Day...maybe.....39?:)


Yikes. I'm so glad you guys can't hurt me through the internet:) I have been a horrible steward of this blog...but honestly there isn't a day goes by that I dont think about writing..it's just that everytime I do..something else comes up!
I'm going to ATTEMPT..note that word...to describe the past month to you.
SO SO SO much has happened. But to start off...
God is faithful. God is our Redeemer. God is our Saviour, He is our King, He is our source of provision, of life, of food, of shelter, of refuge..and of ALL things GOOD!

The past month has proven that, to put it bluntly, I'm not as great, as humble, on top of things as I thought I was...God is purging and purifying me in a way like never before. He is purifying my heart, and He is purging my mind and my thoughts. He is challenging me..to believe in Him and His promises..to trust HIM and His word. To believe that He IS who He says He is...He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is showing me that He is after my heart..He is teaching me that consistency first starts with HIm and then flows into everything. That fellowship starts with my fellowship with Him and then flows into my other relationships.
That when I seek first the KIngdom..all else will be added. That I need not worry, because He is a provider of all good things.
He is teaching me that I must say yes BEFORE He even tells me what to do. That I must be obedient and willing for Him to use me. That I must be open to whatever He has for me, even if it doesn't seem possible. He is teaching me to wait patiently before Him. He is changing my desires. He is changing my heart for the lost, for the saved, for the orphans, for the broken, for the poor, for the hopeless, for the helpless..for the world. He is teaching me humility, and that it is MY choice to make. He is deepening my understand of who He is and who he ever will be. He is showing me the depth of His love and HIs jealousy for not only me, but for all of mankind. That He longs for every human to come into right relationship with Him through His son Jesus Christ.
He is teaching me patience by showing me patience. He is teaching me love, joy, kindness by showing me love, joy, and kindness. He is teaching me compassion on an even greater level than I thought i could ever have. He is showing me that Love is a choice: I must choose to love Him and His people, His creations. He is teaching me that worship is not only music, it is every moment of everyday, presenting myself as a living sacrfice to Him. He is showing me that He does not play Hide and Seek. He asks us to seek Him and His face and His will and His plan for the earth and He will show us all those things.
He is showing me that He is a good Father, that He longs to not just give me the minimum of my needs, but He wants to give me the innermost desire of my heart. He is showing me the importance of this season of singleness. That He is preparing me to be a wife, a mother. He is teaching me servanthood. Servanthood is selfless and if it's not selfless..it's not servanthood! Service is a lifestyle and not just something we do every once in awhile. God is teaching me that I must be faithful in little before He can entrust to me much...so much more..I could litterally go on for paragraph after paragraph....BUt let me update you on the program specifically:
*Mitch is my mentor:)
*BRYAN ROBISON IS BRINGING US ON THE 3 MONTH MISSIONS TRIP to...YAYYYYYYYYYYYY SENOR BRYAN!!!
*SANTIAGO, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC!!!!DOUBLE YAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
* We are now working ON wednesdays tutoring Somali-bantu students!(first day tomorrow)
*Fridays we are working at the Second Harvest Food Bank.
* Saturdays we have started helping out with ESL classes, leading worship, working with kids, and helping teach english! ( I love people..especially foreign ones...so this is one of my favorites:)

I will be sending out support letters within the week(if you would like for me to send you one, shoot me an email at hannahjeter@gmail.com.

Serving the Lord across the world ain't cheap...I need some moolah! $1000 is used for the program while here in the US, and $3,000 will be paying for food, airfare, and board as we stay in the DR.(Dominican Republic; im gonna abbreviate it to "DR" cause it's too long to type out:)
If you can support me financially, I would be so grateful. I know God has called me to this season, and I know He will provide.
Right now I only have $1500. We are at the point now where Mitch and John(the directors) have to put down money for the plane tickets, and for room and board, etc....
the final payments are due as follows:
October 1(a few days ago):$500

Please be praying if you can help partner with and support me financially.

please be praying for our team as well:
*creative ways to earn money
*unity withing our team, learning to love each other, and have compassion on each other.
