New Updates!

Hello All!
I have not written a blog update in a very long time so I thought it was about time I update you on what is going on in my life. There is SO much!! Well as you all might know, I am currently taking classes here in Colorado. That is all going well, but I am ready for something new. That is where the news comes in. In January I will be involved in a program called YWAM (otherwise known as Youth With a Mission). There, I will be doing a program called Compassion DTS. This program is all about training youth who have a heart for missions. And that is ME! I will be learning all about serving the poor and the needy and how God works into that. This is also about showing mercy and love to those who do not have it. To those who do not have a voice. This program ends with a two month mission in another country. Not sure where I am going to choose to go, but I am sure God will put me somewhere wonderful. This summer as well I am hoping to be involved in an organization called Love for the Sake of Love. There, I will hopefully serving in Africa for some of the summer. I know God will use me as he wishes.
Here is a song that I have been listening to and is really touching my heart.

In Christ alone, my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My comforter, my all-in-all

Here in the love of Christ I stand

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious day

Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory

Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life’s first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

Love to you all.

Colorado

Well I haven't posted anything in a while so I guess I would update it. I am officially in Colorado and have been for a couple of weeks now. School has started and life as begun. I am still living with my cousins, but will most likely be moving out on the eighth of september. I have a possibly of a job, but would appreciate prayers on that. I need something consistent. One thing that has been going through my mind is the question of school. I know what I want to do. I want to serve God and make an impact on our society. Things need to change for the better and I want to do that. I want to do that for my entire life. Now does that require an education?? I pray that God will guide my life how he wants. That requires faith. Faith that He will do what he wants. Today, I had the opportunity of seeing Margret Feinburg preach. She is the Author of the Organic God and many other books. She was an amazing speaker and an amazing author. Her lesson was about how we are God's flock. He guides us and we need to listen to what he wants to do in our lives. More soon.
Much love,
Anna

I think that I will share with you a little about what is on my mind. In two weeks I will be moving out of my house to COLORADO! Right now a lot of things are up in the air. I'm not sure where I am going to live, how I will get around, and where I will work. I am very nervous. I am letting God work as he wants. I want him to do his will in my life. Some other things that are going on in my mind is if I want to go to school. I know I want to work with kids at risk. Does this mean that I have to go to school or that I can just get involved in an organization? I would appreciate prayers as I try to work this out in my mind. I pray that God is in control over my life and things will work as he wants. This means that I may not always know what is going to happen and I may not always like what happens, but God knows all. I don't want to forget what I learned in Africa. I don't want to forget the things I witnessed. I want to do God's work. Also, I would appreciate the things that may happen this summer. I may be getting involved in this organization called Love for the sake of Love. This summer they are planning a trip to Uganda to build an orphanage. I really would love the chance to do this if that is what God desires of me. I would love to go back to Uganda and work with the people there.

Much love,
Anna

This song gets me every time I listen to it. The words are just so incredible. Today as I was pondering over my life and my dreams for the future I just couldn't figure it out. I was always so sure about what I wanted. But, after my experience in Africa my heart and my mind has decided on one thing. I want to serve God. Serve him all the days of my life. Life couldn't get much better with that as my goal. I want to be in Africa right now. Serving God. I want to work with the children. I want to share with them the love of God and the hope that he brings to everyone. Forget school, I feel that God is calling me towards this.

The One: Everyday Sunday
I am here, and I’m with You now
And I didn’t think I could feel this way
I am here and I’m with You now
Because You found me somehow

I can be the one tonight
When everything seems out of sight
I will follow You with all my life
I can be the one tonight

Jesus, You are the one that makes me smile
over and over again
I am here and I’m with You now
I want to hear You somehow

I can be the one tonight
When everything seems out of sight
I will follow You with all my life
I can be the one tonight

Church Tomorrow
