The package is a lite one, seven simple pages describing the plans for the next two years of life. On the one hand it gives me a lot of peace to have something planned for the next two years of my life on paper. On the other hand, I am having to count the cost once again of what it means to leave everything behind for what I think the Lord is telling me to do.
God has truly blessed me with life here in YWAM Maui, I have friends,family, spheres of influence, seniority in our little microcosm of people - an entire group of people that love me and care for me. But the pinnacle has been the relationship with Him - Jesus. I have encountered Him, learned more about Him, been through time of weeping and times of joy with Him here. I did this all at His call to follow him. And I want to be with Him where He is and I want to go with Him where He goes. So the time is coming to move on.
I will probably take some time in the next few months to reflect back on over four years of journeying with the Lord but for now this post is for a prayer request.
My first two years comes to a total of $48,000 for everything. This price pays for room, board, and all school expenses. And as I write this to you I have $260 saved for it. In my heart I fear that I will believe the lies of satan that say, "This is impossible." And as I sit and wait on the Lord for the truth, He says,
"For grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9
He has already done the impossible, He saved me.....
God is the God of the impossible. It is His gift. So please be praying for my finances.

Hey there! I've been accepted to Rivendell as well, thank you for your post, it's an encouragement to me! I too am having a hard time coming up with the finances to attend RS and I just wanted to let you know that I've been praying for you (for the student body as a whole) that the Lord would provide for all of us. His way is perfect!
