Well its been a whirlwind month and a half. My family took a step of faith and moved from Maui to Honolulu, HI. If you would have asked us 6 months ago if this was our plan we would NOT have said yes.. but the Lord knows what He has in store for us if we are willing to hear Him and be obedient. We were sad to leave our friends, YWAM Maui, our 5 minute walk to the beach, the lifestyle of Maui, etc, but we could not shake the fact that we had recieved this Macedonian call from Honolulu. It was a rough start as our kitty decided not only to throw up on the plane but roll around in it until we touched ground. A group of 5 staff picked up a family running fromk bathroom to bathroom trying to clean the kitty.. we weren't too succesful as the whole way to our new home we would get strong whiffs of cat puke....
We seemed to survive that night and ever since have been in awe of the "rightness" of us moving here. We cannot deny the peace that has invaded our life as we have launched out as a family in missions.
Bryan is working in maintenance, and has been a tremendous blessing here.. as he is a jack of all trades and will figure out what needs to be done to fix something.He is a man that is blessed with creative and artful skills. He helped the base director by laying tile in their new home and will be helping our new pastor in another tiling endeavor soon. He is getting accustomed to community life and all that that brings
Kieva has made new friends with kids on the base and loves having friends to play with all the time!!! He is loved here and thinks that all the aunties and uncles are here to play with him and love him....they do a great job at both!!
I have been immering myself in the word and in time with the Lord. as we draw closer to the beggining of this Prayer Seminar I am in awe of what the Lord is doing in my life. Once again filling me up with an insatiable hunger to spend time with Him just for the sake of His loveliness, We have 7 students as of today and are still recieiving phone calls and confirmations daily!!
The Lord let us know that this seminar was not about numbers or even big name speakers that would bring a large crowd but instead about those that have captured the understanding that more time in the presence of the Lord equals a greater Kingdom perspective. This equals out to greater love for our GOd and one another.. the first commandment. It also boils over into hearts filled with mercy and compassion, a willingness to give of ones whole self to the obedience of Christ and an eye for beauty that we cannot attain without Him.
I am excited to see what He is going to rock us a s a school and give us more radical revelation of Himself.
We serve a God that is absolutelyy amazing... a restoring, forgiving, loving, creative, wonderful God who has bent over backwards to communicate with us. I encourage you.. take some time today and bask in His presence.. there is only good thins waiting for you there!!
