The life of a YWAM student :)

I'm sorry if I don't write a blog everyday...they sure keep us busy! Anyways, today was the second day of our lecture and this week our speaker is Don Stephens. He is speaking on Biblical Worldview! You can check out his website to see what we are learning www.donstephens.wordpress.com. One of the main thing I have taken from the last two days of his talks is everything reflects who God is, therefore, everything brings him glory. It brings God glory when you clean your house or when you sing/dance/work. When you have romance in your life or when you study science or English. The list goes on... This all reflects who God is. Its AMAZING!

On Tuesdays my entire class goes to the prayer room and we are lead in Worship and intercession. Intercession is when you focus on a issue and pray for it. So today we focus on Sex Trafficking and it touch my heart. The reason why we focus on this issue because the organization, voice of the voiceless, was here this week. This organization travels the world to get footage on this issue sex trafficking.

Today we found out what our work duties are and hahah my work duty is construction. They are building more buildings for housing and I get to prepare everything for the workers! Its pretty sweet!

Anyways Here is the schedule for Monday:

Monday- 6:30-7:15 Breakfast
8:00-9:00 Campus Worship
9:00-12:00 Lecture
12:00-1:00 Lunch
1:00-2:30 Workshop
3:00-5:00 Work duty
5:00-6:30 Dinner
6:00-8:00 Open Worship
I would list everyday but they are very similar...only a couple things change. I just wanted everyone to see that they keep us very busy!!! On top of everything, we are required to read some books. At this moment, we are reading Is That Really You, God? by Loren Cunningham (Loren is the founder of YWAM). The other books we are reading during the dts are Crazy Love by Francis Chan, Royalty by Kris Vallotton, Foreign to Familiar by Sarah Lanier, and Compassion by Henri Nouwen.

Prayer Request: I want to drive in and rely on God for strength!
