Hit the ground running...
Forgot about the dreaded JETLAG!
Itineration began April 7th in Hyannis.
  
Snug on the plane/Meeting Place/Hyannis
I flew away from my home in the Netherlands on April 2nd, and planned on hitting the ground running. I forgot 2 things. 1. I am older than I was the last time I did this. and 2. Jetlag stinks! And 3. I learned something new....DOG'S GET JETLAG TOO! Oh Mylanta! I didn't sleep a full night until April 8th which was AFTER my first service. BAHAHAHAHA! But God has been good to me and has filled this month with some great services and times of fellowship, fantastic meetings, time with friends and family. I am blessed in the midst of it all.
I am grateful to the Southern New England Ministry Network for having a vehicle I can use while I am itinerating. For Partners who came alongside me financially so I can pay for the mileage fees (Jon and Angela you rock!), For my partners who have had me in so far, Pastor Steve Hawley and Faith AG in Hyannis, MA, Pastor Chuck Vanness and Pioneer Valley AG in Huntington, MA, Pastor Dan Lewiston and Pastor J. Lillie at Cornerstone AG in Winchendon letting me kick with a tasty groove on Easter with the worship band and choir, and Pastor Daniel Condon Sr. and Meeting Place Church in Framingham, MA! It was an amazing first month of Itineration ministry here in the USA. And while I miss being in the Netherlands, being able to hang out with my partner churches and family has made all the difference.
I was even able to submit my photos into the CCADA art show, and Willem the Pig won Best in Show!
Now that's SOME PIG!
  
My room at home/ Best in Show/ and What I want to do
I head to Living Word Church in Worcester this coming Sunday and then I am doing my first big drive down to West Virginia for the first of my 4 District Councils in the month of May! It is going to be a blessed and busy month.

VERLOREN
(Lost)
Our premiere performances were incredible power filled nights of ministry!
We are looking for churches in the Netherlands who would like to have us in.

The work continues even while I am gone.

Our next step...
We are excited to get things going when I return to the Netherlands! We are praying for a location, for teachers, administrators, and artists to come alongside us. We also need the funds to come in during itineration as quickly as possible so I can return and we can begin this new work!
AMEN. |

Crazy Wonderful Blessings...
2 Corinthians 9:8
8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
Have you ever looked around you at the faces and people who fill up the spaces in your life? I have. I am surrounded daily, by crazy, wonderful, creative, passionate people! God has filled my life to the full with them and I am blessed daily because of it. My job calls me to go back and forth and so I leave one group of crazy blessings to embrace an entirely new group! On one hand it is always hard to leave, and on the other, it is always fun arriving! The amount of love and family and friendship God has poured into my life is sometimes overwhelming for this single lady; but I have never felt alone on my journey. How amazing is that?! This missionary life is hard but fun, crazy yet wonderful! And truthfully for the most part~ It ROCKS DUDE!
  
I am amazed how, since the beginning fo this journey, He has met every prayer need, and every desire of my heart. During my last Itineration I was stressed out all the time. Worried about not having enough services, not raising my budget, not making my budget in the alloted time. God made a way where there seemed to be none. Then when it was time he provided someone to buy my car, and for a beautiful farm for me to live on in the Netherlands! Coming home this time, I am determined to trust more and worry less. I will call whom leads me to call, go where He leads me to go, walk through ever door He opens. And I know He will make a way. I will have everthing I need, and be able to ABOUND IN EVERY GOOD WORK!
The good news...is I am not special.
This same abundance of blessing can be yours...
All you need do is ask.
He loves and cares for you.
He has made a way for you.
~
That is the amazing God I serve!
He loves you!
  
Live to be a Blessing!
