Highlights!

Ok, so it's been a while and if I try to catch you up to everything that God has been doing, this blog post will turn into a novel. So, will try to hit the highlights!

We have just entered week three of the twelve weeks of school here at the base.

Week 1 was a variety of topics, intros, quiet times, info about the base and the heart behing the ministries, and our identity in God. We ended the week working at a fourth of July event at Fatherheart (the ministry for unwed mothers) which is a fundraiser for the ministry. We got to enjoy barbecue and fireworks as well.

Week 2 was an amazing week about the Fatherheart of God. Our speaker was Claude Bonjour, a man who grew up in Switzerland, from a French background, who lives at a YWAM base in Wisconsin. He has been in YWAM 30 years and has this amazing gift of bringing God's Fatherheart for His children everywhere he goes. Claude exuded God's love and tenderness towards us. At the end of the week we had a time of ministry and I was blown away by God's gift of peace and security that He flooded me with as my Papa. I truly entered the throne room, sat on Papa's lap and rested in His peace and safety. Words cannot do justice to what God has done in my heart.

On Saturday we had a school get together with swimming and fellowship and amazing food the staff had prepared for us. It was a great time to get to know one another better, away from the classroom.

This week we are hearing from Larry Allen, one of the staff on base here who is responsible for all of the schools here. This man has an amazing gift for knowing verses by memory....blew me away.

And then we've started one-on-one and small group sessions as well. I have an amazing leader for those, named Sandy. God definitely knew what He was doing when He put us together. I won't be getting away with anything with her!

I love to get mail, email, facebook comments, whatever, so shoot me a line when you get a chance! Miss you all!
