Hey, everyone! How are you?
During this season with COVID-19, God has been working on me–spirit, soul and body. I have written a lot about several of my processes in previous posts, but now I would like to share more about my future. God has been giving me words, dreams and visions. Specifically, these have to do with the rest of 2020, as well as a little or a lot of 2021.
I want to share this with you. Why? My hope is that you will partner with me in prayer, because this is a lot. If you feel led to give financially or sponsor me with supplies, that’s great, too. My biggest desire, however, is that if there are people here who don’t have ideas for what they want to do with their lives for the future… Well, I desire to inspire you.
As most of you know, I am attending a School of Missions at The Mission. This is Tijuana, Mexico. We work a lot with understanding God’s heart, our identities and how to build community. We also do a lot of outreach and ministry work.
This place has a special home in my heart. It is home. There have been many highs and lows throughout this season, but I have learned so much and come far in my experiences with relying completely on God. Sometimes it was easier than others.
In several points throughout the months of living there, I was completely out of money–but never out of Jesus. When I asked for food, He provided. When I asked for rest, He provided. When I asked for healing (both in the heart and the body), He provided. Even coming back to Pennsylvania and being isolated with God, He provided comfort, learning, perspective, and joy. It’s been so good.
Through this, however, I really fell in love with Rancho. I have been praying, talking with my family and working as best as I can. With pleasure I can say that I believe I am ready to take on a second year with The Mission.
Honestly, I didn’t think I was going to do a second year. Part of me didn’t want to for most of the break during COVID-19. But as I moved throughout this season I have felt a change of heart and mind. I’m excited!
My heart is with Rancho right now–the leadership, the ministries, the kids… all of it. I know that is where my future is for a least another year. Ahead of that we will see what happens.
But this is not the only thing God has set on my heart. I don’t share this with people, but I love to write–specifically creatively. And I’m good at it (when I actually do rough drafts, editing and final copies. I don’t do it with this blog, haha). It has been a long time since I last wrote something creative, but now I feel like I’m being led to do it again–possibly even write a book.
Even just a few years ago I had a dream to become a writer. I used to submit writing on publishing pages, and my stories received tens of thousands of views. Along with that, another account of mine had thousands of followers who continually read what I wrote. God’s calling me to write. It’s exciting!
This in mind, I will keep the details on the downlow. But I would be happy to answer any questions about the book if you have them–including the writing process and such. I never thought I would be a writer until a few years ago. Even then I didn’t think I was any good. But that perspective has changed for sure.
With Rancho and this, it’s going to be a lot of juggle. But I am excited! God has been working on my heart–a lot. But with the work He has put into me, with everything going on and walking in paths of forgiveness, peace and faith, I know good fruit is coming. Everything comes together.
I will ask for you to join me. Of course, I will still be blogging. I am going to write more posts, share more pictures (and maybe even videos) about my life in Mexico. Again, if you feel like sponsoring in any way, shape or form, let me know (my contact information is in the about section of the blog).
If you do not feel led to give financially (or with physical products), that’s completely fine! Do not feel pressured. If you would like to join in prayer, I know that it is more than sufficient–it is more needed than money, honestly. I have specific prayer requests (or if you want to share prophetic words, I love those so much), so again you can contact me.
To everyone who has been reading this, I also want to thank you. I may not know you, or honestly I may not talk with you a lot. It means a lot to me, however, that you are joining me in my process, and I know I am not the only one going to read or write these words. You are all truly amazing.
With regards,
Julia
