It's the Final Countdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 day till Spain!

I am FULLY funded!!! I cannot wait to share the amazing story how that happened. God is so good! I cannot believe that I leave for Spain in tomorrow! I am beyond excited mixed with a little nervousness. It has been a long and stressful week this week trying to prepare for the trip and still teach. I've had to make lots of trips to the stores and I am swimming in plastic baggies! I have been preparing for this trip for several months now. There has been lots of prayer, learning, testing, and patience that has been required. I have had to get shots, raise funds, buy necessary clothes and random items, rehearse, and figure out costumes. It is definitely a process- a process of deepening my faith and expanding my comfort zone.




Here is a glimpse of the result of hours of packing! I hope I can carry all of this...




Here is a glimpse of two new pieces that were choreographed specifically for Spain. This is just a tiny snapshot of all the preparation behind a trip like this.

"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." ~Isaiah 40:20-31

"Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’” ~Ezekiel 37:4-6

"Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many." ~1 Corinthians 12-14

"Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you." ~Luke 10:19

"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.' Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.'" ~Psalm 91:1-4 



Here is a picture of the other Ad Deum II dancers that I will be dancing with in Spain!

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,"~Mark 16:15

"Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.'" ~Matthew 28:18-20



Some are called to go and some are called to send. I'm asking you to PLEASE commit to praying for me and this entire team going on this trip and all of the people that we will be coming in contact with in Spain and Morocco. Hearts are hungry for the gospel and searching for truth. I am so excited to have the opportunity to share what Jesus has done for me in my life through dancing, sharing my testimony, and loving on people like Jesus would. There has already been a lot of spiritual attack that the entire team has experienced on personal levels. We all know that God has appointed us to go for a special mission. Please be praying for smooth travelling with no complications, healthy bodies and stamina for us dancers, boldness to share our faith, unity as a team, revelation from God, open hearts ready to receive the gospel, and peace during the entire trip. I cannot do this without you! Your support and prayers are an integral part of my journey. You are a part of whatever God is going to do on this trip. I cannot wait to share testimonies, stories, pictures, and videos of my travels! I already have so many testimonies of what God has done these past few months. I hope to keep sharing one by one. Blessings and love!
