle, and the Lord has also begun to open more folks hearts to give into my internship in New Zealand. 32,000 dollars is a lot, but it's awesome how God is so much bigger than that.

Something the Lord has been teaching me is to not only lean ON God but to lean INTO God. He's been showing me to really push into Him, really to dwell with Him. We not only should be walking with the Holy Spirit within our daily life, by praying and talking to him, but also lift up words of praise and encouragement to Him and those we interact with. The spirit of God is so powerful. Kyle and I have been going out and sowing fliers for his business, and I have just been praying over the fliers. I prayed that God would bless Kyle and his business, that Gods spirit would be over the actual fliers so that they would be protected and that people would be attracted to them! It was sooo cool to hear the stories that Kyle told me of how people called right after we had put a flier at their house. Last saturday we went out for a couple hours on Five Mile and Kyle got 19 voice mails just from that day! This was all just more confirmation that as we trust in the Lord and really lean into Him, He will prosper us and give us an abundance! Remember where your money goes, is where your heart really is. SO GIVE! Give as the Lord leads you and He will give you an abundance in ways you never thought possible. I have been challenged in that area, and God has been faithful to give me way more I have sowed!

 I pray everyone is being blessed! I would love to hear from folks as you read my posts! :) Please continue to pray for me as I continue my journey through this internship. Also if you want to give financially go ahead and click the "donate" button on the right.

 I am leaving for New Zealand this tuesday! So my next post will be back there!

Blessings, D

  1. So great to hear your heart - And Kyle was one of the main guys that I spent time with in Spokane! I sure do miss him too! That is so cool to hear about his business - I didn't know he was still doing that - I thought it was a 1 summer venture. Anyways, I will continue to pray for you and I want to also give to your internship. I believe in you man, and I look forward to hearing more about your journey with Christ! Have a blessed flight!
