So I’m guessing that most of you who think of me are wondering what I’ve been up to in the last week here in Hawaii.  That is unless you’ve seen those wonderful pics of me at the beach Well this last week has been interesting for me.  I’m used to a very independent lifestyle and it has been a very drastic change to be in a room with 7 other girls sharing one bathroom.  It’s also been very different for me to have a very scheduled out day…all day, every day. So, coming in to this YWAM Discipleship Training School, I asked God for some key things that I knew would assist me in this process.  I asked him to give me a teachable spirit since i surely have not “arrived” yet in my walk with God even though sometimes my self righteousness tells me i have.  I asked him to give me an understanding, discernment, and wisdom of His ways.  I also asked him to keep me humble and go as deep as He wants.
So, wow.  I did not realize that those were such challenging things for me!  This week we have been going over the “Father Heart of God” in class.  My class is a mixture of people in their 20′s and people in their 50′s so there’s quite a generational gap going on, but I am so thankful.  I surely do not always have a teachable spirit! God reminds me daily that I prayed for that and so I constantly am checking my attitude at the door and becoming tender for God to speak to me and use me.  So needless to stay He is stretching me and its painful but necessary.  I need to get rid of my self reliance and independence and become a child again so this can be a time that i receive all i can from God.  So I’m really trying to soak it all in.  I have pretty much cried every day because I realize how much God loves me and how much He delights in me and desires to be the first place in my life.
This week I will be learning how to built sinks, filters for wells, and pumps for good sanitation in a 3rd world setting.  I’m pretty excited about this bc I found this is very useful when you are trying to save someones life.  Clean water.  What a wonderful thing.  We will also be going over basic wound care and medical stuff…which may be not too new for me but that’s ok, I learn something new every day in the medical field so I’m sure there is more to learn.  We have like 20 doctors in my team so we will all learn together.  There are also counselors, psychologists, nurses, and med students (my favorite .
There are three choices for outreach sites.   They still could switch to other places since one place is kinda dangerous and the leaders are watching the news to make sure things don’t get volatile.  I’m not sure which place I’m going to put as my first choice, I’m praying about it and preparing my heart for things that I will see/experience.  I will keep you all updated.  Stay tuned for more! Shout out to my CMH crew, I miss you guys so much! I also really miss interacting with children on a daily basis Leave comments!
