It's been too long


Well it's been way too long since I've left a post on this thing so here we go again....yeah I'm not really consistent am I??? We'll work on that. Lets see what have I been up to lately? well tons and tons of stuff!!! Our school is off to the races and we're getting pretty far ahead already. There has been alot of openness already and man we're just doing awesome. Lectures that we've had are ones like hearing God's voice, prayer and intercession, Holy Spirit, Post modernism, and a few others. It's been good. I don't know if I said this in the other post but while we're on the road I'm head of Kitchen!!!! yaaaa buddy! It gets pretty crazy at times. I've got to plan the meals, buy them, pack them in our coolers, and make sure that they get cooked and that people get fed! This can be a pretty big job when it's for 26 people, but by God's grace I'm making it through. I've been finding out that I really need to rest in him for even things like this and not get stressed out but just to have fun living life and doing the things that I need to do. Awesome fun stuff!!! oh oh this picture to the left which I didn't take however is of Bryon bay! A really pretty place that is filled with backpackers and with alot of the New Age movement. But regardless it's amazing and there is a YWAM base that we stayed at and can you guess what their target is....yep that's right the backpackers! It's really neat and exciting to hear the stuff that they are doing and...dun dun dun....that's what I get to do!!! A few weeks ago we found out our outreach locations and mine will be Australia. I get to take a team up the east coast of Australia and we get to backpack with people and build relationships with them and through that we get to share the gosple. So it's going to be something that I've never done before. Stretching and amazing all at the same time. I'll have another leader with me (Nate Mell) and then 5 students (2 boys and 3 girls). I'm really looking forward to it and what God is going to do.

Over the past 2 weeks God has really been healing my heart more and yeah walking me through a few things here or there. Speaking to me promises again that I had forgotten about or had trouble believing again. One of those being that I'm his princess. It sounds kind of girly, but its something that I really needed from God. To find affirmation in him and not in others. It's not bad to have it from others but it's first and for most best to have it from him. It's something that I still have to seek from him but it's going pretty good. It feels like at times I'm in a broken state but I think sometimes God wants us in place where all we need is him and there is nothing else that could ever get us through but him. He's been showing himself faithful in many areas and I have to say that I am blessed.

I've been missing home lately too however, and have to day that I LOVE my FAMILY!!! They are probably the best thing in the world and to anyone who reads this you must know this. Okay yeah so they aren't perfect we know that, but they are amazing and I love them from the bottom to the top of my heart. Every single one of them. Here's a picture for you all and yeah my eye on the one side is kind of squished. but i still think it's cute. muahahaha. This was in byron bay at a beach called Broken heads. There was huge waves there and it was pretty fun I got thrown in to the water yippee! among the work i still get to hang out at the beach every now and then! Well I think that's about it for now but if you would like to pray for me a few things that would be wonderful to pray for would be more healing in my heart, restful sleeps however long they might be, that the school would continue to have break through in areas of the students lives and protection. I love you all greatly and can't say enough about how much you have all been a blessing. Honestly I do love you all. Have a blessed day!
Later days ;)
