PERU + life updates

Hey hey!! Life has been amazing, but also so incredibly busy. YWAM has far exceeded all my expectations in that it is beyond incredible. The Lord has been working so evidently and it has been so beautiful. I have SO many life updates for y’all.

First,

MY OUTREACH LOCATION IS PERU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the end of June I will be leaving with a small team from my fire & fragrance school here in Kona to go to Peru. We will be there for a little over two months. While being there, we will be traveling on the Amazon River, stopping at remote villages. At the villages we will share the Gospel and seek to bring revival to those who already know Jesus. I cannot wait to see the mighty ways the Lord will work during this time. Please continue keeping me in your prayers and my team as we prepare to go and do the Lord’s call on our lives. I appreciate each of you!

Secondly, the Lord has been doing so much work in my life. He has brought so much healing, freedom, and redemption to brokenness in my life. I have made incredible friends that are so hungry for the Lord and truly desire to know Him more. I also joined a music track where I am learning how to lead music and focus on vocals, guitar, and song writing. In addition, I work at a coffee shop here which is literally a dream come true. The coffee shop is called Banyan Tree Cafe and I absolutely love working there. Everyday is so busy and filled with so much time with God, && I love it.

The biggest thing that the Lord has been teaching me is how much He desires for us to come to Him like little children. Children have such an innocence and beauty to them in that they trust so easily. To be vulnerable, past hurts have prohibited me from seeing God as trustworthy, but the Lord has totally redeemed my view of Him. I understand now that God is far beyond trustworthiness because He will never forsake us. He deserves my trust. In addition, I have realized the extremity of my lack of self-worth. I didn’t really realize until lately how much I disliked myself. That sounds terrible, but I want people that have felt this way to know that they are not alone in those feelings. I allowed circumstances and events to make me feel not good enough and absolutely worthless. I hated the way I looked, I felt stupid, and I felt like my voice didn’t matter. All these feelings were from wounds that I didn’t give to God. God broke down these walls with His perfect love and has shown me that I can be a child again. The beautiful little girl that is constantly dancing and in awe of her loving Father. He can heal and redeem anyone fully and completely. The Fathers sees you and He loves you and He thinks you are so beautiful. I am truly learning what it means to be Christ’s beloved.

Isaiah 44:22 “I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.”

So that’s my update for now!! I truly cannot wait to keep sharing with y’all all that the Lord does and teaches me during this time. He is so good and life with Him is so sweet.

Love,

The Good Shepherd ~ Passion Translation

David’s poetic praise to God

Yahweh is my best friend and my shepherd.

I always have more than enough.

2He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love.

His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss.

That’s where he restores and revives my life.

He opens before me the right path

and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness

so that I can bring honor to his name.

Even when your path takes me through

the valley of deepest darkness,

fear will never conquer me, for you already have!

Your authority is my strength and my peace.

The comfort of your love takes away my fear.

I’ll never be lonely, for you are near.

You become my delicious feast

even when my enemies dare to fight.

You anoint me with the fragrance of your Holy Spirit;

you give me all I can drink of you until my cup overflows.

So why would I fear the future?

Only goodness and tender love pursue me all the days of my life.

Then afterward, when my life is through,

I’ll return to your glorious presence to be forever with you!
