Hello Hawaii

So after waiting three long months, I have finally arrived. Yep....I have stepped on to the beautiful beaches of the island most people are envious of. I however as my plane was flying over the island was thinking...."oh boy....I already have island fever!" Not so much faith, but that was my thought. I arrived on Wednesday and things have not stopped since then. Our students arrive in two weeks and staff training is in full force, but it is soooooooo good to be back :) Thursday morning we had worship and some teaching about what it is to be a discipler and the privledge that it is to be called to this ministry (not that I have ever taken this call lightly, but it hit me that this is not my right as a christian, it is my privledge to show others how to serve Him, and bring them up in the ways of God) and also the question of who am I. I have sometimes asked that question and have come at it from a David perspective of humility in saying to God...you know me and how I was put together and you also know my history and yet you choose me...who am I that I should have this favor. But more often than not I come at it from the Moses perspective of not really knowing who God is and the calling I have on my life and telling God that He has the wrong person. WHO ARE YOU?

Today was a little less active, but we spent the day with Dawn and Pieter (my bosses) and in a time of prayer for eachother and in fellowship with one another. It was an awesome time where the Lord was speaking directly to each one of us through a woman named Amy. God has some really cool things planned for my life and I can't wait.....difficulties? Of course, but by the choices I will make, there will be joy, healing and success!

I will write again once the students have arrived, but I just wanted to let you all know that things are going well and the time has come.

Much love!
