Holla at your girl. I had a request to update my lj. :) yay.
I AM STILL ALIVE, but that IS the kinda question your goin to wanna be asking during these next two months when I'm no longer in America. In FOUR days I'll be leaving Kona, Hawai'i for Vanuatu (located just north/west of Austraila). I'll be living out of the country for two months, how crazy is that!? It's pretty cool, i can now say I've lived in Hawaii. Yeah, I'm cool...i know (jk). HA!
I'm very excited to leave for Vanuatu. I've been slowly packing up stuff since Sunday. I have to put all my stuff (except the things I'll be taking with me) into storage tomorrow afternoon. It's CRAZY! In some ways three months has FLOWN by and i feel like "No, it can't be over yet!", but in some ways it's gone pretty slow and i'm ready to go, get back, and go home. It is really sad to leave everyone here...it sucks. It brings back the same feelings from the night i left VA.
After being here for 3 months and experiencing YWAM, I'm really starting to think I don't want this to be the end of my missionary career. I have something to do back at home after my DTS, but I know God is going to be on my side, and I don't think it's going to take that long. I REALLY am going to start to seek the Lord on what my future plans should be. Part of me can see me living at home in the normal American dream, but then part of me see's me coming home for just a little while and then going back into YWAM to continue to spread the gospel throughout the world. College is always going to be around, the call on my life is right now.
I mean here's SOME of the crazy stories I've accumulated after being involved with YWAM after only three months. Stories like toxic streams being purified over night (by God), coral reef coming back to life after being dead for a very long time, the course of a tornado being changed through prayer, people being raised from the dead...uh the usual ywam, GOD kinda stuff. Pretty crazy, eh?
I'm being ruined for the world, and I'm loving it. I really challenge you to go deeper into what God has for you. It's not easy, but SOOO worth it.
Well, I think I'm about to pull an all nighter w/ some people here for a LOTR marathon? I most likely am NOT going to post before I leave for Vanuatu. So, keep my team in your prayers. xoxo ;-)
