HIT THE GROUND RUNNING

ATTENTION EVERYONE!
This is the time for me to live out what God has called me to do. In a few days I will officially be a YWAM Honolulu DTS Staff. I will be a Leader to young people some older than me and some younger, and we will grow in the Lord together, seek God together, pray together, succeed together, fail together. I have been waiting patiently so long for this day. Literally I have been waiting 561 for this time to come. Day one of my DTS in Salem, Oregon I knew that this was what I wanted to do with my life. I have to be honest when I say I am freaking excited. My goal with this goal is as follows. I want to hit the ground running. I want to prayerfully enter this time of Leadership. As I have been praying into this time of my life the lord has spoken a few powerful leadership things for me. First thing is that I want a servants heart. I want to serve above all else. I want to see the students from Gods eyes and serve them as much as I can and any way possible. The next thing is a heart of compassion. I want Gods heart for these students. I want to be broken to tears over these students. Because thats how much God loves us. His love for us moves mountains in our lives. his love never runs dry it never fades and it is always there. And God has radical eternal plans for these students. He has called them to YWAM Honolulu to seek him and grow in him and it is my responsibility to lead them. God wants to use this group of people to shake the nations up for Jesus. He wants to bring his heavens down into this evil planet and stirr us for his kingdom, with these students. These students have passion to be released, they have dreams, goals, visions, desires to be released. They have so much ahead of them and I am here for them and solely them. This April DTS is not about me its about these students. Students who have made sacrifices to come. These students are leaving their family they are leaving their friends, boyfriends and girlfriends and jobs and careers and security. They are leaving it all behind for Jesus. And I get to be their leader. What a privelige it is to be here and staff. I dont care what troubles come my way, what kinds of attacks come my way the Lord will endure WITH ME. And together God and I can do anything. Phillpians 4:13 has changed my life. It says " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" and I say to you full heartedly that I can and will do all things that God calls me to do. God has called me to be a Leader of this DTS and be a staff and pour into these kids, God has called me to serve them and love them and have his heart for them. So anything less of that is Disobedience to me. I write this note to ask you to pray for me. Your prayers will give me heavenly strength, heavenly boldness, courage, peace, joy, patience, etc... So please keep me in your prayers as I serve as a Staff.
