September already?! Time is going by so fast:) I have already been working as staff in YWAM for over a month. But I absolutely love working here! Right now my position is in the hospitality department; which includes baking, cleaning, event-planning, and taking care of the school's speakers that come every week. It is a Monday-Friday job (sometimes we do some work over the weekend), with the weekends usually free to spend time with students, go to the beach, rest, etc...
The twenty-six students here are great! They are so hungry for God and what He wants to do in their lives. And I love spending time with them when I get the chance.
This week the speaker spoke on intercession and intimacy with God, and I got to sit in on two night lectures. (I can't during the day because of work) I loved it! It was one of my favorite topics to learn. Plus, God has been teaching me so much! More than I expected for only being on staff for almost two months.
Some of the things God is teaching me is to not keep Him in a box, and allow Him more freedom to move in my life. It is so easy to limit Him, and I am done with that. I am so hungry for His presence in my life, and learning what that looks like. I want more than just a quiet time with God then done for the rest of the day... I crave His voice in my life-intimacy is what I want! There are many other things He has been teaching me, but I need to go to bed :)
Some things I have been doing lately...
*Remodeling my room a bit that me and two other staff live in. It needs some spice! This weekend I am going to paint/collage/etc.
*Practicing guitar when I get the chance; I reaaaaallllly want to be good at this. Singing and guitar have been a passion growing inside of me, especially for worship.
*I went to a Purity Siege this weekend! It was amazing. A bunch of us went and prayed for purity on this island and in our generation. A lot to explain, so look at this link!
