Break my heart for what breaks yours

Since the cholera outbreak in Haiti we've REALLY been interceding for them... But today, it was to a whole new level.. I really felt my heart break for the people of Haiti... Theres an opportunity to go help staff at a base in Haiti after my outreach.. Maybe Gods calling me to that? I dont know.. but please pray for Haiti, they're desperate.

Cambodia

We had our meetings tonight to figure out where we were going for outreach... CAMBODIA it is :) I am beyond excited... We are flying to Thailand and spending approximately 10 days there... Then we will take a bus ride over to Cambodia! There is also a possibility of us going to Laos for a little while.. 80% of the outreach will be spent in an orphanage!!! Our leader is April -- she is from the Philippines! My team is... Daniel, Mary, Seth, Dani, Dax, Rachel, Becca, and Mimi!

They decided to give us a scavenger hunt to figure out where we're going... but at our second clue, they forgot to put the next one.. haha. So we (me, Mary, Dax, and Rachel) looked around where the pigs are for like a good 20 minutes... We were SO sweaty... but we finally found the rest of our team... :)

I cant wait to hear more! Thanks for all your prayers and support :) it's greatly appreciated!!

Walk with God

So last night i took a nap at around 8pm because i havent really slept at all this week. I woke up at like 10 and was like -- I'm going to take a walk with God.. and Just chat with him about EVERYTHING.. and thats what I did! I walked around campus because we're not really supposed to leave by ourselves after it gets dark.. I found this one spot where i could see the moon perfectly along with the water.. I was like all right, everyone keeps talking about you speaking to them in nature -- so i said bring it! hah.. It was the coolest thing. I literally had CHILLS the whole time.. It was awesommmee. The clouds were like in the shape of Asia.. I was like hmm i think that means i am supposed to pray for asia! so i did, especially India. Then I felt/saw some other things.. It was really exciting..

I got back from my walk sooo happy and had SO much energy. it was GREAT :) Just thought i'd share that with yall.

Have a great weekend!

Amy Sollars

This week has been SO overwhelming! In such a good way... God showed me his love towards me... and it was exactly what I needed.. I physically felt him wrap his arms around me! AHH. This week was a challenge for me because so much was going on in the room that i had to close my eyes the whole time and block everything out.. It was really hard but I felt so close to God -- because i wasnt worried about anything that was going on other than just focusing on him!

Amy said she usually prophesied over individuals but she felt that God had SO much in store for our crew... That we would come in contact with leaders of countries and we would CHANGE nations... Even typing it out I get chills! She said a majority of you will stay with YWAM and some of you will become doctors and go back in the mission field.. I cant wait to see what I end up doing!

Those words sound like they could be made up because its pretty generic.. but this whole week she would go to different people and say stuff to them that only they know -- it even happened to me! She is the real deal. ahhh.

On a different note, in the very little time we had off it was great. A group of us are super obsessed with kemps! The best card game ever... but me and my partner, mary, are super competitive! Sometimes it gets bad. haha. But we are a great team.. Last night we were like, lets sit on the hammock! Well the two girls we were with forgot to tell us someone broke it earlier and just kind of fixed it... so we sat down, mary had a cup in her hand, and then SNAPPPP it broke. Mary got soaked.. but boy were we laughing hard..

Day 2

God continues to amaze me. Today was seriously indescribable. He showed up so powerful that I didnt know what to do other than weep... Seriously i cant put it in words..

Then tonight we had worship/ministry... I've never felt Gods arms around me so tight... BEST FEELING EVER.

I love it here, I love what God is doing...

Holy spirit

Oh my gosh... So we are talking about hearing from God and prophesying... Amy, our speaker, just gave her life story and we havent really dived in too much.. but she was praying and then the holy spirit fell and a guy was crying so she had him go up and she started praying for him. She hasnt met him, heard of him, or anything just keep that in mind.

We heard his testimony a few days ago and know everything that has been going on in his life/past. She starts praying over him and pretty much said everything that he told us. It was ridiculous. I've never seen something like that.. Like not that much. I dont even know how to completely explain it!!

I cant wait to hear more and learn more!! :)

Weekend number 2

Well this weekend was just fabulous! Friday night me, Mary, Serra, Daniel, Jon, and Ashton pulled an all nighter playing Kemps (a card game with partners)! Me and mary had the most AMAZING sign EVER. The boys kept getting mad because we were kicking boootyyy :) we took a break at like 3 and went back to our room, very quietly, to get some snacks.. We found out that Daniel eats when he is upset :P soo he ate some skittles, reeces pieces, goldfish, cheeze its.. and some other stuff i cant remember right now.. SO funny. Then we went to the iron man start which they made a huge deal about how we should go to the start because its SO cool! So we went at 5 ... yeah they blew a horn and then went in the water... I'm glad we stayed up all night... but that was lammee :P

We spent the whole day after that at the beach! We hitch hiked for the first time(we as in me, mary, and cam!).. The guy was super nice! His name was Chris.. and when i told him i was a christian he seemed pretty interested, i mean of course he had his guard up... but still! what a start.. Hopefully we'll see him again and i'll be able to share more and more about Jesus! Then we hitch hiked to a liquor store because it was the only place to get water around town.. The guy that picked us up there was also SUPER nice!! We got the most AMAZINg icecream... it was ben and jerrys called half baked! it was fudge brownies, cookie dough and chocolate/vanilla swirled.. YUM. Then we got picked up by people who make fun of christians.. that was interesting! but oh well!

We had to work the 6 to midnight shift at the iron man triathlon.. we seriously fell asleep standing up! We really werent doing anything so they let us leave at 1045! So that was definitely a good thing.

Today we went to the beach again! -- finally getting a little tan! basically the whole justice group went! :) the waves were huge.. like taller than me sometimes! it was so much fun... except when they would play the game we've been playing for awhile which is if you say someones name and they look at you and shoot you with a dart you have to die... so yeah.. it got a little rough sometimes :P

Tonight we went to Daniels sisters house, even though she wasnt there, and played 4 men on a couch with her two roommates! Girls owned 3 to 1 :) thank you daniel! (he messed up a couple times)...

Tomorrow we start a new topic in class :) its going to be great! Cant wait to share what God does!
