Hey friends so to catch you all up,
Mike and I were in Colorado for the month of July and we are back in
LA now and have been for about 3 weeks already. Michael and I are now
officially on staff with YWAM LA (Youth With A Mission). We have made
a two year commitment with this organization and we will soon find
out what ministries we will be working with and what country we will
go to next. And I've got really exciting news to share with you all
that in 10 days I will be on a flight headed to New York City to work
at New York Fashion Week! Which if you don't know, it is a really big
deal! I will be doing outreach with Beauty Arise and Models for
Christ again, dressing models backstage, encouraging them and sharing the
love of Jesus with them and other professionals in the industry. If you read my past post from LA Fashion Week it is the same kind of outreach and it gives a pretty good description of how
dark this industry is.
With this particular upcoming outreach
I'm really nervous. Doing ministry in an environment that is solely
based on material goods, luxury, and beauty is really terrifying
especially when those were things I valued so deeply and in my past found my identity in. It's hard not
to get wrapped up in feeling insecure and placing your value in
things that really don't define who you are as a person. But this
past week God has shown me and reminded me that He lives inside me so
I have no reason to be scared because He tells my worth and that He also anoints what He
appoints. He has appointed my team and I in this mission so now I can
rest knowing it's going to be awesome because He has His anointing
over us and what we are doing. “Cast all your anxiety on Him
because he cares for you.” -1 Peter 5:7
Love always,
Grace xo
