The YWAM Compassion DTS teams have been announced and released. It's kind of exciting but scary at the same time.
The two teams that the Compassion DTS are being sent to are as follows:
Team A: Toowoomba and Cambodia - 2 weeks in Toowoomba helping with flood relief and setting up the new YWAM base, and 8 weeks in Cambodia.
Team B: Latvia and Russia - 5 weeks in Latvia and 5 weeks in Russia.
This is all the information that has been released to this date, but it is exciting. It is also going to make it harder to be able to define my ambitions and God's desires. I don't think I have ever fully recovered my heart after going to Cambodia the first time, but I only want to go if I am 100% sure that is where God wants me to go. I also drive for the sense of adventure... of exploring new places, and that is where Russia and Latvia have a little bit of a kick in the side as well.
So at this moment, I am putting my thoughts of YWAM off for one week and just digging into God's Word. I want to be on fire for Him first and to have no one but Him as my source of life. So this blog will not be updated for a week, unless there is urgent news and a flame is turned into a bonfire! Until next week, GBUG

Trust Updates
It has been a few weeks since I've posted anything on here and not much has changed. I've slowly been filling out applications for two DTSs - Newcastle's Compassion DTS and Norton Summit's (Adelaide's) Justice and Mercy DTS.
Both of these have me excited, yet nervous. I am leaning more towards the Compassion DTS because deep down, that's the one which feels like God is calling me to. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe I'm reading into things too much; thinking it only because that's what I want to do... But I know God is asking me to trust Him. That is one thing that is becoming more and more clear. Hypoglaecia with three day fecer hospital trip, rent payments, household dilemmas, insecurities, job incidences, transport and cars, and troubles finding obstacles are persuading me to just trust in Lord. No matter how much my mind is screaming for instant help; I know God wants me to trust Him first; to stop going to my friends and family for wisdom; to stop trusting in anyone but God alone.
I am yet to receive any sort of support for the DTS and I have no where near the amount required to be eligible to attend, and my mind knows that. I had a dream a week ago, which seemed so real that I thought it actually happneed. I dreamt that I woke up for a few minutes and saw that I had an email from the Bank of Queensland, stating that $100 had been transferred to my YWAM account. It was that clear, that I even rememberd the name of the donater. But when I awoke, I discovered, whilst talking to a friend, that the dream was a complete lie, and whilst it hurt, I am sure that there is a trust in God lesson there to be learnt also. It will come in some way, for sure, it is all a matter of God's timing and trust. :)
