School and Prayer...Preparation

I have now been accepted to GIAL, the school where I will be receiving my training in linguistics, so that I will be able to translate well! I just got the email last Thursday, and it was so exciting! Things are really coming together, and it is all the result of faith and prayer.

I thought I might share my prayer with you all so that you can pray with me for these things. I want this new era of my ministry to be fully bathed in the Spirit, so in light of that, I took the five days of spring break and prayed for these things each day in preparation for that.

The nations
My future
My own faith
Wisdom
Direction
The people group with which I will be working
The team with which I will be working
Humility
For God to build in me the skills I will need
Wycliffe's work on the whole
For working technology
A positive attitude
To be a light
Good health
Cultural Sensitivity
Perseverance
Spiritual strength
Provision
Blessings for my future financial and prayer supporters
Revelation 7:9 - for every tribe, tongue, and nation
Love
Safety
Self-control
His Word to go out
Open hearts to the Gospel
Contentment
A grateful heart

" ²⁰ Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, ²¹ equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." Hebrews 13:20-21

Acceptance!

...mostly. :)

I've been "approved as a candidate for Wycliffe Bible Translators." Basically, I'm in the limbo period of membership where I'm eligible for scholarships, but not really anything else until I go through training. But this is the letter I've been waiting for and praying for. It means I'm good to go! Thank you for all the prayers thus far! God has not held back His blessings!
