So i have been incredibly busy lately and really slacking on updating my blog...
i have been in school the last three months and have not had time to really sit and write a blog, but i wanted to update and say that i am almost finished with the lecture phase of my school and will be going to El Salvador and Honduras for a month!
I am waiting for a miracle and believing that it will come! God has been so faithful up til now in my life and i believe that He will continue to be faithful because He is the same yesterday, today, and forever!
i still do not have all of the money for the school or outreach, but i know that with your support and prayers (the possible), God is faithful in doing the impossible!
please continue to pray, there are many of us in my school who still need the money and we leave in two weeks!
thanks again for prayers and support...if anyone is interested in supporting me please leave a comment and we'll work out the details!
Blessings!

Walking...
Last week i had the opportunity to go on an extreme adventure that focuses on accepting challenges, conquering fears, and coming closer to God.
The main thing that i learned, in those five days, was about patience. I was put in a group with 3 other girls and 1 guy. By the second day one of the girls could barely walk because of the pain in her feet. God told me that I needed to walk with her throughout the week. You know me, full of energy, strength and perseverance...it was definitely hard, but so worth it. God kept speaking about how I need to walk hand-in-hand with Him...I CANNOT rush ahead to the future...He wants to guide me and prepare the way, so that when the time is right, I arrive and receive the whole blessing!
At the end of the week, God confirmed this in our time of affirmation. One girl prayed over me and really felt God speak the word: RISK. if I take the risk and rush through life, not being completely sensitive to God's voice, I may miss God's will for me in that moment. It hit me really hard. I really need to spend more time with God and recognize His voice and walk slowly beside Him. My relationship with Him NEEDS to be my first priority.

Accepted!!!
Hello!
I was just sitting here in the coffee shop and thought I'd write
about how things are going!
Last week I filled out an application for a school i plan on
doing in April. This school is a second level YWAM school called,
"Principles in Children and Youth Ministries" and will be held in Buenos Aires
(about 14 hours from Mendoza). I just found out from a staff member (Marcela) that the staff at the Buenos Aires base are already looking forward to having me!
I am very excited about this opportunity and feel that it will greatly
benefit my future plans to start a ministry working with kids. I feel
God has opened up this school as a way for me to gain more knowledge,
understanding, ideas and tools to work with kids!
So, with this said, i could use all of your prayers.
The school costs $850 (lecture phase) and an additional amount for the
outreach (with possibilities of traveling to China, Central America,
or Argentina)
I received an email yesterday saying that i have been accepted!
I would greatly appreciate all your prayers as i walk in faith into
this new journey of going deeper!
Waiting for a miracle,
Carissa

More than my Provider...
It's been way too long since i've written...wow time flies.
Life is going well here in Argentina! God is doing many great things!
I came to the realization the other day that i have the coolest best friend in the world!
God is so great, He provides for my needs beyond what i even ask or need.
It's like, "hey i really could use some new shoes...only days later a girl gives me a pair of shoes!" I am hungry and need something to eat, but haven't been able to go shopping; someone invites me to eat with them. It's so wonderful the way God responds to my needs! i love Him so much!
that's my note of encouragement for you all...God wants to not just provide for our needs, He wants to bless us beyond what we ask or need!
