Good Times w/ Kid Dynomite!

Our time here with our new family of friends has been everything I'd hoped it would be as we prayed and planned for it over the last year+. Actually, even more so. In truth, I had conceded that we would likely be grouped with four 18 year olds, who while attempting to know God, would also be trying to figure out the person they would become outside of their parents reach. Honestly, any unknowns from our peers to our staff to our food or housing has really met my highest expectations. All of our classmates are in their mid-late twenties and have lived to some extent and done a lot of growing up already. I would say we are all at a point where we really have a desire to begin living more God-centered lives. Exciting.

We have already had two traveling YWAM couples stop by. One from Brazil and the other a couple who now live between here and Boston. A large group from Kona should be here later today. They have just finished their DTS in HI and are doing their outreach here around the New England area intereceding for the people and communities in the region. They will be spending two weeks of their outreach here in New Haven. Pretty neat. It has been really great living in community so far, but I also love being around and meeting new people so go figure right.?

This morning was our first meeting in which we were allotted time to kind of seek God with a short list of questions and wait for the Holy Spirit to guide us into any areas of our realtionship with Him that needed immediate attention. He showed up and really surprised me with what he had for me. Nevertheless, it was an intensely sweet and intimate time that we spent together in His presence.
