7// The end of an era..?

So today was the last day of our DTS lecture phase! I can't believe it's over! I'm sitting at the last Open Mic Night our DTS is gonna be able to be a part of before we leave for outreach! This section of my trip has gone by SO fast.

On Monday morning we leave for 5 DE up in The Gold Coast, an area about 10 hours north. We'll be in Koonjawarre for 5 days. Then we will be back on the base for about 5 days before we leave for outreach to Papua New Guinea on October 6th!

In the meantime, with that date being only 12 days away, I still am in need of about $1,100..I know that God will continue to provide, and this has been an awesome test in trusting Him. But I would just like to ask that you could all pray about any way that you might feel God is leading you to support me. I appreciate your prayers and support sooo much! Thank you for everything you have all done for me so far already.

Lots of love to you all!
I will update some more soon!

God Bless,
Christy(:

6// I'm Sorry!!!

Alright, alright, alright..I am the world's worst blogger.

I honestly thought I would have more time than this during the weeks and weekends, but I hardly have time to do homework and skype with friends and family, let alone keep this up. Bahh!

So I promise that I will post a more comprehensive update later, but for now I figure that this will have to do--as it's almost dinner time. (: So these past two months have been incredibly challenging. I have been tested and tried and grown by God so much in these past weeks and have been through things I never would have expected with God. It's been amazing and incredibly hard at the same time. It's crazy now to look at where I was before coming here and where I am now; I thought I knew so much, but it makes me laugh now that I realize just how little I really know about God. But I'm learning heaps more! And that's what's so fully rad.

Also I figure it might interest you to know where I'm going for my outreach..am I right? Thought so.

So we just found out that we are going to be split into three different teams. One team is going to Melbourne, Australia and Taumranui, New Zealand, while the other two teams are going to different parts of Papua New Guinea (Port Moresby and Mount Hagen). I am going on one of the teams headed to PNG!

So I was wondering if you could all partner with me in prayer? My teammates are Ashley, Taelyn, Cheyenne, Talea, Courtenay, and Johno. If you could be praying for all of us that would be rad as! Also if you could be praying for my funding to come through, that would be amazing! We need approximately $3,500 for our outreach fees. I find out sometime this week how much more I need to raise, so I will update this post then. We are looking at our departure date being the 3rd of October, so it's coming up fast!

Anyway, I gotta run for dinner..or I won't get a seat! Also I have a Words With Friends match to play with one of my friends. (;

God bless you guys!
