DTS SEPTEMBER 2009!

Aloha Everyone! Mahalo for reading my blog hope you enjoy,

Okay so I have been here in YWAM Honolulu for a solid month now and I am so excited for what God is doing. I am currently staffing DTS and the students have been here for 1 week. Us as staff have been together for 3 weeks now meeting and praying and getting to know one another and it has been amazing. 
To commend these students. They are all hungry for God and they are all in a place in their lives where they are learning how to get intimant with the Lord and they are also learning how to fully surrender to him. 
They are also very honest and open and bold and when you ask any of them a question they get real and don't hold back. it is so awesome!
I feel like all these staff here are my friends and I can truly trust each of them. We as staff are raising the bar as far as seeking God. We have strong acountability and we are seeking God hard and running to him daily! God is using our fire for him and he is pouring it onto the students! 

Personally I am in a place where God is my best friend, he is my everything, he is my identity and my passion he is consuming me to the depths. 
I invite the Lord to everything I do and try and include him in the little things. 
I am learning how to REST. Normally I am a busy man and don't know how to say no but i am learning how to say nope!
one thing God told me as a leader is, "Seek me hard and passionately and as you do that bring these students along side.
the past 2 months that i got to spend at home God showed me my pride, fear, insecurity and he is working me through each of those things daily. I feel like i am so much stronger in my character and identity. I feel like a true man of God and I am happy with who God made me to be. I feel so strong in the Lord that no matter what Life brings me and God will conquer!
 And whats cool is last night the lord re assured my heart and said to me "Nick, there is no circumstance that this life can bring that will keep me from loving and pursuing you" 
How great is our God you guys? 
His love is a powerful thing. I pray that you would catch fire for him and let your life be only about glorifying God and thats it!
