My beautiful family & friends,

Life in Kona has been such a blessing. Each week I never know what God has in store, and he always surprises me with something new. I have been learning a lot of valuable information from the speakers every week, but God has been meeting me in ways I've never experienced before. His love is so big. He has called me to this season in my life so that I can focus on him and prepare my heart for the plan he has for me. I'm not sure what God is calling me to yet, but I don't need to worry about that. He has the best intentions for me and I need to rest in that. He wants my eyes this season, and need to find complete peace in just running after his heart.

Dance has been a huge subject that continues to be brought up. I believe God is calling my past passions and encouraging me to step back into them. Dancing and playing the cello have been two hobbies I used to love. Ever since college I have stopped pursing any past hobbies. Since I've been on my DTS, God has been placing people in my life who have been speaking to me about dance and has been giving visions to others about me pursuing more. I am going to try and get back into my previous passions and instead of fearing man, I am going to dance for the Lord and use it as a way of worship. He has uniquely made me and every single person exactly how he intended. We are unique and not to be compared. He has set passions in our hearts. When we desire something and use it for the positive, God sees those desires and gives them to us. He knows our hearts and loves to see his children's passions lived out.

Another thing that has been on my heart is the sex trafficking industry. Considering I am going to Thailand in a month (December 13) I have been researching more about the industry & watched a movie called "Human Trafficking." It's such a demand in our world because of the simple decisions we make daily. This generation needs to stand up for purity and not settle for anything less because our 'enjoyment' leads to someone else's slavery. The demand for pornography leads to desires that end up causing people to not settle for anything less than the physical desire which leads to the demand of young girls & children being tricked into this sex slavery. It is disgusting because this is reality. It's our simple daily decisions that effect others and our choice to live simply so that others simply may live. I desire for God to give me the heaviness of his heart. I want to feel the burden he feels when he looks at his children and pains for them. This will cause us to move to action.

Please be praying for my Thailand team as we prepare for this mission God has called us to. Please pray for these young women and children, pray for the brothel owners, for the men who support this business. Pray for their hearts and that our God, our transformational God, will heal their hearts and have Holy Spirit consume them and bring them to know Jesus.
