Arriving to Montana....My flight here wasn't too eventful.. people were really nice and made lots of eye contact. I like that. I slept most my way here, I was struggling to not start crying each time i woke up, so i got up to use the restroom in the back of the cabin. The flight attendant asked if he could get me a drink. So as he poured me a cup of coffee we got to talking about where I was headed. Pottersfield Ranch Montana! He was so thrilled and exactly the encouragement I needed, I love how God works. We continued to talk about where we are from and the churches we attend. He had a kind and gentle spirit.
I had such mixed feelings about leaving home and living here in Montana. To me, it still seems surreal. I miss home.We haven't started classes yet or serving, everything starts on Tuesday. Tomorrow is our orientation, I'm a little bit nervous for it. It's very different here.. But a good different.. I'm a little culture shocked. But I'm excited to see what God has in store because, as of now, it feels impossible to last the next four months without His strength completely holding me together. I live with two very sweet girls in a room. I got the top bunk, so that's exciting. I get to put my glow in the dark stars on the sealing, praise Jesus :) I caught a throat cold the day I arrived, so my voice is gone and my throat has been on fire. I've been so exhausted, practically falling asleep anywhere I take a seat.
Last night and this morning (Sunday church) we helped out at Calvary Flathead. Playing with kids and breaking down everything. It's a thrill to be a servant for Jesus.
So, my first day here in Montana has been great, minus my cold and exhaustion. We currently have Internet in our rooms which isn't normal I guess and they are going it fix it soon. So I will do my best in keeping this blog updated and share what God is doing :)
prayer in the plane-
"Lord Jesus Christ, You are my forever love. All that I have, I owe to you...Your creation screams how vast and out of mind you are. I'm sitting in the plane's cabin staring out the window, we're soaring above the clouds. You created these clouds, they are beauty. More beautiful than I remembered. I'm amazed by You! You created the clouds! Nothing in this world can ever separate us! You are my father, my heart, my creator, my everything! ...The heavens are Your creation. You are out of mind. Jesus, You are alive! What a happy day this is. I am Yours, Jesus, my Father, my Love, my Friend.
Use my Lord, use me..Guide me Jesus, guide me... Teach me, correct me, mold and shape my heart, fulfill me and overflow me. You be the potter, I'll be the clay. Hosanna in the highest. Be my Jesus Most High. King of kings. Lord of my life, my heart, my mind, let my members praise your name. I surrender to you this day, Sept 18 that you my God, my love, my best friend, will keep me focused. Keep me convicted and corrected and following you Jesus, my love, my savior. Give me guidance. I move when you move. I love you. I thank you savior. Please keep saving me.
Love, your daughter. Amen"
Brittany. I love you. You are amazing. You are everything I could ever ask for in a best friend. I love how Jesus shines through you. He truly IS working through you and using you as His tool here on this place called Earth. I am praying for you. I want you to know that I miss you like heck! However, you know that I am going to be waiting at home for you for our traditional Christmas dance<3
ReplyDeleteMy prayer for you...
Jesus, my Savior. Thank you. You have blessed me in so many ways. But most importantly, you have blessed me by surrounding me with wonderful, beautiful, kind, genuine, caring people. Thank you for giving me Brittany. Thank you for strategically placing her in my life. I ask that You take Brittany and You use her. I pray that You guide her step by step through this new chapter in her life. She is stepping into the unknown for You, Jesus. She trusts You and has put all her hope in You. Lord, make clear her path. Give her the strength to get through these next 4 months, away from her family and friends. Please Lord, grant her the courage to do everything in her power to honor You. I also ask that you keep her safe, Lord. Do not let her heart be troubled with saddness. Let Your love and Your light shine through her. Thank you, Lord. I love You. Amen.
Hi Brittany. I didn't realize you were going to PFR. Remember, Tyler's living up there so make sure you get to see him while you are there the next four months. He works at Starbucks in Kalispell so perhaps you'll see him there sometime. Hopefully you can also make it to Fresh Life Church or Skull Church - you'd love it. Absolutely loved your prayer ... what a sweet spirit you have. God bless you during your time there. You'll absolutely love Montana!!
ReplyDeleteOh, my friend! Praise the Lord!! How great is our God who directs our paths! He has you under His wing, and He knows every moment, every step, and every thought you will have.
ReplyDeleteLast night I had my bible study, and it was on the power and privilege of prayer. So I want to encourage you. Talk to Jesus in every moment, every step, and every thought. We are so blessed. We have a direct line to our Father, anytime we want! Incredible!!
I love you my sweet friend. You are in my prayers, and I can't wait to hear how the Lord is going to work in you.
