Rain

It rained today. Reminds me of back home in Washington. Last night we had a crazy thunder and lightning storm right above our base. It was crazy. Shook the room. I fell asleep ok though. Back to today. Awesome, the lecture and lectures all this week have been amazing. Jesus has been so awesome. I love my quiet times with him. Its the best. We’ve been learning about Hearings the voice of God, also about worship and what it is. Amazing. Today our speaker was teaching on Humility and about the fear of the Lord. Its been awesome to evaluate my life and see areas i struggle in and take them to Jesus. A big thing i want is to let my pride die. I want to see true Humility in my life. I can see God already working on that with me. Its been beautiful here though. I love seeing how amazing my Creator is.

Castle Hill

Its been awesome here this past week. Studying the word of God and experiencing His creation. People here are so awesome and its been great building new friendships. Jesus is so great and wonderful. Yesterday i went to castle hill will the whole bdts group and experienced the surrounding beauty. Mts, boulders, green valleys. Some people bouldered, others went on treks around the sourounding mountains while others returned to do some rock climbing. I had a blast. One of the things God taught me yesterday is how small i am and how huge his creation is. He is so perfect and i am so imperfect. Later in the day i got to spend some time with some friends playing a game called catch phrase. Jesus is so amazing and i love him so much.

I’m here in Oxford

Just got to oxford two days ago. My flight from sanfrancisco was crazy. 14 hours and some nerve suspending turbulance. I prayed quite a bit on this flight. When i got to Christchurch it was awesome to see staff from ywam oxford waiting with a sign. It is so gorgeous and breathtaking here. The leaders here are so awesome. Yesterday was sunday. I went to church at a local babtist church right down the road. It was so awesome. The Holy Spirit’s presence was so evident there. I enjoyed it so much and the people are so kind. In dts so far we’ve had orientation going over our schedule for the next five months. Today the staff gave their testimonies which was very cool. Each person had an amazing story. They all blessed me. God has totally confirmed that i’m supposed to be here. I’ve been building relationships pretty fast and i’m excited what Jesus is going to teach me.
