Leap of Faith- Kathryn's YWAM Adventure: The Story of our Lives

"It flies in the face of all your pride
It moves away the mad inside
It’s always anger’s own worst enemy
Even when the jury and the judge
Say you gotta right to hold a grudge
It’s the whisper in your ear saying ‘Set It Free’"
--- Forgiveness by Matthew West

The topic this week was titled Biblical Restoration (The Father Heart of God). This week is very hard to explain... the depth we all felt was like nothing else. Our teacher, Michael Berg, taught us how we can view God as a father and it was a concept that I already knew. However, he reminded us that God always forgives us- no matter what! So what excuse do we have to keep grudges and bitterness towards other people? When we repent to God He will restore us, but He will also restore us when we forgive others. We were given an opportunity to do so and it took about 4 hours of praying, crying, and then feeling the most amazing freedom ever :) God didn't want any of us to feel the pain we had been carrying around us anymore. We had worship and a bonfire after and we had a lovely night of community, friendship, and freedom :)

Music that has been encouraging me this past week:
God often speaks to me through music and lyrics and this past week was the perfect week for this kind of communication.
