I never knew I was coming to Denver Colorado to get healed. I worked hard before I left to make sure I was at least some what straightened out. Some people may not ever understand how beneficial that was for me and this new season but it was. Now I come here, broken to the fact that God wants to help thru some more stuff that I had no clue was broken. I think God left that part out so that it wouldn't hinder my decision in coming. I don't know if that means I wouldn't have come but God knows and that's all that matters. All that matters is I am here and I am so glad God did what He could to bring me here. I don't need people to understand why I am here or what I will work thru while I'm here. And honestly God is still working me thru some hurt pockets I have from just the journey coming here.
That stuff is going to end up making me stronger for the people and the situations I will encounter healing others.
It's really when I think I'm strong enough to walk thru anything is when God comes to tell me I am not ready yet. Oh, this should be good!
Today I finished my creative presentation! I am speaking on adoption. Using the music video by third day called Children of God. It's going to push my time a bit but I have it where I can stop it and talk at certain times. I'm excited.

I'm sore from pulling weeds in the garden yesterday during work duty. But I'm not complaining. I love it!
I presented my creative presentation today. When I went in to set up I got a little frazzled with my time and how I would go over. My grade would drop if I chose to do so. Which I didn't. I ended up going over by 30 seconds but its a pass or fail kind of project. So I passed.
I spoke on Adoption, tying in my testimony and the adoption of my little sister. I shared the music video by third day called children of God. When I finished, most were close to tears. I aimed to hit an emotion just because its what triggers memory and a way to relate, so I did awesome.
I also made an A on my book report on "Is that really You, God? By Loren Cunningham and we also have a journal check and so I passed that too.
I'm excited!
After dinner I got to hangout at bliss (a frozen yogurt place) with Brittany. She is on staff here at YWAM but wants to get to know me.:) I love it!
This place feels more like home everyday.

This morning I was hit by a train of sorrows that have lingered over me for a long time. But God assured me to just give it to Him when I feel down about it. He makes me feel complete.
Worship was really good!
Intercession today was deep. We are praying for Libya in South Africa.
Class went well! Chris failla is speaking this week. He is really relaxed and fun. He has no destination. We are his GPS. I love that about him. Especially after Jeff Pratt. He was deep. Today Chris went deeper than I was prepared for. Thankful though that my group leader was able to explain it again so I could soak it in a little better...it was coming in sideways.
I ended my day by going to go see "After earth" with a group of YWAM siblings! It was so good. I love this family!
I am constantly being reminded by God that I'm not who I say that I am but what He says I am. It's mind blowing. I don't know exactly how to understand it or try to focus on it enough to rest upon it.

Waking up sore and tired from the day before seems like normal routine now. Quiet time is always so refreshing in the mornings.
Class was so packed with much needed information I will always hold dear to my heart. Chris Vailla is a talented speaker.

Busy yet a very relaxing day today. Worship and intercession, includes prayer over the teams on outreach.
Travel meetings and fun stuff ahead.
We made balloon animals in class which ended with loud bangs to pop them. It was very brutal to the ears but fun stuff. We learned how to do a bunch of cool craft stuff for outreach when we are with kids! I'm excited!
It was a very rainy day here in Arvada Colorado! I love it!
After dinner was kingdom night but instead of going to that a group of us took our laundry to the laundry Matt. We leave tomorrow for Eagle rock and won't be back till Thursday after dinner. It should be fun!
Ill update you all when I get back!:)
