Mind Blown

IT has been such a long week. It is really awesome how much I am learning, it's really hard to post because everything is really personal. I've really been learning so much about my own heart, and what it really means to love God.

Monday and Tuesday
This week is a corporate week, so everyone goes in the Ohana Court and Darleen Cunningham, (her and her husband started YWAM) it's pretty awesome hearing her stories, and just what she has to say. This whole week is called "Dream Week". It's pretty awesome just hearing from the Lord what dreams He has placed on my heart. She has been talking a lot about faith, and what it looks like to walk out in radical faith. Having perseverance an I won't quit Spirit. Darleen talked about the disciples, and the faith that they had, and sometimes didn't have. Sometimes we think too much about the miracle and not about Jesus, what we need to do is put our eyes on Jesus and not the miracles. He doesn't hold our unbelief against us, but He is impressed when we show Him our I won't quit attitude. There is no limit on what He could do through us.

 Wednesday
Heidi Baker came to speak to us. She is so inspirational. WOW this lady loves the Lord so much. She is really awesome, her faith is inspiring. Her biggest message was, all fruitfulness flows from intimacy with God. She talked about John 15. The passage of the vine and the branches. "God wants to love you to death and kiss you to life." She shared so many incredible stories of signs and wonders that the Lord has protected her, given her exactly what she needed and was always faithful. She also said, don't look at the people around you and wish you had their "anointing" or gifts.  God made you unique in your own way, you do not need to wish you had someone else's anointing because you have your own gifts that God gave you. Try and figure out what gifts those are and learn to love God by using your gifts, and not wishing you had someone else's.


Heidi Baker shared a story about God multiplying cookies in Mozambique. During break we had cookies. Everyone was supposed to grab one but there was so many that they kept handing them out. God multiplied cookies today at YWAM! The message Heidi taught was there's always enough and don't forget to taste of the sweetness of the Lord in the midst of the business of ministry. I have tasted and I saw God is good! - This is from facebook, I copied it from someone who is in my group but it is stated so well. 

My Poland/Berlin group is looking SO incredible. I LOVE them so much already. We want to be a family, and we set our family "culture" and what we are going to try and uphold from now and on our outreach. Basically it's a list of our values and our foundation as a team. So we as a group prayed and asked the Lord what culture He wanted to set for our group. This is the list; courage, Christ-like, love, keen Listeners, honest community, prayerful people, servant leadership, transparent, attitude of gratitude.

Please keep praying for our group! We still need a lot of funds. If we each get 1,000 by tomorrow then our outreach will be $400 cheaper!
