5th week

Sorry it's been so long everyone!  I'll still talk about each week though. 

The fifth week we had Etienne Pieterse Speak to us about Lordship, it was an intense week of really studying my life and what I have really given to God.  God has showed me that this is a lifestyle that he calls me to live out everyday, of getting on the alter and giving myself as a living sacrifice. He shared with us about putting my hope in his hands and surrendering everything to his will, then picking up our cross and how that will lead to our destiny.

This was the week that we got the options for outreach!!!!  The choices were Fiji, Mexico City, South Africa, Mozambique, Zambia, Lesotho, Philippines, Cambodia, malaysia, Bali, and Australia. 

4th Week

This week Matt Dawson lectured on worship and intercessory prayer.  It was very good and I learned more about God's heart for youth. I also learned how to ask God to give me his heart for people groups and nations. I've also been learning that God wants me to worship him all the time even when I don't feel like it or when things are tough.  Now I understand a little more about his preferences and that I need to be sensitive to those.

 For morning exercise this week I power walked, it was good though because I could actually talk to the other people and find out more about my YP family!!  One of my friends taught me how to longboard this week too, which is just like a skateboard but it looks like a mini surfboard. It was so much fun because then afterward we had a long conversation and really got to know each other.  God is blessing me with amazing friends and leaders!!!

I've been to a few beaches in the past month or so and this week I found my favorite one yet, it's called Cottesloe, it has beautiful water that is calmer than the others, a reef, and I saw dolphins too!!  I'm thinking about each of you, love you all!
