Today was pretty good, I woke up around 6, I was the first one up in my room of 8 girls. It's hard to keep quiet in the morning because everything creeks and we also don't have a light in the bathroom. I also have been waking up really itchy and have been itchy all day. I went to walmart and bought new sheets and a mattress cover because I think it has something to do with my sheets.
Today we had orientation. We got to give away our cultural gifts and we had to take our shoes off because we were now walking on holy ground, according to the Hawaiian culture. We went into the Ohana Court... (if you have ever seen the disney movie lilo and stitch you know ohana means family.) It was really cool, the Hawaiian people sang for us and we introduced our different schools to them, and we all got to stand. My school Fire and Fragrance is the biggest school on campus with over 100 people. It's pretty cool the past few days have been all about meeting people and learning about how they got here. God has provided so many different miracles in getting people here it is really incredible. We serve an awesome God.
We had a time of worship today, one of the University of the Nations school leaders spoke about being uncomfortable with God. He gave a great demonstration involving three people. one person was standing up facing the ground and the two people behind him were holding back his arms. The speaker said, this is how we need to be with God uncomfortable, but willing to inch closer and closer to the ground knowing God will never let us go. When he was finished with the message we all worshiped together. It was so beautiful. Everyone worships in their own way, and you can see people are not afraid to worship God with all that they are. Some people were dancing, others shouting, some just praying... Whatever it was God was being Glorified.
There was a ton more to talk about but I'm so tired, I'll post more tomorrow!
All Glory Honor Power is Yours!
Amen
