last week here!!!!

oh my goodness...i can't even believe that i have come this far, and in one week i will be flying to Thailand...it is such a strange feeling cuz it seems like i have been here FOREVER yet i feel like i JUST got off the plane. i can't believe i'm already goin on outreach...i am REALLY excited about it though. a little scary, but i know God's leading the way...

things here have been super CRAZY busy...like day and night lectures, and preppin, and weekends have been so FULL too...our churches have held bbq's and parties n stuff. awesome but BUSY!

i don't even know where to start with my updates...

last week we had the infamous WAXER speaking on base. he's a CRAZY surfer pastor on one of the other islands, and i swear the dude has serious ADD...but he preaches the TRUTH and it convicts. he spoke on apologetics...it was a powerful week. lit some fires under our butts i think :)

thanksgiving is this week wednesday night we'll be having a MASSO dinner...and thursday through tuesday we have off to pack and prep and get it all done. we fly out on tuesday morning at 5am...i think we're all on the same plane too, so that should be fun!

this week we have stacie campbell...she's speaking on the Holy Spirit, and prophesy. so far it's been REALLY awesome...i'm excited for more :)

God's been speaking a lot to me lately too...just giving me deeper revelation of how i need to really let go of all my selfishness, and COMPLETELY depend on Him...he's teaching me what it means to have a childlike faith...and carrying out revelation about His relationship with David, and what that looks like for me...some of the stuff has been HARD to hear, and some stuff He's dealing isn't the most fun, but i am just SO thankful to hear Him so clearly, and that i can tell He's disciplining me because i am His child and He LOVES me and wants ONLY the best for me...

so yeah. that's where i am at right now...He's been REALLY faithful in guidance for certain situations...and He's given me a LOT of grace to get through some stuff...

one thing that i have been realizing is how PATIENT He really is, and has been with me...man i can really screw things up sometimes, and He seriously takes my messes, and redeems them in amazing ways. and even though things seem to be going SO fast for me here, He has been slowly teaching and guiding and healing and working on me with such patience and mercy...i love Him so much for that...

anyways...i hafta go, or i'll be late for my outreach prep...i promise i will write before i leave..buti gotta fly for now!

HUGE loves.
