a letter to the old me.

Hey. It’s me.

You don’t know me yet, but I’m the person you’re going to become in five years.

Tonight you made a choice to survive. You made a choice to trust that God had bigger plans for you than to end your life as a 15 year old.

I know it was one of the hardest choices you had ever had to make, but I promise it’s worth it. Things are still going to be hard for a while. In fact, if I’m going to be completely honest with you, things are always pretty hard for everyone. Plus, you like challenges and that’s not something that will ever change. But it’s just a matter of perspective and trust.

Settling In.

Week two.

Now that the newness has worn off, I’ve been able to settle in and really get a feel for life here at YWAM Honolulu. God continues to move in massive ways in my heart and life every single day without fail and I am certain that He will continue to do so. I keep expecting to get a pang of homesickness, but God has been so faithful in keeping my heart fixed on what lies ahead.

Aloha!

Week one.

I arrived Tuesday night of last week at the place that has quickly become home. This week has been filled with a whole lot of NEW: friends, places, revelations, beaches, hammock spots, bible studies, hikes, bed, meals, lectures, worship, speakers, and about a gazillion other things.
