Some Exciting News!
........... AFRICA here I come!
There is some sadness in this news. All training requires I be in Africa for a month in the summer. Which means I will not be able to serve at camp Qwanoes this summer (or atleast in the Head Counseling position). I never in a million years thought God would call me to any other ministry than Qwanoes. I've been there for 8 summers! It has been the main source of spiritual and leaddership growth for me! Ohhh my heart!
A few weeks ago God started to prepare my heart! Isaiah says
“Seek justice,
encourage the oppressed.
Defend the cause of the fatherless,
plead the case of the widow.”
Isaiah is such an interesting book. It talks about God loathing the people's worship! And the Lord's soultion is what is stated above! Ohhh my heart! This verse is now a booming calling on my heart! I'm comming, I will seek Justice, I will encourage the oppressed and I will love thoes beautiful African Children!!!!!
My heart is getting stirred up! To follow God where ever he leads, even if it means having no bed to call my own for 15 months and living out of a suitcase! I will do it because what is better that passionately pursuing Christ where ever He takes you!?! (I'm kinda feeling like I did when you guys were all about to arrive at Kaleo and I had no idea what the year would have in store...but so stinking excited!) So good-bye to comfort, good-bye to the "normal life" , good-bye to control and here's to the start of a big adventure! Here's to the "More" that my heart has been yearning for! hahah totaly didn't mean that to rhyme!
Dotto in Pursuit!
p.s. I am getting really excited for seeing you guys all again at the weddings this spring! Like really really excited! You are all missed! Like a lot! And that's cuz your loved!

Dotto that's awesome. Exciting to hear that God is leading you on this crazy, out of normal comforts journey!! It's always interesting when you get pulled away from what you thought was your one and only love, camp...
I'll be praying for you Dotto! We should hang out in the next week before Christmas.
