Returning Home For A Season

 YWAM Oxford Family (2013)

It is time to say goodbye to my home and family here at YWAM Oxford.  God is calling me home to Texas to be with my family and serve in the mission field back home for a season. Over the past several months God has been showing me that this next season is a time to be back home in Texas investing in the lives of my children and grandchildren and walking alongside them through life's ups and downs, supporting and encouraging them, and sharing the Father's Love with them and my community back home.  

During the past few weeks I have been preparing to leave New Zealand and my work and ministry here with YWAM Oxford. I've been visiting some of my favorite places and saying farewell, or as us YWAMers say.... "see you later" to these places and dear friends. 

                                                            Visit to Waikuku Beach

Visit to New Brighton Beach with my dear friend Karen

The past two and a half years have been an amazing journey into the Father's heart and the call He has on my life to serve Him in missions. I have discovered who I am in HIS eyes, the gifts He's given me, and the passion He's put in my heart to serve and bless others as I've served in the hospitality ministry with YWAM Oxford. I am so grateful for all God has taught me here and for all the wonderful experiences and adventures He has taken me on here in New Zealand and on outreach in The Cook Islands and Africa. I have been SO blessed to have the privilege and opportunity to reflect the love of Christ and be a blessing to others in these amazing countries! 
I look forward to many more overseas missions opportunities and adventures in the future.

 AND... New Zealand one day!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to take care of you, not to abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for."

~Jeremiah 29:11~

I'm trusting in God's goodness & faithfulness and His plans for me during the next part of this incredible Journey with Him!
