Dear Friend,
Greetings from the land of Sweden. The purpose of this letter is to inform you about my recent endeavors. First of all I would like to apologize for not writing in the past months. I was caught in the life of a busy college student writing research papers. As I had promised before, if you wish to read my paper about Pornography as an Addiction, send me an email or write me on Facebook.

| My classmates and my staff for the past 3 months |
My life has turned around
completely. My future sounded splendid. I wanted to be Stephanie, the cool
person that is a photographer and makes awesome videos. However, being in
Sweden has helped me understand myself. More than learning about myself, I have
come to see a clearer picture of who I actually am rather than who I would like
to be. I guess God does that to you, He shows you, you. He knew all along that
I wasn't really gifted in video or photography. Of course I can develop these
abilities, but that would separate me of the gifts God actually gave me.
What I want to tell you is that I have decided to no longer pursue a degree in Communications with YWAM. I knew it all along that I had chosen this path to tell myself that I do have a specific direction in life. I tried to take control of my life again after I had promised God to let him lead me. During this time in Sweden He has revealed two gifts that he has given me, leadership and singing worship. He wants me to deal with the one I am more insecure about, worship.
I have always loved to sing, I enjoy it so much. When I first started to follow Jesus, worship was my favorite part of it all. I have always compared myself to others who always get chosen to sing worship, and who I think have more to offer than I do. Deep inside, I have always wanted to lead a worship time. I became very good at pushing that dream aside, even after some people said they liked my voice. In the past year God has been asking me to take courage and sing. I have ignored this about three times, until last week where God mentioned it again through a friend I had recently met. I finally got the point, God wants me to learn about worship.
I have decided to take the School of Worship here in Sweden in April. Which means I have three months where I have nothing to do. I have prayed about it and for the moment I feel God wants me to stay as short term staff during that time. He wants me to learn from the leaders here. I have had friends pray over me and through them God has confirmed that He wants me to stay. To do this I need monthly supporters. People who are willing to help me follow the new path God has set for me. In order to stay I need 400 american dollars a month. This could be two people who support me with 200 dollars a month, four people who support me with 100 dollars a month or even small monthly donations would work. To stay I need to prove to the leaders that I have friends who are committed to sending this money to me, monthly. I ask you to please pray about this, ask God if He wants you to bless me. I can assure you it will be a blessing for you as well.
There is a long beautiful story to how I have come to all of these conclusions about my life. I invite you to ask me about how God revealed this to me. There are SO many things, and it all happened in less than a week. I am truly amazed on how much he really knows me. Please pray for me since I am still insecure about worship, but I am taking this step because God has spoken and I want to obey.
with love,
Stephanie
