Hello everyone,
I thought this might be a good way to keep you up-to-date on things going on in my life. This is my first attempt at the whole blogging thing, so please be patient with me:) I'm sure it will get easier.
As many of you know, God has called me to serve alongside two families from my home church (Calvary Chapel Thousand Oaks) on the island of Cyprus! Tim & Darlene Mattox serve there with their two girls, along with Brad and Tammy Poteet. I'm really looking forward to serving with these guys!I have been praying for quite a few months about the possibility of going, and the Lord has given me the green light. Cyprus is in the Mediterranean Sea, just south of Turkey.
Currently, I am teaching at Merrill Educational Center in Agoura Hills, and my boss has asked if I would complete a Spanish II course with one of my students. After reviewing the material, it looks like I will probably finish early November (a few months from now). So, Lord willing, I should be heading out in November. Again, it is all in the Lord's timing...it could be sooner or later - I just really want to hear from Him.
The verse that God used to confirm that He wanted me to go is one that I read a few years ago and have been praying about ever since...the pieces are all connecting!
"Sing to the Lord a new song, His praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who live in them." - Isaiah 42:10
I will need your prayers! Please keep me in prayer as I walk through the beginning stages of what it means to move to another country. If you feel the Lord prompting you to support me financially, amen. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, and I know He will provide. I'm not totally sure what it looks like right now, so just please keep that in prayer...I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for visiting this blog...who came up with that word anyway?...blog. Haha. It's funny. More to come soon, I'm sure. Blessings, Love Lindsey
