Airports, Airplanes and Flying...Oh My!





Because ya'll are curious when I will be home, I thought I would send this out to let you know! I will probably put it in my update for February as well, but I thought I would post it before then to answer your questions. Because I don't know what my internet will be like after today.

I will be flying out of Budapest, Hungary Airport on the morning of February 24th. I will fly to London, then Chicago then home to Orange County. I was totally blessed to find a good deal on my ticket and it was actually cheaper for me to fly out of Hungary and into Orange County, than to fly out of Bucharest and into LA. All of which was totally the Lord and has allowed me the time to visit friends and ministries in Timisoara and Oradea (only 3.5 hours from Budapest).

I will be home from Feb 24th - April 27th. During March I am totally blessed to be able to work for a few weeks at my sending church Calvary Chapel WestGrove. Which is awesome, this will help me pay for my plane ticket and provide me with some spending money, as well as money for my bank account for the future! I will also be house sitting for a few weeks for some friends which is another HUGE blessing!

It has been over a year since I have been home, and so it will be good for me to have some time with my family and friends. I hope to see all of you in Cali while I am home. My priority is my family, especially my parents. But I look forward to seeing as many people as I can. This time period allows me to have time with my family over Easter and my Dad's Birthday, my Sister's Bday and my parent's wedding anniversary. As well as to be home for March which is Mission's Month at Calvary WestGrove.

I will be flying back out of Orange County on the 27th of April to return to Romania.

There are many opportunities open before me right now. Both in and out of Romania. I ask that you join me in prayer while I am home that the Lord will lead me and guide me and direct me as He always has been so faithful to do. That He will show me His will and plan for my future. I want more than anything to be in the center of His will. I will keep you all up to date while I am home with my monthly email updates and will post them on my blog and facebook.

See you all soon!

Grace and Peace
Rachel

Soar






"God is looking for those who will be His, not just workers. Christianity is full of workers—but He doesn’t easily find individuals who have given up every right to run their own lives and be completely His...

This journey is not about rules and regulations and directives. It is a sense of living with another world on the inside of us. It is then that we can truly soar above the weight of this world. Will you join me on this journey?"

God Wants to Work Through You!







"Unbelief says: Some other time, but not now; some other place, but not here; some other people, but not us. Faith says: Anything He did anywhere else He will do here; anything He did any other time He is willing to do now; anything He ever did for other people He is willing to do for us! With our feet on the ground, and our head cool, but with our heart ablaze with the love of God, we walk out in this fullness of the Spirit, if we will yield and obey. God wants to work through you!"

Search Me...






Search me, O God, and know my heart;
try me, and know my anxieties;
and see if there is any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
--Psalm 139:23-24


"I suppose my suggestion will not receive much serious attention, but

I should like to suggest that we Bible-believing Christians announce
a moratorium on religious activity and set our house in order
preparatory to the coming of an afflatus from above. So carnal is the
body of Christians which composes the conservative wing of the
Church, so shockingly irreverent are our public services in some
quarters, so degraded are our religious tastes in still others, that
the need for power could scarcely have been greater at any time in
history. I believe we should profit immensely were we to declare a
period of silence and self-examination during which each one of us
searched his own heart and sought to meet every condition for a real
baptism of power from on high. "
