3 weeks in!

So, it's been exactly 3 weeks since I arrived at YWAM. It hasn't really been very long, but it been so amazing already, and I thought I share with you guys a bit about what's been going on.

There's ten of us trainees doing the dts, and everyone's from different parts of  the world. There's people from America, Canada, the Netherlands and shri Lanka, just to name a few. We've all bonded so quickly and I personally feel like I've known these people for ages.


Each week we have a different topic that we're taught about, and we have different speakers who come to teach us. Last week's topic was the nature and character of God, which turned out to be very challenging and thought provoking. We also have worship/intercession every morning, work duties in the afternoon, and different events in the evening's. We have small groups, and one-on-one meetings to talk about anything we're struggling with or enjoying or finding tricky - basically anything.

The atmosphere here is incredible - nothing like anything I've ever experienced. Everyone on the base is so lovely and everything is so focused on God and mission work. The first port of call for anything is prayer. It's so incredible to see something like that.

I've been feeling very at home here, although the last couple of days I've missed home a bit (mainly due to a lack of sleep...), but it's so clear that this is where im meant to be. God has been doing so much in my life since I got here, and we still have 5 more months to go! I can't wait to see what else he has in store for me, as well as what will happen when we go on outreach! There's so much more I could write about, but I don't really have the time to. I'll try my very best to keep posting, and to write about what God has been doing and the exciting things that happen!

Off I go!

Today's the day! I'm finally going on my YWAM adventure. This is going to be a really little post.....

It feels strange looking back on the last year or so and seeing how I got here. God has worked in my life so much. So many things have happened and changed to bring me here. I've grown so much as a person. I've changed the way I live my life. It's so exciting to even imagine what he has in store for me over the next few months.

Thank you to everyone who has prayed for me and been there for me when I've had stressful times. I've never felt so supported and loved! It's going to feel very strange to not see my close friends and my family for 6 months (at least we have skype!) but I know that I'm going to make even more friends while I'm there.

This is going to one incredible experience.

This is just the start.
