Hi friends! It's been awhile since I wrote a blog! Since I got off the race I've been at home nannying, serving at my church, spending time with friends & family. Being back at home hasn't been the easiest for me, adjusting to "normal" life in the states has been hard. The busyness of it all can be overwhelming. The Lord has been reminding me a lot recently of His faithfulness & consistency through every season. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it! (1 Thessalonians 5:24). He is faithful yesterday, today and forevermore. I know that in the brokenness & heartache He sees me and desires my heart. Thanking Jesus for the provider, comforter and friend that He is!

 In July, my squad and I had our PSL (project search light) which is basically a time for reflecting on the past season, catching up on how life is off the mission field, worshipping, hearing about opportunities of things we could do next! One of the days I was told about CGA (center for global action) I didn't really know what it was at the time but the Lord kept bringing it up in my heart. I prayed if this was what He wanted for me next that He would open the door. A few months later I applied, had my interview and was accepted. The lord made it so clear to me this was my next step.

CGA is a 5 month long discipleship school where we learn how to effectively lead ourselves and others into our identity in Christ. We will learn how to be good stewards of the things Jesus has given us, walk in confidence in sharing the gospel with people wether that be overseas or in the states, and lead people into the fullness & freedom that is found in Jesus! In January I get to move back to Georgia where I will be living in community housing, having classes everyday and working. I am really excited for the things this next season will hold and ask if you would partner me as i start to fundraise? I will need to fundraise $6,000 which will cover housing, supplies etc. I know that God will provide and I trust in His faithfulness. There will be a link in my bio soon where you can donate, you can also send money via venmo, (lydiaallenn) check, cash or support me through buying a shirt or sweatshirt! If you can't financially support me, you can support me by joining me in prayer over fundraising and my heart as I step into this next season!
