So here's a magazine that was published by YWAM about their most recent Marriage of the Arts DTS. That's what I will be attending.. there will be a graphic design track, photography, fine art, video, writing and several others... we will all be together, but seperate. This magazine has stories, pictures, and information about YWAM! After reading prety much all of it, I'm even more aware of right this choice is for me. This is where I need to be and what I need to be doing. Had you asked me 2 years ago, 1 year, heck 6 months ago if I thought I was called to the mission field I would have laughed to myself, and probably out loud. I always thought I had a strong desire to help people, but never really felt like I wanted to do that as a Christian... weird, I know, but I've always wanted to do the Peace Corp (and still do). I just never felt I wanted to go help people and be a witness. I've never felt like I could be a great witness. My flaws, my insecurities have always kept me from feeling worthy, I guess. God has definitely been pushing me into this journey, and I know without a doubt that it is going to be one of the hardest things I ever do, to step out of my comfort zone for the first few times.

I'm so excited to that I have this oppurtunity to combine my passion, art, with helping others... that I can use something I'm good at (probably the only thing I'm good at) to make a difference in someone else's life. By taking a picture of a girl, I can make her feel beautiful. By taking a simple picture of a village impoverished by lack of food, health supplies, or a government that doesn't take of it's people, I can show people that live a privelaged life what life is really like for a large portion of the world.

So, take a look and read some of the stories... you won't be disappointed.
