Hello Goodbye

Well I can't believe its time to say this, but  Goodbye Lectures Phase and Hello Outreach Phase!

Has its really been 3 months already?

Well apparently, yes it has!

I have now completed studying 12 books of the Bible which have definitely given me a much deeper understanding of  a) the Bible as a whole, but b) understanding of how it plays out throughout history!

It as been so refreshing to gain understanding of both the head and heart, and I am excited for more revelations to surface as I now transition into teaching.

Picture Illustration: I feel like I'm a sponge that has been absorbing everything the past 3 months and now it is time for me to be "wrung out" lol

Filled with the purpose to pour out and be filled again

Although it is exciting to be finally able to communicate and teach the Bible to both youth and the people of Papua New Guinea, it's a bit intimidating with all the things we have to prepare this coming week (sermons, lessons, etc). As I've been transitioning from student to teacher role/ mindset, here is the encouragement God gave me in the midst of it:

"Then I said "Ah, Lord, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a [girl]." But the Lord said to me, "Do not say I am only a [girl] for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and you shall speak whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord. Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth; and the Lord said to me, "Now I have put my words in your mouth." - Jer 1:6-9

I find great confidence in this: it is God speaking through me, not me trying to do this on my own and hoping I sound smart, etc. With that said, would you please continue to pray for me this coming week as my school and I will be seeking God for inspiration and insight how to communicate his message of truth of the places we are about to go next weekend on outreach?!

So appreciate you love and support :)
