Am I being conceited in saying this?

Last week (well now almost 2 weeks ago), God really laid it upon my heart, that I needed to share what He had been teaching me. He has been teaching me all about Joshua 1:9. To read more about it, you can check out my last blog.

Really, what it comes down to is the fact, that He hasn’t made us small, inferior creatures living on this earth.  No!  If you read in Genesis, you will see that God gave man dominion OVER the animals.  Friends, we have been given so much!  We have been given much, so that we can be a blessing to others.  I’m not trying to say, “oh, look at me, look at me.”  No, this isn’t my statement at all. It’s more like “wow, look at GOD, look at HIM!” Without trying to sounded arrogant, God has given me gifts and He knew exactly where He would call me.  Look!  Look at what GOD is doing! Once again, without trying to sound conceited, I have been purposed here in Romania (specifically Daneasa) for a purpose, and every single day, I am reminded of that. 

I want to be BOLD.  I want to be GUTSY.  I want to declare God’s name all over the streets of Daneasa and the surrounding communities!  Wow, how I desire for them to Him?!  Even moreso, how much does He desire them to know Him?!  So much more than I do…

It comes down to this…BOLDNESS!  2 Timothy 1:7 says this: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” I do believe that fear is so far away from Boldness.  When we have boldness, no one can keep us down.  No words that are spoken nor actions committed can keep us away from what God has initiately called us to.  To be completely honest, I have had this fear of the opinions of people.  But, when it comes down to it…they aren’t God.  God has called me here to Romania, not my mother, pastor or boyfriend…

In saying this, my desire is to live my life boldly and vunerably, encouraging and challenging you to get your mind thinking of what God’s plans and dreams are for you!

I do want to be vunerable with you and say, I am looking for partners to come alongside the ministry that the Lord is doing here in Romania. By now, I’m sure you know that my income is 100% support raised.   In looking above, I am in need of $9,317 (at least from today) by October 1st of this year.  In breaking this down a little bit, this means I need to raise about $2,300 each month in order to meet all of my expenses for the year.  Please be in prayer about this.  Ultimately, the Lord knows exactly where the funds will come from!

BOLD Questions of the Day: Are you willing to ask the Lord what His plans are for your life? 

Please note that I am in prayer for you all!  Please, share with me your prayer requests, as I want to be continually praying for friends and family back home!  Love you all!
