What I'm learning

I'm reading in 1Kings in the Bible lately, only because I've told Kimberly that I'm struggling being passionate about anything I've been turning to in the Bible lately and I hate it. She told me, go read Kings.
I'm loving and also struggling with it. I'm so interested in this King Solomon. I mean man he had the greatest kingdom ever seen and built! God blessed him because of the wisdom he asked for as ruler in following his great father King David. God did just this and blessed him immensely.
I loved how he when God asked him what he wanted and he asked for more and more wisdom, that God said he's give him that and so much more. Solomon showed this with the story of those two mothers who went to him. One rolled over her baby in the middle of the night and killed her child. She swapped babies with the mother next to her who's child was alive. In the morning the mother with a dead child near her realized it wasn't hers and so they went to the great King Solomon to settle the disput of who's baby was the living one. He said we'll cut the child in half so you each have the child you ask for. The mother who's child it actually was saw what was going to happen to her baby said no, don't kill the child over this, give him to her. Solomon then said, that is the baby's mother, give the child to her. That showed the beginnings of this great wisdom that Solomon possessed because he asked of it from God. I love that! I need so much morein my position of not knowing what the heck I'm doing.
I'm so cut out for this campaign. I'm feeling like I'm always drowning not knowing how to get from step A to step B. The dreams and networks are good, but only God can actually connect the dots. Oh how I need you Lord!
Kimberly and I were invited to a cricket match tomorrow, which yes lasts ALL day long! So in our boredom we're going to bring the Bible and go over Kings because I said yes that was exciting, but the many chapters on the boring details of this temple built and kingdom, I just couldn't bear reading it because it seemed to be of insignificance to me. She flipped out and said that Temple was created in God's image! It was the closest thing these people were given to be near God. She's going to teach me much more about it! I'm excited.
Gonna go now gotta get some work done to get this website kicked off!

This time I’ve followed my heart to South Africa to be a servant for the Lord. In whatever magical way that may be, I will do so with the wonderful program, Youth With A Mission.
Ever since I did a mission trip to Mississippi back in 07’ I’ve been inspired to continue to serve. I've been dreaming about an adventure as well as being at the 2010 World Cup.
With the support of YWAM I will be embracing the country by first going through YWAM’s DTS, (Discipleship Training School). DTS is a pre-requisite to being a missionary through WYAM when completed.
The first 3 months are going to be at the base in Muizenberg. There my ‘team’ who have applied for the school around the world, challenging ourselves to be fully ready to serve in whatever calling we gravitate towards.
Choosing a country from the options YWAM provides, our team will then go serve there for the last 3 months. At the end of our mission, we debrief back in Muizenberg.
With the largest sporting event in the world going on in SA, I can just feel that it’s a place God will do wondrous things. With the beautiful game I know many youth especially youth, can be reached with endless opportunities.
I’ve traveled, met many people, gained work ethic, responsibility, confidence, and how to be a part of something larger than myself from soccer. Now I feel if there’s anyway I can give this gift in a place in such a time as this, then that would be a dream for me!
Not only do I hope and plan that YWAM will plug me into ties with the World Cup but also be able to help me network enough to help anyone else who may be thinking of attending the World Cup and or serving during the event.
I thank you from the very bottom of my heart for thoughts, prayers and financial support to help make a change.

Be sure to put a note that it’s for Noel Cameron

For the remaining 3 months, I still need to raise funds of around R12,000. I calculated my rent/utilities R1,500, food R1,200, internet/phone, R400, and extras (train travel, toiletries, hair cut, etc.) R1000. So about R4,000 a month with 3 months of May, June and July left I need around R12,000. This equates to around $1,700 for 3 months longer here in South Africa. God always supplies and never fails so I must have faith. I could possibly live on more or less so I am trying to not stress about this. Please keep me in your prayers. There are also so many other YWAMers around me who struggle for schools, accommodation, even a day’s train ticket. Please keep them in your prayers to continue in the steps God has called them.
