Aloha :)

I hope you all are having a wonderful summer :) So phase 2 has been going so well, man o man. This week we have a guy named Ray Hughes speaking on worship. Today was the first day of class with him and I don't know how many people were touched by God through him. He reminds me of my grandpa :) So sweet and tender!He is such a meek man but the power of the Lord comes through like the wind! You don't see it at first but you can feel the power and force behind it! He was talking about the sound in our generation. How God created all of us to release the sound that is inside of us for the glory of his name. That it is all about him and receiving full glory. He shared scripture and 7 Hebrew words for praise. Among all the talking he did, it made it almost impossible to take notes, and was just a time of soaking it in. God was really speaking to me about the sound I carry and to not be afraid to release it, that he eagerly desires for me to.

On a different note, I found out what my outreach location will be! I am going back to the east coast of America for 2 months, then to Israel for one month :)

I am so excited! This whole new season of life has been so good so far, but really challenging. Challenging in the sense of God has been showing me what it looks like to stand firm in him. And with that, to allow him to be Lord of my life. Truly Lord of my life. There is a dynamic of hearing and being taught something in the classroom, then living it out. Applying the teaching to my life has been where I have been having revelation of my heart. It has been so good

Tonight we have Monday Night ministry night! Which is my favorite because we get to worship God for like 3 hours!

Have a blessed week!

Phase 2 day 4 :)

Hi all, I hope you are doing well!

Well this week is almost over already, it has gone by so quickly. This morning we had gotten feedback from our school leaders about our outreach options and turns out as a school, we have a slight situation on our hands lol. But it is nothing that some clear direction from God and time in prayer in seeking his heart can't influence and fix. They gave us our options on Tuesday and gave us until Wednesday to turn them in, and here they are:

1. Team to the East Coast of America, and Israel

2. Haiti

3. China and then Thailand

4. Japan - an extended time there

5. West coast of America to the East Coast

So yes we all need to re pray and ask the Lord for his timing and for confirmation with the places. I personally felt before phase 2 started a strong and unusual inkling in my heart toward Israel, but has a super strong tug at the East Coast again and when I was previously there, I was sensing that at some point I was going to be back there, so we will see. I feel pretty confident in the time that I have taken it before the Lord in prayer, so I am excited to see where we all end up!

Today in class Loren Cunningham ( the founder of YWAM) got a chance to come and speak, which was really a in depth and challenging talk :) Really challenging us to be revived inside of our hearts before we can see revival in society. Then tonight at out Thursday night worship service Lou Engle spoke and really wrecked a lot of hearts for the cause of prayer and intercession. He said something along the lines of how the Lord is looking for a place to dwell and that he is going to find that dwelling place at a house of prayer, that cries our for him and contends with him. WOW! Crazy crazy. He has us stand up and pray for Revival to come to America he has us all at the same time declare to the Lord our hearts toward. Whet I felt to pray was for America to wake up and turn her heart back to God. We were founded by forefathers who loved God and valued the Bible and lived by it, so our foundation is on the Bible and the Lord. If only America will listen to God, he is singing over us as a nation and is waiting for a response. Yes I understand there is a lot of TALK about revival and this huge awakening coming to America, and it is easy to set our eyes on the BIG idea and hype of revival and not look at the practical side of it all. And our school leader Andy Byrd was sharing earlier in the week and the Lord has been giving me revelation of the meaning of Revival and what it is. Revival is the heart begin revived and brought back to life. And on the spiritual side of it I took it as me personally being revived and awakened to who God is so I can therefore know him and make him known. Funny cuz that is YWAM's moddo to know God and make him known, but before I knew that it was the cry of my heart. It is for sure cool to be here and see how God has been preparing me for this season of my life right now as long as for DTS, almost my whole life.

Lately God has been reminding me of my childhood a lot, which I really valued my childhood so it is cool to look back and see where I was then, dead to God but that because I have seen who he is, repented of staying in darkness and saying yes to him inside of my heart to begin an amazing relationship with the creater of the Universe, seeing I am alive now, is really awesome! Well I could go on and on but i'm going to get going!

Blessings and revelation of the father!

Hello there friends :)

I hope you are all doing so well :) It's summer time woo hoo, which is always a bonus. Anyway just thought I would give a small update on what all I have been up to. We started class today with Andy Byrd, our school leader speaking. Which is always a message that increases the flame for Jesus and revival and reformation to the church then to the world all starting with our hearts. WOW so intense! Andy literally breaths fire when he talks- not in the physical. And that revival with in people is not a volume or a personality but a reality! Man o man, the Lord is doing so many things in the hearts of us students and in the world. In the words of Andy Byrd it is an unpresidinted movement what the Lord is doing in this generation, by generation I'm not limiting the definition to an age group of young people. But a people group who burn for the Lord and to see him have his glory. Okay enough about what I'm learning lol . On a different not I am loving my roommates, they are all such beautiful women of the God. 4 of us are in Fire and Fragrance phase2 and then one other amazing girl is in ESL which stands for English as a second language. Funny fact, we have id badges that we have to show when we get our food, and on the badge it says our school as FIRE 2, it made some of us laugh. Tonight we are having our regular monday night ministry night which is always good. It is where we worship and minister to the heart of the Lord and sometimes it looks like us ministering to one another as well. My heart is filled with anticipaion for all that goes on this quarter.

Sneak Peak @ Phase II

Hi there friends!

I am liking this whole blog thing :) it's pretty nice....lol

Anyway yes, so it is the weekend prior to phase II school starting, and my heart is anticipating everything that the Lord has for our school. Tonight we had testimony sharing night with our school. It was funny because looking around the classroom, I noticed how small we are lol. Compared to the DTS size of Fire and Fragrance, it makes me laugh, but I totally love it! :) Having a smaller atmoshpere will be nice to get to know people on a deeper level. I am missing my outreach leader Lizzy and some of my other friends from DTS, even just seeing some people's faces is what I am missing. God is goo though and new friendships are just as exciting now as they were in the beginning of DTS.

Hello there everyone!

Well this is my first post so I hope you enjoy :) I arrived here in Kona two days ago to begin Fire and Fragrance PhaseII school of revival and reformation on Monday the 11th. I am staying in new housing from where we were during out DTS. It is more home like and bigger! There are about 35 of us students which is a lot smaller than our DTS but it is nice. It is a good different that is for sure. We don't have as large of variety as far the nations represented in our class but everyone so far is really awesome! Because we all have done a DTS we all are ready to go even deeper with the Lord for the second phase. Tonight we are having a desert night and sharing testimonies. Which is going to be so nice to hear other people's stories. I am praying that during this phase, I will allow the Lord to do all that he wants. Esp. on his timing that I will be right in step with his plans and timing of it all. I am anxious and anticipating to see dive in! If you all could keep my in your prayers, I would really appreciate it! I hope that you all enjoyed hearing about how I am doing so far, I will try my best to keep this updated but I can't make any promises.

Blessings to you all!
