Hey everyone,

How's life now that the holidays and the new year are fast
approaching???

Gosh, It's been a really long while since I've sent out a HUGE update
and I sincerely ask for your uttermost forgiveness.

I'll give you a quick synopsis of what's been going on these last few
months. I say quick because I'd hate to bore you to tears (not
literally).

So, lets see.. I came home June 28th after dealing with a lot of
craziness. My world pretty much fell apart once I realized that I
wouldn't be going back to the Guesthouse ever for again (or for a very
long time).Last year I left with the expectation of returning and that
was shattered big time. I grieved a lot and went through some debrief
and counseling.

Once returning home I spent awhile just recovering for having a terrible
case of bronchitis and just figuring things out. I was really suffering
in my relationship with God and felt like I had nothing left of me. I
really felt very beaten from Satan and just life in general. It was the
2nd time to be home in 2 years and it diff took some adjustment. Had to
deal with a lot of expectations and some were even false.

In August I took a trip around the East Coast of America or Ameriker
(depending on where you are from in this great big world). It was such a
sweet time to visit with best friends, family, friends like family, and
LG (life Groups) at my former church. I had lot of opportunities to
share what God did, is doing, and will continue to do in and through me.

Once October rolled around I was finally starting to get settled into
the American way when God was like "nope, it's time to get moving
again". So as most of you know I attended a Financial Boot-camp through
an org. called "The Body Builders". It was 2 days jam packed with lots
and lots of very useful tools and tips to help me be fully funded. I
stayed with some friends family and they took such great care of me. For
those 2 days they really blessed me and made me feel like I was one of
theirs. I Love, love, love how the christian really knows how to step up
and help fellow body members.

As soon as I got back from the Boot-camp in Arkansas 4 days later I flew
up to Colorado Springs, Co to visit my friend Jamie. It was a great time
to spend with her while her husband is away on work. She has become such
a good friend of mine and as well her family welcomed me in. By the end
of the 2 weeks we were all sad that I was leaving. All summer I had been
trying to get to Co and just wasn't working out. I didn't have the
finances or god just didn't want me to be there at that time. It worked
out just so that I have the money and the time to make it out there ( I
love how God orchestrates our lives). Needless to say I was able to meet
with heaps of people and really see how "Time heals all wounds". Some of
these people I hadn't seen in over a year and the relationships ended on
a sore note. It was so great to see them again and know that when God is
your main focus he heals those wounds in our lives.

Thank you all so much for your love and support for me.
It's been a joy being a part of your lives and vice verse. I have some
great things happening in my life that I am not quite ready to share
with every one. Some things are still being prayed about and lots of
e-mailing is taking place. Once I know pretty sure what my next steps
are going to look like I'll be sure to tell you.

Much love to you all,
Sarah Wofford
