So Far...So Awesome!

Well I just finished my first week as staff here at the Lakeside, MT YWAM Base and it actually has exceeded my expectations so far. If there is one thing that I can say about this place and the leadership here it is that they really value doing things with excellence. This week it has just been neat to here from different people around the base who are in charge of different ministries and gifted in different areas and kind of get acquainted with all that the base does here. God has done some incredible things here with YWAM Lakeside and there are so many exciting things still to come in the near future.I just know that this is where the Lord wants me for this season of my life and I am so excited about the people that I am surrounded by and the wisdom that I will be able to glean just by learning from them and ministering alongside them.

We have started our staff training for the School of Biblical Studies and have our list of students to begin praying for them. For the next month I will be helping prepare for students to come and also preparing my teachings for this quarter. I will be teaching two books per quarter and my first two are Philippians and James. I am nervous and excited all at the same time!! It is going to be an amazing growing experience for me in so many ways but I know that God will be there to guide me and give me the wisdom I need if I continue to rely on Him.

It has been a big transition but I feel really good about this next season. I am expecting God to do some really incredible things not only in my life but in the lives of the students and the rest of the staff here as well. I am really excited and can't wait to see all that the Lord has in store for all of us during this next school.

Thank you for your prayers and support! Love you all!
