Update.
As some of you may have realized I am not in Brazil. Nor am I headed there. I know the last you heard from me I was planning to head there very soon if not already.
I am sure as most of you know by now my life is always changing course always taking new truns.. especially as I learn what it looks like to follow Holy Spirit and go where He says go laying down what I think is best for what He thinks is best.
As it got closer to time to start looking at flights for Brazil I felt less and less peace about going in this season... My heart hurt a lot because of this. Brazil will always be like home for me and I know I will go back one day. However, that time is not now.
My time at home has truly been amazing. A little lazy, but so needed down time with family and friends. Reconnecting and focusing in on building my community.
This season has sent me through a roller coaster of emotions because I can feel God changing my heart towards this place, the western bride, and first world nations in general. I was once always so happy to abandon this place for wherever He would send me next. However, my heart has begun to burn in areas I have yet to experience. I know I am headed back out into the world for a new and exciting adventures (and I will get to the details of where later), but I am also, now more so than ever, excited to come back to Tennessee whenever that may be. More and More God has been revealing to me His heart for the people who have everything, but nothing at the same time because they don't have Jesus. I cant wait to see how God will use this in my future.
So what is next?
Well, April 17th - 26th I have been given the opportunity along with other Iris Ministries staff and leaders, to receive healing and training in Andy Millers Heart Sync Ministry (http://www.heartsyncministries.org/what-is-heartsync.html) in Abilene, Texas at the new Iris Base that is starting up there! tThis is an incredible opportunity to learn and grow more into inner healing. I plan to drive there as flights would have been much more expensive.
I return home from Texas on the 26th or 27th of April. I will have just 2 days home to pack everything up before heading to Georgia where I will be staying with family before flying out to go to London.
I will be in London for 2 weeks visiting with my Man friend whom at that point I will not have seen in 6 months (long distance is not easy, but thats another blog).
From London I will be heading straight to Pemba, Mozambique. There I will be Staffing the next Harvest School of Missions. My third consecutive school I will have staffed. I am so excited and honored to have the opportunity to be apart of this incredible family agian!
After the school I have been given the incredible opportunity to co-lead a team to Jordan.
And that my friends is the next 6 months.... You know how this works.... Plans come and go, but God's goodness doesn't change ever! As I am growing more and more in this truth my calling becomes more clear. And my desires more and more line up with His.
If you feel called to support me financially there is a donate button on my blog that is linked to my paypal account.
You can write a check out to me and send it to this address:
1306 Robin Hill Rd Franklin, Tn 37064.
I am sorry I do not have a tax deductible option at this time.
Over all, for flights and Minor living expenses I am in need of about $2,500.00 within the next month and a half.
Most importantly I would love to have a spiritual covering as I go out. My life is often in some of the darkest places in the world Spiritually and physically. I can use all the prayers I can get. If you feel lead to partner me in prayer please email me at Rachaels7@gmail.com
Thank you all so much for how you have blessed me over the years. It is an honor to call you friends and Family!
Much Love,
Rachael Michelle
