Hello my peoples! I hope you had a wonderful week. Things are settling down for me and I am ready to share with you God's work in my life.
I've had some large changes in my plans in the last week and a half. It is so wonderful!
I quit school.
Yes, and I feel the will of God drawing me into missions overseas.
And I am so excited!
It was an intense weekend. I felt the presence of God in an indescribable way. It was one of those times where you know God has touched your spirit and you are changed, one of those times that you look to in memory for encouragement when life becomes a true exercise of faith and it is not so easy to see him. For truly, I saw God (though I didn't see Him); felt His pleasure (though not with human senses or emotions); and knew God's mind for me, however limited my knowledge. It was worth a million human delights. A google of them.
So now I am home for a period of time: I am in a stage of preparation. I am spending time in the Word, with my family, and pursuing avenues for missions work. I am getting a passport and looking for the right organization. I am waiting on God and praising Him. It may be awhile before anything measurable happens toward realizing my (God's!) dreams. That's OK.
I am so thankful for my family, my home, and a chance to live here once more.
And I am also very thankful for my Jesus, My King, and the precious ways He deals with me. For His laughter and His spontaneity, His love.
Jesus, YOU SO FLY!

About Me
- Millie
- My grandparents met and were married here on the prairies where my great grandfather became the first rancher to own electricity and telephone in our county. He kept cattle and she kept the house (dirt floor) and the children (7). Three generations later I am creating artwork inspired by this heritage and using the skills my grandmother taught me when I learned to knit at age seven. This blog is my space to reflect on the processes of creativity and explore how our roots intersect with a modern life.

But as for me, my prayer is to you
O LORD.
At an acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast
love, answer me in your saving
faithfulness.

WOW! What an adventure. I have a friend who works with YFC in Colorado while she goes to seminary. Maybe she can help? Check out her blog at rebeccaromaneski.blogspot.com. She is a cool girl, and I know your adventure would be exciting to her as well as she also has a real heart for missions. This is so cool. I am excited for you. Meg
