A little tiny update!

Well hello there! I was having quiet time this morning and realized how amazing the last week has been. I have learned so much in lectures (last week was about the Character and Nature of God and this week is about Hearing God's Voice and Intercession) and can't wait to share it with you when I get home. I am beginning to understand how big God's love is, and it is changing my perspective about life/ faith/ my relationship with God x 10000. Also, this week has been full of loving/ laughing/ connecting with the girls in my house...they are a dream come true and such a blessing. 

Anyhow, after thinking about all this, I decided I should probably update my blog today :). Plus, bonus...instead of pictures I am adding videos so you can get a glimpse of my life a tiny. 

This one is of our dinner time "Thank You" prayer. Some of the girls were out this night, but it gives you a pretty good idea of how much joy there is in this house. In this group, there are girls from Canada, the US, Switzerland, and Sweden. Sweet!

This video is from this weekend...our days here are really busy with lectures, serving, etc, but our nights and weekends are free. Horray! Anyhow, we have a lot of fun being silly and just chilling out, so here is a video of that. It probably won't make any sense, but maybe just try to appreciate the atmosphere. :) The boys are from the Surfer school (not strangers, don't you worry)
(At the YWAM Pismo Beach and Central Coast base, there are 2 DTSs going on right now - the Justice and the Creative Arts one (which I and all these girls are in), and a Surfing one (which a lot of boys are in that live in a house a few miles away).  Our schools do a lot of things together (lectures, family dinners, etc) so we are all pretty close.)


And last but not least is a video of me getting distracted from my quiet time because of a lovely noise coming from the other side of our house. haha. So you get a little tour of me walking through too. Cheers! They just kept singing and singing random songs for an hour. i love it. :)
