Ywam weekly update

Hey friends and family. Thank you all for joining me on this journey at ywam. Stepping out of my comfort zone isn’t normally something I am fond of but God called me to ywam and I couldn’t see myself anywhere else. Coming into this journey the enemy really tried to tempt me to give up and not go where God was leading me. I was faced with some of the most intense anxiety I have ever faced before. Even through the really hard struggles and hard panic attacks I am right where God needs me. The first day (arrival day) was very different for me. I stepped off the plane and had no fear. God gave me so much peace and comfort knowing that these people were about to become my new family. Waking up the next day I was hit with a lot of doubt and fear and questioning why God called me to be there. Since that moment God has been breaking me down in the best way possible and breaking me free of a lot of strongholds that have been hindering my relationship with Him. I have felt personal physical healing with anxiety. And even broke a stronghold and am learning to allow people in and love me, for the longest time I have had a guard up with my heart and not allowing people in but during some of the messages here I have learned to allow Gods love come in and show me what it means to be loved the right way. Gods love is something that we don’t have to strive for nor do anything for it, it is always there. God loves even if we sometimes don’t love him back. This really stuck out to me and now I am truly falling deeply in love with my creator and father Jesus. I am more then excited to see What God is going to do while I am here for the next 6 months and ready to go and do whatever my fathers asks of me.

The word Aloha in the hawaiian language alo- means meeting face to face and Ha- means breathing life into one another. So the full definition of Aloha means meeting face to face and breathing life into each other. This is how the Hawaiian people greet each other and it is how Gods people should be greeting everyone. To be breathing positive life into each other. To encourage each other In faith and their walks in faith.

Since being here I have met so many amazing people. My roommates are on the younger side but they have already given me so much positive advice in my faith journey. The people at ywam are some of the most God fearing people that I have ever met and it is so awesome to see Gen Z so on fire for God and willing to go out to the nations to share the gospel in unreached places. People here truly have surrendered there lives to Christ in so many unique ways. To truly surrender like it says in Matthew 19:21 “sell everything,... and follow me.” God is calling us to drop everything and to follow him and that is the kind of people here at ywam. They left everything to come and follow Jesus’ calling. I am apart of that people group that has been called by God and I am so happy to be in the comfort of the king.
