Recap

Tomorrow is the beginning of week 3 here at YWAM Denver. Crazy its been two weeks. I almost feel like I've been here forever and known some of these people my whole life. But at the same time I feel like I just got here and I'm slowly meeting some of the other people. The fact that I have been here for two weeks and I feel like so much awesome stuff has happened in my life and heart, I can't even fathom what is going to happen between now and November.

I have had some more time to process what happened during last weeks classes.. The teaching of Father Heart of God was incredible. Absolutely incredible. We learned so much about God's heart for us as His kids. We learned all about the way we build up things between us and God. We were taught the way past wounds and hurts can cripple our relationship with God if we allow it. Personally, I am learning about trusting the Lord and forgiveness. I don't think I'm much of a grudge holder, but I do tend to hold onto some part of past angers. This last week has taught me so much about the truth of forgiveness. Somehow, the last teachings of my home church Ignite, that I attended keeps coming to mind. Just bits and pieces, but its cool how everything somehow ties together.

Now to the crazy four day weekend. In my last post you heard all about my fourth, which was fun. Washington, you have much better fireworks. Anyway, Friday we got 3 vans full of young people and a tube for just about everyone.  The vans were cram packed with people and tubes, it was quite the experience. We drove up to Golden, CO. We walked up the river a bit and filled the river with YWAMers! I think just about everyone flipped over at least once. We laughed, we joked, we froze. Personally, I did it as much as possible (three times) trying to find the roughest rapids on the river. Our last  run we heard thunder and it started to rain while we floated down the river. A little sketchy, but it was all good. It was a great day. That night I went to bed as early as possible to prepare myself for a 8 mile hike. We left the base at 4am. We trucked up the mountain to the elevation of 14,270. I could barely breath. My muscles were screaming "what are you doing?!"  Only 10 of us from the school went. It was spectacular. I saw mountain tops for days. The whole way we spoke of dreams, life and the love we all share for our God. It was a great adventure, with great people. My bedroom is on the second floor, needless to say, walking up those stairs today is a struggle. Ha

Now to get serious. Here is what is on my mind.  I am not really worried about finances, but it is on my mind. Due to the fact that I do not have the money ready. I hate to ask for money, and it's not something I would normally do. However, if you feel led to donate to an awesome mission trip...Good news! I am headed to an awesome mission trip and half my tuition for it is due at the end of week 4. Half of the tuition is $1400.  I ask that you pray about my finances, and the right things will happen.  I know it will be provided, I have peace about it. But the question is how.. I don't yet know that but I am looking forward to my mission. If you have any questions about my trip or finacial support, you can get ahold of me at email or you can ask me through my facebook page.
Thank you for your support whether it be prayer, encouragement, support, and/or financial support. God Bless!
