Week 3

Well, I write to you again. Week 3 is over! I am still trying to come to terms with how fast the days are passing. This week we heard from Faith Dutton from the YWAM Kona Base. The topic was "Relationships". It was a really eye opening week. We learnt about obviously relationships but also aspects of God. I rededicated my life to Christ, which was awesome!
We had a funny time, when Faith asked us all to say what we wanted in our husband/wife, she wrote all these things down on the whiteboard ( such as faithful, trustworthy, loving, selfless, serving etc etc) and then she said to us..." ok then, so to find the one, you must be the one."
I'm sure the whole room burst into giggles, how selfish were we?? Thinking we could just expect this in someone else but not actually be like that. I really had never thought of it like that and so that was really cool.
She also said that you should find your call before you get married, so that you actually marry someone whose call is like yours. I learnt alot this week and I really enjoyed it. I also cleared everything with God ( as in confessed in public,before God, before man), but I know that I will have to continue to do that as we all make mistakes. :)
A few other things, I exercise 5 days a week now, so for those who know me, that is a huge achievement. It feels great, but my legs really hurt ( which I hear is a good sign). I have made some really close, beautiful friends who I get along with really well. It's great to have such amazing people living with you :). I'm also learning how to pray out loud and pray for others and become more confident in that area. I'm sooo excited! its only week 3!!
Thank you all for your prayers and support. Please keep praying for me that God would continue to do a work in me.
Will write again next week!

  1. That sounds like a really good eye opener. Definitely some really sound advice there, thanks for sharing :)

    Another thing I learnt about relationships is that its not what you get out of it but what you can do for someone else. So I guess it goes along the same lines of being that person.
