Hello everybody J
It has been a while!
So guess what… I'm in YWAM. AGAIN. And it’s amazing.
There is a slight back story which all started a couple of
weeks ago…. When I was in Auckland… Actually it starts a bit further back then
that! When I first came back from my last YWAM experience I felt God say that
He would call me to what was next… So I was like ‘SWEET! Yah God turn me into a
woman of faith! I wanna live by FAITH!’
God answers prayers.
Sooo like two weeks ago when I was up in Auckland, had my
Jesus time and had the random thought go through my head “Go and visit Elisa
down in Tauranga”….
Then went….
And then had this overwhelming desire to be a part of the
school that she was doing (Called ‘Serephim’s Cry’, a school of music and
worship)…
Then had a few people come up to me and say “I don’t know
why, but I feel like you’re meant to be on this school”…
Then had my parents blessing in all of this… (a miracle in
itself)
Then had my work let me leave without having to complete my
two weeks notice, had random people give my anonymous envelope’s of money, and
had quite a few people come and give me
pictures and words that God had given them for me all pointing towards me doing
this Seraphim’s Cry school and I was convinced. This was the next move, and
every door was opened to enable me to go.
BOOOM! So I packed and left in literally about a week and
half and now I’m up here just loving life! And boy! God is moooovvviiinnngg….
So lemme tell you a little bit about life up here! I’m
crammed in a room designed for four people to live in with five other girls!!
It makes life very exciting and cozy J
I love ma girls! We’ve got Elisa the sassy German, Irene the K pop loving
American, Kyndal the cute country girl from Georgia, Ariel the fierce, Brooke
Fraser loving gal from Louisiana and the beautiful Faith… who’s a KIWI!!
Wooooh!!
Anyway… we’ve already had some crack up times like having to
get all Bear Grylls and exterminate a whole bunch of ants who thought invading our
room would be a fun afternoon activity! DANG IT! We also love having a little
boogie every now and then!
Hmmm what else is there… Oh yes… the NEIGBOURS! Our
relationship with guys next door started off innocently… what with the
occasionally lullaby being sung through the wall and “Could we please borrow a
cup of sugar?” type stuff… but I couldn’t help but notice things had begun to
change when I spied Andy standing outside our door trying to coax us out with a
huge fire hose in his hands! Ready for attack Well… if this is how it is Andy…
then this means WAR!
Hmmm Jesus! Wow… God is already changing, growing and
stretching and blowing my mind! Like I came with the rather proud attitude of “I
don’t have that much more to learn about God…” BAHAHAHA!!
Well… That’s definitely not the case… God spoke to me pretty
clearly about that and was just like “Hannah… You haven’t even scratched the
surface on who I am… Dive into the ocean of my love and I’m going to take you
on the most thrilling adventure of discovering even more of my heart!”
BOOM! So that’s what He’s been doing! Blowing my mind… Teaching
me yet again how to receive… because… the extent in which we know (experience
intimately and intellectually) how much God loves us, will be the extent in
which we love God…. WOOOW!!
He’s been bringing me back to that truth that a relationship
with God is not transactional (“God I’ll do this so you have to do this”) but
completely and utterly relational…. Hahaha man… How I love You Jesus!
God also gave me the verse through several people… “ I pray
that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through his
Spirit in your inner being.” –Ephesians 3:16
Flip! God is that seriously what you’re intending to do?!!
WOOOOW :D!!
Also God has totally been growing and stretching in worship…
haha by putting me and Ariel on worship leading all of the worship times at the
base which is quite a lot, for the next few weeks… HAHAHA! At first I was like “what??!!
So much pressure” but then God was like “I’m going to bring you joy in this and
strengthen you… just bring your loaves and fishes and I’ll multiply it!” And
that’s exactly what He’s been doing! He’s so faithful… and I love it! AND Him J And He totally blew my
mind with the revelation that Worship is a DANCE!!!
Just like everything about God it’s completely relational!
Worship is a dance with God! Like we just totally surrender to Him and then He
dances with us! FLIP! That’s incredible…
Anyway… sorry this blog took so long to happen, and I’ll end
my musing and ramblings here…
Wow this is super long….
And now even longer… HAHAHAHA... I got to see my Hannah from Tennessee :) lalalala
Peace out y’all!!
Oh and by the way… we found out where we’re going on
outreach….
Wait for it… MALAYSIA!! AAAHHHHH super stoked.
