Sorry it has been a little while so much has gone on and been super busy lately. I will start off with letting you all know I have the financial amount I need to raise for Papua New Guinea! I will be praying and asking God to provide for me $2,700 for my outreach amount. This is nothing for a God whose is SO faithful and bigger than any finance I need provided. I have seen God provide for so many of my fellow friends in amazing, unexpected ways here, and I have full faith in knowing that He is more than willing to provide for me as this is His will.
This week in lectures was the topic of Intimacy with God and learning in depth about the Holy Spirit. It was a crazy ride this week and I wish I could put into words all that the Holy Spirit did here. It was an experience like no other, and God was moving in incredible ways! God showed me for sure the immense power of the Holy Spirit and the power in the tongue and speaking truth out. I have learned the importance in moving in the power of the Holy Spirit, and what a genuine loving relationship God extends to all of his children looks like. I love serving a God who desires and is running to a relationship with me just as much as I am running to Him. Our speaker was Kevin Norris a YWAM leader from Kona and I loved his blunt, challenging questions that made me truly question why I believe what I believe. This week was a bit of a struggle physically as this week my outreach team and I started double hikes up Castle Hill for more training. Each week will get harder, but I embrace the challenge as I know this will equip me in the areas I need it the most.
This DTS has meant so much to me the past few weeks. It have never been so stretched, challenged, molded, and willing to constantly say Yes to God in every aspect of this exciting journey I am on. No matter what day I have at the end of it God is worth the cost and comfort, and worth giving everything up for. I will be leaving tomorrow for two weeks camping in the beautiful outback and valleys of Australia! Im am so ready for this time to just be with God and His creation. God is good ALL the time and I constantly am reminded of His character in each season I am in. Also, I love living life with these people! Making memories and lighting a flame for God with them is such a blessing. Miss home and all my wonderful families and friends! Thanks for your prayers! Be back March 4th. Can't wait to see all that God is going to do in our lectures and time camping as we will be on the topic of Lordship! I had a very Happy birthday in Aussie land, and it was definitely memorable.
