That is the exact feeling I have. I tell them ldquoI am really undetermined on how I feel.rdquo T http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Minnesota/blog-464008.html Busyness packed days and drinking out of a delicious fire hose is what defines my life as a YWAMer right now but I love it I wish that I had more time to write a weekly entry but it just seems that I can only get in a monthly one right now. I will try harder to maybe write every two weeks. It has been another AMAZING month and a half here at YWAM Mpls. I have given you all a nice long entr http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Minnesota/blog-458885.html That is one of the main things that I have been learning here at YWAM DTS. I have been so concerned with what God wants me to do rather than what he wants me to be. I thought that I would be coming here to DTS to get some great bible truths about my relationship with Christ. Right after that I thought I would be going to Haiti to take those truths to the Christ hungry Haitians. But Abba is sh http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Minnesota/blog-448436.html Early next week I will write a detailed entry of how amazingly Youth With A Mission Discipleship Training Sschool is going. J Right now though I would really appreciate all of your prayers. All of us students and staff met to hear about the details of each outreach which will take place from December 30February 20 as part of DTS. The two choices are Peru or India. Each one of us students wil http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Minnesota/Minneapolis/blog-445301.html As I sit here in my extremely empty room I think back on the last two years that I have gone by in my life. Those two years I have grown extremely comfortable in my everyday life. Going to work having a very comortable place to live with my own room with my own space. I've had 2 amazing jobs that I would receive paychecks from every two weeks. I am so used to having money come into my bank http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Haiti/blog-436570.html This past April I took a little road trip to visit Pam Plasier in Sioux Falls South Dakota to give her some supplies for her next trip to Haiti. It was a nice day so we decided to take a walk. As we were walking down the dirt country road she said Kirstin Mike and I met with the Mission Haiti board and I have some news. This doesn't sound good I replied. She then proceeded to tell me t http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Haiti/blog-425095.html Sunday night it rained so hard. The next morning it was still cloudy but the sun was starting to shine through the grey clouds. As I looked at the water from the night before on the leaves that are now clean it reminded me of something. Yesterday the leaves were dusty and thirsty. Today though they are clean and fed no longer thirsty. That is exactly what Christ does for us and continues http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Haiti/blog-414198.html Arriving in Haiti and seeing all the people that I met eight months ago reminded me of why I am called there. To rekindle the relationships and pour the truth of Christ into those people. I felt so at home when I was there I belong and feel that I am making a huge difference in that village of Petite Rivier. Christ through me is changing so many lives and I feel so privilaged to be a part of http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Haiti/blog-412655.html Before the actual trip started God was working. On Thursday I received a check for 100 in my name from one of my supporters. I thought that it was strange that the check would come in my name since I had told all of my supporters to make it out to Mission Haiti. The check also came with a note Use this for the Lord's work. I thought Ok Lord time for you to lead me what do I do with thi http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Haiti/blog-411979.html As I was reading the last entry for the trip to Haiti I realized that I did not put in the dates. Some of you have said to me in person Oh my you're leaving for a year already That is my mistake. I will be leaving for this upcoming trip this Saturday June 13th. I will be gone for until June 21st. Sorry to have confused you all I am hoping and praying that I will be going to Haiti for http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Haiti/blog-407385.html That's right I leave in 5 days I am so excited to get back to the Mission Haiti orphanage and all the people of TiRivier. This trip will be different then the other trips I have been on. The two other times that I have gone they have been medical trips. I don't have a medical professional so while it was a great experience I didn't feel like I was being used to my highest potential. This trip http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Haiti/blog-406736.html Going to Haiti for a year is not done on your own. I need prayer support so that is why I send out prayer requests in all of my entries. I am also in need of financial support as well. If you would like to give here is what you can doFinancial support instructions 1. Make the check out to Mission Haiti. 2. Write Kirstin Miller in the ldquomemordquo part of the check. 3. Send the check to http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/blog-406735.html
