It's almost been a full week being here at ywam denver. Things have been good, yet its going to take some time to get used to living in community. You realize how selfish you can be. That's something I am trying to die to daily. Die to my selfishness and my wants, and in place be a servant to the needs of others around me.
My prayer for this season is to be refined in the fire of the Lord. Everything in my heart that is not of Him, I want removed. And as of yesterday I am seeing that happen. At first I wasn't sure what was going on, but after talking to some friends the Lord used them to show me He is answering my prayer. He's refining me. He's getting rid of all the crap in my heart, the hurt I've been through, and still hold onto, unknowingly. I'm in a way, joyful about it, because I see what He is doing and I can feel the process of the refining. I see the answer to the prayers I'm praying.
Yesterday we were given an overview of what this school will look like with projects, ministries, and book reports. I'm really excited about it all! Some of it terrifies me...lol, but I don't find that a surprise. What I do find a slight surprise is how willing and how much I'm looking forward to the outreaches...we as a school will be leading. I've always been afraid of things like that. The responsibility of it all. It goes to show how good God's timing is. If I would have done this school 2 years ago, I would not have been ready. Ha...i would have dreaded it. But, a lot has happened in my heart and mind since my dts ended. In a way, I'm a completely different person. I thank God that He has brought me here at this time. I've made some good friends and hopefully they will be life-long ones at that.

Jesus. Worship. Intercession. Servant hood. Humility. Flexibility.
this is what ywam has been the first several days.
Not going to lie,It's been extremely tough mentally and emotionally. I'm an introvert and lots of people drain me. Not that I don't love meeting new people and making new friends, it's just an easy thing for me. But, jesus is good! And He is giving me the strength to press on and trust Him.
That is a major focus the past couple days. Trusting Him. He's asking me to leap into His arms and trust He will catch me. And that is what I'm trying to do. It's not easy...and sometimes I'm not sure what it looks like in the physical, but I'm doing all I know how and know He will not leave me or let me down.
IRELAND- There is a team going around Dec 18 or 19th thru February 13 or 14, and I'm really wanting to go. Honestly, haven't heard the lord say this is the place to go, but haven't heard its not either. I'm drawn to it very much. Would you pray with me about this? the total cost is $2700 and I have to have $1350 in by the 29th of this month...(i belive that is the date) I know I have to have that much before the end of this month. As of right now I have no finances to go. BUT! I know that God provides in many ways, and I've seen Him do that over and over again! Never once has He failed me, and so here I am, trusting Him to provide if this is where He wants me to go.
Things to pray for concering the trip-
Wisdom and discernment.
Finances
For a willing heart..whether I go to ireland or not, just to trust the Lord and obey.
Thank you for praying with me on this!

people watching..at the airport..its great.
Wow! It's the big day! Its time! I'm really going to ywam again! It's really happening! haha...ahh,i'm so excited. In a way its hard to believe that I am really going back to ywam. The Lord has truly blessed me. It's so amazing to me, when I think about the fact, that the Lord really does know my heart,even better than I do myself. I've haven't felt this much peace in a while.
This is a new season. A new beginning. My prayer for this new season is that God would set a fire in my heart and burn away all that does not honour and glorify Him. To have a passion and desire for Him like I once had, but in a new and deeper dimension.
The was a rain/snow/sleet storm this morning. Oh Fall, where have you gone? Why must you hide? I love you winter, but please, its not your time.
Good things are coming! And there is a lot more of Jesus for me to discover.
Some specific prayer requests if you feel led:
Easy transition
Ability to focus and understand what I learn.
A humble heart.
Thanks!
