Faithful to the Last

This afternoon I received some exciting news. 

After over two months of paperwork, lots of waiting and prayer and a little stress my application for a Religious Workers Visa has been granted! 

I have learned so much about God's faithfulness and stedfast love during this short season in my life. 

I have learned that my worth is not based in how much how work but in Jesus Christ. I have learned how to relax and enjoy people and simple things like coffee and books and twenty minute conversations. 

My visa being granted allows me to be back in the office working on the upcoming July DTS. I am so excited to be working towards a common goal with my fellow staff again. I'll be back in the office tomorrow working on a promo video for the July DTS (which I will share soon), communicating with potential students and brainstorming ideas with other DTS staff. 

All the praise goes to God for this entire visa process. It is truly a miracle that I have gotten it so quickly, proving that God has had his hand all over this situation the whole time! 

When I first applied for my visa, in January, I felt like God told me to plan for it to be granted by the end of March (which seemed a little crazy at the time). Well here we are, with four days left in the month of March and my visa has been granted. God is faithful to the last! 

Our base comes together at the beginning of each week to worship God together. 

This morning we were led by one of our newly married couples, Jaso and Emily. 

Their contagious freedom and joy mixed with their incredible musical talents created one of the most fun and free times of worship I have had in a long time. 

Joy. It filled the room. As a base we basked in it's freedom and excitement and energy. 

A friend of mine shared this song with me today. It's not about God; it's about a boy-girl relationship but I love its sound and the joy it has. 

Give it a listen and go into each day expecting God's joy.

One of my favorite bands Branches posted a link to a video made my Invisible Children Inc. and simply stated that they believed in the cause and to check it out. 


This is a band I admire a lot, so naturally I clicked on the link and for the next 29:59 minutes this incredible video had my undivided attention. 


I had heard about Invisible Children Inc. when it first hit Facebook nine years ago. My older brother brought it to my attention and the passion the young founders had kept me interested. I had no idea how far they had come and how big their movement had become. 


I encourage you to watch the video and see what you think. I love that the founder, Jason Russell, incorporates his son into the film, he is so cute and speaks with such childlike truth and conviction. I also love the incredible numbers of young people who have risen up and began to care and fight for issues outside of their own lives.
