DTS 2011

Here is a wrap up of the last six months of DTS. Enjoy! 

Home

I made it home! It was crazy how quick all my flying went! I couldn't believe it almost. I had no lay over in sydney and literally walk through the airport and got on my next flight.

I have been home almost a week, which I don't like to think about because that means that time is flying by. I have been so excited about this trip and even being here everyday I just get joy from being home and hearing God speak about friends, family, and things to do here. I think last year when I came home it was right after my BAS school, which was a really intense school, and I thought coming home would be such a relief. It wasn't, in fact I think I was under more spiritual attack at home than I had been during my BAS. It was crazy and made me exhausted, but I had such good support from people here. They really held me up, when I felt like falling. This year coming home has been such an opposite feeling. I feel like I can be the one holding people up, and encouraging them. So I am eagerly meeting with people, and ready to be used to encourage.

I have spent the last week in lubbock and am headed off soon. I will be traveling up to angelo to speak at my church, then off to san antonio for nothing but fun! An unexpected little holiday travel with my mom. We are going off to spend a few days together hanging out in the blistering heat of san antonio!

I can't believe how fast a year went by. It doesn't even seem like a year since I have been home, and here I am again catching up with old friends. I still haven't seen half the people I want to, but the time will come. I will be camping out in san angelo in a few weeks!
I do love and miss cheap American shopping, star bucks, and mexican food. I am not over doing it but am definitely enjoying. =)

You are blessed to be a blessing.

God's timing...

Well I have just finished a four day weekend and now it is time to go back to work! I had a few days off at the end of last week and it was such a time of rest, relaxing, and letting God speak. While I was taking to my sister in law on skype, God started putting ideas in my head about going home. It was so funny because I hadn't planned to go home until November but God had a different plan and I've come to learn that His is always best. So after a whirled wind of praying, talking to my leader, and then getting approval, I started planning to come home!
I will be flying in this weekend on the 9th! I am so excited! There are so many little details that are coming together and I can tell that this is the perfect time. My older brother will be graduating with his masters from  university and some other little secret family things will be happening (ugh mom turns 50!!)
I am now in a frenzy getting ready to leave this home and go to another. I am planning to spend a lot of time traveling back and forth from Lubbock to San Angelo, so please let me know if you live in either of those places when we can meet up! I want to see every one I know!
In the midst of getting ready to come home I have been fearlessly working on some homework from a class I am taking here. I told myself I wasn't allowed to do any preparing for home until my homework was done. That lasted most of the weekend but I finally broke! I  am so excited the planning for home is much more fun to do than the homework! Oh but the homework needs to be done before thursday when I get ready to leave! I hate being a procrastinator! =)
I'll write more soon! Praying for safe and quick travel home! Join with me in that!

You are blessed to be a blessing.
