Life Happens.

ALOHA!

This week's speaker's really focused on opening up our old wounds and baggage, and allowing God to clean out our hearts. To be honest, it was such a hard week for me.

I had to work on accepting God's grace, and Jesus' death on the cross. My personality is very work-based and man pleasing. I have always struggled with resting in God's arms, instead of trying to work and earn His unconditional love. I now know that I believed lies from the enemy. The enemy knows my heart, and He twists and tweaks the truth into something deformed and unrecognizable. I couldn't even recognize my heart and pain because of all the baggage I have tried to hide. By God's grace, the Holy Spirit gently drew me to my knees and brought my dark sin to the surface.

I have repented my sin of trying to earn God's love. His grace is efficient, His yoke is easy and light. I dropped my weight, and am now trusting in God's strength instead of mine.

I also was able to forgive, be forgiven, and walk with the knowledge that God loves me just that way I am.

I was baptized at Paia Bay by my leader, Ashley Montgomery. I feel as light as a feather and am able to listen to the voice of God so much more clearly!

Mahalo for all the prayers! We leave for Borneo soon, so I have some more prayer requests!!

- To have a desire and heart for the people of Borneo to know God! I am already getting visions of the children there, I am so excited just to love on those precious kids!

-Team Unity. The enemy knows how to attack, so please pray that our team is unified in Christ and focuses on our mission: To know God and make Him known.

Praise to God! This week had so much Spiritual warfare that I was almost ready to call home and ask for a plane ticket back. However, God has been speaking and comforting me. I am more excited than ever and can't wait for the future! All glory to God!

I love you guys. I wish you all can see where I live, the people here are so amazing! I meet so many amazing locals on the beach, and sometimes we get to talk about Jesus! Praise God!

Love,
