As you have probably noticed by now, I post my blog updates on Saturday. However, I need to purchase a few things this weekend and instead of coming to campus for the day I'm going to go to the mall. I also have some extremely exciting news to share with you which is another huge reason I'm wanting to post this update today.
This week's lectures were on the 'Nature & Character of God'. When I first heard that this was the topic I was honestly a little dismayed. I have studied this subject often and I felt it would just be redundant. I was wrong. Peter, who runs a YWAM base in Denver, was great at taking the information and really examining it and answering questions. Also, looked at it in such a way that is applicable to each of us. He had to leave early yesterday unfortunately and we have just been doing more focus groups and talking about the information that he was able to present. Yesterday was 'family dinner & family night' like every Wednesday. I always look forward to that. Worship and intercession was awesome. I felt so connected to God last night. It was just a really joy filled night.
Now! I have some awesome news to share with you! This afternoon, before lunch, we discovered official 'outreach' locations and teams!! I'm officially going to the Philippines! You can look in the previous posts to see more about what exactly I will be up to. I will also try to post more information as soon as possible. I couldn't be happier with my team, I know God will use us in unbelievable ways. I was so happy when I heard the Philippines was an option I started crying. I did not realize the grip this country had on my heart. God knows our hearts much more than we know them ourselves. I know people from the Philippines that I met in Hong Kong, I bought a bracelet where the full price went to help support victims of Typhoon Haiyan, I was reading an article in Time magazine about the typhoon just a day before locations were announced and it broke my heart, I could go on... just the little ways God has been putting an ache for this country in my heart. It didn't even cross my thoughts that it would ever be an option. I'm just super excited! Haha..
However, we were also informed that the price of this 'outreach' will be on the high end. That means I'm still $900 short. If you would like to believe with me in the things God will do through my team and I then please consider offering a tangible sign of that support. Thanks again for all the support - financially and non. It means the world. I'm not just saying that.
Love you guys! Keep me in your prayers. Also my family, they were finally heading to Key West after so much struggle and now after another mechanical issue are back in another marina for repairs.
