Eagle Rock
I'm pretty sure I don't deserve a day like today. Actually I know I don't but I'm glad I serve a good God who loves to bless His children!
We're up at Eagle Rock the mountain campus of YWAM Denver. It is one of the most beautiful places I've been. Maybe it's just everything together that makes it so beautiful... being in the mountains, being able to relax, and just doing life together with my closest friends. We're one large family and I love it here.
From about 11 to 3 this afternoon we hiked up Eagle Rock mountain. It was breathtaking. I went with my 3 friends Matt, Shawn, and Krista. It was somewhat strenuous but the view was worth it. I'm telling you, sitting up at the top of that mountain with my friends talking about how great God is was one of the finer moments of life. Yah, I miss home but God has given me such immense grace to be able to handle this time that I can't even believe it. It's so much easier to praise God among awesome beauty. After dinner there was a full rainbow across the mountains. It was amazing.
This is going to be a great week. Chill class times, running in the mountains, and my parents coming will ensure the greatness of this week.
Again I love and miss all of you!!!

Week 7
Ok, so I said that last week was the fastest, well I stand corrected. I seriously don't know where the days went. This has been my favorite week of classes by far. We were super blessed to have Dean Sherman come in and speak on Spiritual Warfare. I learned immense amounts of knowledge, a lot of practical knowledge.
God has blessed me a ton this week. I got a backpack and a sleeping bag.... for free!! The johnsons went above and beyond and bought me that stuff and more. I don't even know how to be thankful enough! I just really really feel very blessed.
My parents come in 6 days!! Hallelujah! I can't wait to see them. I've actually be homesick the past couple days. It'll be incredible to be refreshed by them.... and have my mom help me pack. : )
We leave for India in 17 days! Can't elaborate more because I'm speechless for now.
I love you all and miss you guys!

Week 6
Sorry i have been such a bad blogger recently.
This week has been interesting. Our topic was the Holy Spirit and our teacher was a man on staff. I learned a lot, but not necessarily in the classroom. A lot of the learning was done on my own as I really sought God on what I believed. I have been putting God in a box and I now realize that I couldn't possibly try to limit God in any way. He is so big and so good. Everything he does for us is the most loving thing possible and that is the most amazing fact to know!
It has been one of the fastest weeks yet! We leave for India in 22 days!! I'm so not ready. At least in the "what to bring" sense. I need a good backpack...not too big...not too small and it's driving me crazy!
Last night we went camping.... in a lodge, at the mountain campus of YWAM. This place was amazing!! It is so beautiful there. I slept under the stars with the chilly colorado mountain air blowing against my face. This morning after one of the best nights sleep and breakfast, we had a mini silent retreat. Basically you just go out into the beauty of nature for a couple hours and just talk with God. It was pretty cool. After packing up our stuff, we headed home for lunch. A nap later and here I sit. I hope this was a sufficient update for now. Love you all!
