Hi there everyone!
I'll pull my head out of the craze here, to make an appearance on the internet world for a bit.
So, it has been a long time since I have posted, as every time I have gone to write God has turned things up side down, and or changed my plans for the millionth time!
This School has been phenomenal, God has been moving, speeding things up and shaking things around so much and it has been awesome to be a part of.
It is already nearing the time for every one to go on outreach again, so much has happened. I don't even know what to say, other than the presence of God has been so manifest here, with many different ways, everyone has fought so many Battles against the enemy, knowing they already stand in victory, and God has appeared in so many ways to all of us.
The Lord has really been teaching me a lot about literally leaving EVERYTHING in His hands, the small details as well as the big. and not worrying about them, but praising Him through it all. He has also been teaching me about Unhesitating Radical Obedience, and to be honest, I have not been taking my lessons all to well. But I am getting there, with His help. I was getting down on myself the other day, because I hate not learning my lessons, I was feeling guilty, and then, I struggled spending time with Him, and as we all know, that starts a nasty spiral down. He really encountered me there, and reminded me that His blood covered everything and does so consistently, that there was no record of wrongs, and He would not bring them to my attention again. And that I didn't have to overcome this, He would help me through every step, as a Papa who's child is learning to walk, when I fell He neither gets angry or sad, he simply smiles , and picks me up to try again.
This gave me fresh enthusiasm to try again, as well as so much peace, and rest, it removed my sense of false responsibility and guilt.
This is just one of many encounters that we have had with God over the past 12 weeks, others include seeing the figure of the Lord walking in our midst, literally feeling the refreshing flow of spirit on our skin, having the Lord, teach and show us things in such vivid manners, and releasing us into so much more freedom in Him.
We had a 72 hour Worship session in Kaitaia a couple of weeks ago. It was a big thing for me to organize my side of it, and to come up and prepare for the arrival of the teams, though it was nice to briefly visit Mum, Dad and the family again.
The worship time was a very intense spiritual fight for us to start with , but God had already won the victory and we got to see that so clearly in the worship, in the church unity, and the surrender and glorious presence that He resided in, in that tent.

During the school, the Lord halted me in my tracks and gave me my new marching orders!
This is going to be my last school here at YWAM Zion. After We have graduated this school, I will wrap up and return to my parents home in Kaitaia. Where I will be based over the rest of the year and into the next.
From here, the Lord has very specifically called me to go to the YWAM Base in Perth, Australia.
There I will be training in their Birth Attendant School (BAS) for 11 months, traveling overseas as I train and work. What God has me there for, I am not entirely sure, but it is going to be an amazing journey as per normal when you let God Radically transform your life, and lead you across the globe to spread His love to everyone you meet.
Ok, I'm gonna wrap up for now, and catch you all up later!
