Support

So, I have written my support letter! Thank goodness, I've been meaning to write this since I got home from camp.

Here it is,

Dear Family and Friends,

I want to tell you about an exciting and challenging opportunity that has been placed before me. YWAM (Youth With A Mission) as accepted me to join their team for a six month missions trip in San Jose, Costa Rica from January 6th, 2012 to June 2nd 2012.

As a part of this team I will be involved in a 12 week classroom phase where I will be learning all about God and what He has called me to do, how to spread the gospel in an impacting way, as well as learning about the culture of Costa Rica. After the classroom phase I will be involved in a 12 week outreach phase where I will be sent out to evangelize, putting into practice the principles I’ve learned during the classroom phase and serving others in many different ways.

I’m very excited about this trip, but I can’t get there alone. I invite you to partner in this mission opportunity with me. You can be involved by praying for the team and me and/or giving financially. If you would like to be involved by praying for me please follow my blog, http://hannahcapeling.blogspot.com/. I post all my prayer requests there.

In order to go on this trip I need to raise $5000. So if you would like to be involved financially please send a check to: Hannah Capeling, 1940 2nd Line North RR#2, Shanty Bay, ON, L0L 2L0 by January 2012. Envelopes are enclosed for your convenience. Please make your check payable to Hannah Capeling.

Do not hesitate to contact me regarding this experience; I would love to tell you more! Contact me at 705-739-7300 or e-mail banana_hannah_89@hotmail.com. I look forward to how God will allow us to partner together to further His kingdom.

Thanks & God Bless,
Hannah Capeling

So, tell me what you think. Haha. Now I get to go out and buy envelopes, stamps, and find addresses. Oh yay! If you guys want one of this letters, let me know! I hope to send them out to a whole bunch of people!

Please be praying that I get all the letters sent out by the end of this week!
Much love,
Hannah

Set Apart

Refiner's Fire

Purify my heart
Let me be as gold and precious silver
Purify my heart
Let me be as gold, pure gold

Refiner's fire
My heart's one desire
Is to be holy
Set apart for You, Lord
I choose to be holy
Set apart for You, my Master
Ready to do Your will

Purify my heart
Cleanse me from within
And make me holy
Purify my heart
Cleanse me from my sin
Deep within

This. This song, it's my prayer. I haven't felt so impure in my life. Today in church we sang this song. Also made me breakdown right in church. I feel like most Sunday's I go to church I sing the songs, I 'listen' to the paster then I walk out. But not today. Today was different. As I listened to the words in this song today, as I really listened, it's like God tore down the wall I'd been building that was separating me from Him. I stood there, feeling, unclean, naked, and totally impure. I don't ever remember feeling this way. And as the song continued to play, I made this my prayer, right then. I prayed that God would purify my heart, that He would cleanse me from within, from all that dirty sin. I prayed He would make me holy. The world seemed to be shaking around me, but yet everything stood still. God's doing something big in me, and I'm so ready. Please pray this for me, that God would purify my heart, cleanse me from within.

Another thing that has come from this song is my blog name. As you know from my last post I was struggling with naming my blog, but no more. I realized that as I live my life and set off into life changing events, I want to be set apart from the world, living my life fully for Christ. Ready to do His will at any moment and not my own or anyone else's. Just His. Please be praying that I can do this, its not going to be easy, but it's possible through HIM!

Thanks for the prayers,
Much love,
Hannah

God is good

He is so good!
I'm always blown away by Him. I think so little of Him all the time, but I think I'm finallly starting to see that God wants me in Costa Rica this coming winter. I was so nervous jumping into something like this. I know no money and I dont know where its coming from. I hear all these stories from people about raising enough money just in time and how God has provided for them, but I've always had this money thing holding me back. But for some strange reason I jumped on this oppurtunity with YWAM, a mission costing me $5000. Scares the crap out of me, but I know that my God's gonna provide for me. I don't think I really felt that when I first applyied. BUT OH, I'm feeling it now.

Coming home from camp I had the lovely mission of finding a job. I've had people continuly tell me how hard it is to find a job and how the only way to get a job these days was to have 'connections'. I have zero connections. But amazingly, my God is amazing and I got a job, I start tomorrow. Its full time! Which is wonderful, now I dont have to get two or three part time jobs. It took a week and a half. Woohooo! He's so good and I can't wait to see what else He will provide me with and when. He is GOOD!

Much Love,
Hannah

Ps. Blog doesn't have a name because I just can't seem to come up with one I like.. So hopefully one will come!

Costa Rica 2012

As some of you might already know, I have been accepted to the YWAM in Costa Rica for there Classic DTS. I leave January 6th and don't return till June 3rd! This blog is a way for people to keep updated with all my thoughts and struggles while I prepare to leave and then also I will update this while I'm gone in Costa Rica.

For those of you who don't know or understand what YWAM is check out this website: www.ywamsj.org/. This website is the place that I will be going. There are tons of different locations around the world.

So, as I'm starting this adventure there are many things that need to be done. If you are a praying person here are a couple prayer requests.

- That I would be able to rise enough money
- That I would find a job for the next four months
- That I would be able to get everything I need in order to go. (Plane ticket, passport renewed, insurance)

Your prayers would be much appreciated!
Hannah
