A Future and a Hope

As many of you know I applied and had interviewed for a YWAM DTS in Milan, Italy. I thought that this is what God was leading me to. So did others that were praying for me. I was excited for this adventure that I was being led to do. It freaked me out- a lot- but I know that God is not always into what our comfort zones are. I had overcome that and decided that if this is what God was calling me to I would do it. However, this last Friday I got and email saying that I was not accepted. That this DTS was not for me and that they feel that God has something else that is more specific to me.

I'm still processing this all. This biggest thing is the question - what do I do now? I have been planning on this since the beginning of the year. I have been praying about it and still have yet to know exactly what I'm going to be doing. Some of the questions going through my mind are:
1. What do I do right now? Do I stay at Perea or move out?
2. If I decide to stay at Perea, how long will that be for?
3. Do I apply to another DTS?

I know that God has a plan for me in this next year. I may not understand why this has happened but I can trust that God has something amazing for me. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13

So, what I am asking you to do is to pray for me. Pray that I receive direction and follow what God has best for me- that I won't settle for anything less than that. I want that for my life and I hope that you would want that for me too.
