I'm home! Well, I have been for about 3 weeks now :) It's taking me some time to get used to being here, but I know it's where I'm supposed to me for now. God is opening so many doors for me here in Prineville. I just wanted to give more details from outreach and some things God has been teaching me. I've been reading over my journal and notes from the past 6 months and trying to process as much as I can. There's just so much that happened!
This is a list I made of some things God gave me through DTS:
An amazing YWAM family who love me
Three very close friends who I love soooo much and am so blessed to have in my life!!!
The freedom to be who He's called me to be
A voice to proclaim His name among the nations
He taught me what it means to love and be loved
Open eyes to see what He sees
A broken heart for people I didn't even love
A desire to read the Bible
A longing to hear His voice
An understanding of what it's really like to be a missionary
A heart to worship Him with reckless abandon
A better understanding of who He is
He taught me to listen to His voice of truth and not lies
A prayer language! And He replaced my fear with amazing peace
A hunger for more of Him
The desire to learn more about the world
He healed my heart from pain I'd been holding onto
He let me see how blessed I am
.....and so much more! YWAM truly has ruined me for the ordinary. I don't even have the desire to live an ordinary life.
I'm speaking about my trip for the 1st time tonight.
That's all for now but I'll try to write out some stories later :)
