Its July??!!!!

I hope you all are having a great summer. I've been living out of a suitcase....literally! It seems summer is flying by and my departure day will be here all too soon. Though I am very excited about this next step in following God's will for my life, I'll admit I'm a bit nervous too!

A couple of very dear and precious friends I was reunited with at SOAR 2010!

SOAR 2010 was this past week and I was able to attend with the youth from my home church, Bethel in Fulton, MS. It was an amazing week and kind of surreal as I stood at the missions table before and after every session as the newly elected BMAA Missionary selling the awesome tees that Rebekah designed. The theme for SOAR this year was "Disciple" and how we have to let go of our nets and follow Him.

As I begin the letting go process I wanted to give you a few prayer requests:

* my family...lift them up whenever you think about them, though they could not be anymore supportive, its still a huge adjustment.

* my church family

* the hearts of those I will be going to minister to

* my physical health and energy level as I try to finish up all that needs doing

* the other missionaries that will be leaving soon, as well

* that God will provide financially for every need that arises (and He is already blessing and proving Hisself faithful in big ways here!)

* for me to remain focused on my calling and God would provide the grace and strength for each new day

* for the boxes of my things being shipped over to arrive safely and all together! :)

* for God to just pour down mercy on those days I feel completely overwhelmed by it all.

Thank you so much for supporting me as I follow God's plan for my life. I do not know what all He has in store, what blessings or trials may await, but I do know that He is already there. He's holding every piece of the puzzle of my life's journey and I trust Him.

He loved. He came. He served. He died. He rose again. He reigns.

I must go. I must tell. I must love.

This is my reasonable service.

Getting things in order...

Hey folks! This is actually Toya Aultman, I have set up this blog for Sarah and ocassionaly we will get the privilege of her postings, but she is a busy lady these days!

As many of you know she will be flying out to the Philippines near the end of August and has many things to take care of before she goes. She was in Conway this weekend to speak at a GMA Coronation at Oak Park Baptist Church in Little Rock and then we had an awesome meeting with a consultant this morning that gave us some ideas on how we can help her.

.

She is on her way home to Mississippi right now to spend some awesome quality time with her family

If you have ordered one of the t-shirts that we were selling to help in her support, those are in and if you have not paid, they are $15. We do have extras, so if you didn't order one and want one, order it quick...they're going fast! Also, if you would like to help financially in any other ways, please let us know! We can get you set up with the right folks! She has to raise all of her own funds this first year and then past that will have to supply all of her work funds, so please be in prayer as to ways you can help her!

Sarah has a busy summer ahead of her with much to do still so I would like to give you a few prayer requests:
*pray for her as she travels to the many camps, retreats, training sessions, speaking engagements, etc this summer
*pray for God to pour down an unbelieveable amount of calmness and peace on her and take away every feeling of being overwhelmed
*pray for wisdom in the many decisions she has to make on a daily basis
*pray that God would place the right people in her path that are willing to support her in prayers, but also in finances
*pray for her family has they prepare their own hearts and minds to let her go, ask God to pour His grace down on them and they can see His faithfulness in every turn
*and begin praying now for the people in the Philippines that she will meet, build relations with and minister to. Anyone who knows Sarah's heart, knows this is her calling. She loves people and loves to serve and does it all with an unbelieveable heart of love and humility. The Philippines better get ready, cause their world is about to be turned upside down by this young lady!!!
