As always, I had a really great day today. I can't say that I love this place and the people enough.
We ventured off to to Idaho springs.
It was amazing to go out and see the mountains and explore thru some shops. I got a fan for three dollars at a thrift store. It's so cute, small and it fits perfectly on my shelf. It does help a little, but my room has to cool off a little for it to even make a difference. It's also a heater but I don't want to turn that on for a very long time. In Idaho, the group and I stopped at this little shop, where we got root beer floats and shared French fries. So good!:)
Tonight we got to watch a really neat teaching by Loren Cunningham (the one who started YWAM) and he told a lot about His life and stories of how he got to YWAM and what he had to change to get there. Speaking a lot about letting things go. Afterwards we all had the opportunity to put that into our own lives. God told me to make a list of things I needed to let go of. So I did!:) Afterwards, He told me to go lay down, and said that this was how I could lay it out at the alter for Him to take care of. So I shut my journal and laid down. Once I did this, i opened up my journal expecting to flip thru and find the page I just made the list on. I could NOT find it. I looked and looked and looked. It was just not there. So I just stopped for a moment and it was like I knew that, that is confirmation that God took all that up and I don't have to worry about it anymore. After I realized what He did, I just laughed. Everyone around me was crying and here I am just laughing out of pure joy and at God. He just amazes me. I then, got a bracelet that should be permanent and I'm glad. I'm glad that this little neon orange bracelet gets to have a story like this of God's relentless love and protection over me. I'm just so overwhelmed by it all.
Afterwards I went out side where the sky was just simply beautiful, with all different shades of blue coming towards us. A group of us just were hanging out in the lobby singing, talking and always laughing.
We did have a good rain that carried a lot of lighting, which might of had something to do with the fire alarms going off. Nobody was freaking out, instead we were playing the ukulele, singing outside and dancing in the rain. Nothing like it. The fire department didn't know what the cause of the fire alarms was, but allowed us back into the building to go on with our lives.
