My Head is Spinning!

Wow! I am sure glad God knows what He's doing because I certainly don't! Last week I got a phone call from the YWAM base in Lakeside letting me know that I had not been accepted there but that there was a base in Canada that they thought would be a really good fit for me. I gave them the go ahead to send them my app and she told me that I'd probably hear back in two days or so. After I'd heard nothing from them, I figured that I probably wasn't going to go. At first I was a little upset with God and really questioning a lot because I had no idea where to go from there. Finally on Sunday I came to terms with it all and told God that if He wanted me to stay in Great Falls, I would be okay with that. I actually began to get a litte excited about staying in Great Falls and seeing what God would have for me here.

Today while I was getting ready to go out to dinner with a friend, I got a call from the base in Canada. It was one of the DTS leaders and he was calling because they had some questions about some of the things I had put in my application. We talked for about ten minutes and he let me know that they were still praying over my app and would get back to me within the next couple of days. I got off the phone pretty certain that I was not going to go. Five minutes later the phone rang again. I answered and much to my suprise, it was the DTS leader calling me back. The first thought that ran through my head was, "What now? More questions?" He first apologized for calling twice in five minutes and then let me know that he had talked to his co-leader and they are made their decision and I was accepted!!!!

I am still in shock! I have six days to get everything together before I leave. I have not even begun to raise support yet but I'm trusting God in that. I know He will bring in the finances! Please be praying for me as I start preparing to leave! I have a tendancy to REALLY stress out and I don't want my last week here filled with stress and anxiety. I am trusting that God will give me His peace as I prepare myself to leave. Also, please be praying that God will bring in the finances. I don't know how much I'll need when I get there but I do know that I need around 7,000 total. Thankfully I don't need the entire amount up front! If you would like to help me out financially, or just get put on my mailing list to receive updates, please e-mail me at lyssajane@gmail.com
