Sorry... I realized that it has been three weeks since my last post. The past three weeks we learned about Relationships, Spiritual Warfare, and Freedom.
Relationships was great. It was about relationship with God, others, romantic, friendship, anything! It was so good :) Spiritual Warfare was earning about the spirit realm. ~~~ This is not a wrestling match against a human opponent. We are wrestling with rulers, authorities, the powers who govern this world of darkness, and spiritual forces that control evil in the heavenly world. Ephesians 6:12. Then Freedom week was learning about God's original design for each of us and how we are supposed to live that out :)
Day to day I love living here in Florida. It has started to get warm here which is a lovely blessing because believe me it has been pretty chilly down here... we're talking below 12 degrees... buuurrr!
But I must say that I adore the people I get to live with and see every day! The girls are like sisters and the fellas are like brothers. This weekend YWAM Orlando had the first open house that the base has ever had and it was a huge success. Over 200 people from the community came to check it out and it was a very busy busy day. My duties switched throughout the day and I went from snack prep to lunch prep to parking attendant (which wasn't very hard.. I basically sat in the sun for three hours!) and then dinner prep. Lots of work but the work was fun :) Love it here but the longer I'm away the more and more I miss you all!
Outreach prep is going well and right now we are trying to figure out what every team member's job will be based on our spiritual gifts and talents :) God has blessed me so much financially and I have more than enough money to go to the Middle East!! I expected to maybe be a bit short financially but He has surpassed my expectations greatly!!
Also, for the past three weeks I was dealing with what turned out to be a bad allergic reaction to something. We don't know what it is but I do live in a forest and orange blossoms.. so there are many possibilities. Anyway, it got very very bad last weekend and both my eyes (especially my left eye) were very very red and sore and the skin surrounding my eyes were very very red and dry. On Monday I was taken to a clinic and I was not able to get in to see someone. We left and decided to wait it out or try again the next day. On Tuesday I was taken to a different clinic and God blessed that visit so much! First of all, the doctor knew exactly what to do and he was very kind. Next, he gave me the appointment for free :) Being an international makes seeing the doctor a lot more difficult and from the beginning insurance was not running smoothly and it was very very frustrating. The doctor did not know I was having trouble with insurance or anything and when he told me that he did not want to charge me for the visit I was very very happy :) Thank you Jesus!
Lastly, I wanted to leave ya'll (its becoming part of my lingo) with this because all of us watch this video here and laugh because it is SO true! I actually hear these things daily and it's funny :)
