Wouldn't it be so cool to have breakfast with Jesus in the flesh? Well, I think the next best thing is to have breakfast with Him knowing His presence is there with me. Just something I've been thinking about. :)
I've been home about 2 months now! The way time flies amazes me. It's definitely had its pros and cons, not going to lie, but it makes me so incredibly thankful for my family and all their love and support. I miss my YWAM family, the worship sessions, the cold Colorado weather, and just all the experiences. I think the hardest part has been staying disciplined and having quiet times every day. And, not beating myself up over the times that I don't have the 1-hour-soak-session-types that I like to envision every day. Something I've learned is that quiet times are great, but I can spend time with Jesus anywhere, doing anything. It doesn't just have to be sitting down reading my Bible, although that is great because we should desire to dig in to the Word. It can be while I'm driving to work, watching the sunset at the beach, or baking cookies. The most important thing is choosing to spend that time with Him; inviting Him to be there and being sensitive to what He's saying to you. Being consistent in spending time with Him on a regular basis is key, just as it is in any other relationship you have.
I'm loving being home and back in ministry with my family. We've done worship 4 weekends at different churches since I've been back. I really missed singing with my parents and watching my studly little brother, who's not so little anymore and almost 14 (what!?), rip on the bass. I'm so blessed by my family.
Also, I applied to the Phase II/School of Ministry Development at YWAM Denver this fall, and I got accepted! It's a three month school that ends just before Christmas, and I'm SOOO excited. :)
Thank you still for all your prayers!
