Is this me? Is this God? Is this crazy?

“I don't always knew where this life is going. I can't see the end of the road, but here is the great part: Courage is not about knowing the path. It is about taking the first step. It is about Peter getting out of the boat, stepping out onto the water with complete faith that Jesus will not let him drown.”

California, which I miss also

Hey guys and gals, I realize this blog post might be a little last minute or like "what the heck Allie, you are crazy" but just trust me. Tomorrow is July 2. Which isnt just any Tuesday. Tomorrow is orientation and the beginning of a new journey, a 9 month journey where I have to opportunity to be a part of a YWAM secondary school called the SBS (school of biblical studies) where I will get to study through each of the incredible 66 books of the bible 5 times. An inductive approach is taught, in which we observe what the text says and then let it shape my beliefs instead of being told what to believe, let the bible speak for itself. 

Where did this passion come from? 

After having just ONE week taught on the bible in the DTS this quarter, I developed a passion and excitement for the word and wanted to learn more about the bible and the God who created me. I wanted to learn about the original readers, the history, the purpose, I wanted to learn it for myself. SO, the opportunity came and I took it. Full of faith I am stepping out in this and trusting God that this is the right thing.

Also, after DTS I felt strongly called to long-term missions but then I thought how effective would I be being in a different country sharing the gospel and the love of Jesus and my faith if I didn't fully know it. So what better way to know my faith and the where it came from than taking these next 9 months to inductively study all 66 books of the bible. 

{COST}

The school costs $10,000. "Allie, you have no money, you are crazy." Nobody said doing what God calls us to do is easy, how to we have faith in God without stepping out into the place where we cry out, "Jesus I desperately need you." That is where I want to be, I want to wake up every morning thirsty and hungry, crying to Jesus, "I need you" 

Asking for money is always humbling for me, but this is what I feel the Lord is asking me to do. I am looking for people who can partner with me to become a better missionary, by becoming more grounded in his word. Know that when you give it is not only making a difference for me, but it will one day by the knowledge that God gives me during this time will bless the nations of the world. I hope that you will pray about supporting me to get through this school, so that I can be that more effective in missions. 

Here is something to think about, $9.24 {each person gives} --> 1,082 {all my Facebook friends} --> $10,000 {SBS paid in full!} 

Things that are $10 that you could go without once:
-a latte and bagel from Starbucks
-a trip to the movies
-10 things from the dollar store
-a meal at Red Robin
-a good book
-an album on Itunes
-a cheap bottle of wine
