God is moving!!!

We're in the middle of week 2 of lecture phase for the students, and God is moving in powerful ways! It has been our prayer that these students would experience God from day 1, and this is exactly what is happening. This is not the norm by any means, and we've seen students dig into what God is doing in their lives. It's incredible!

For me, it's definitely been a transition from life on the base as a student to staff. It has been challenging, but so good. God has been speaking to me about being a nurturing, comforting, caring mother for girls here who haven't had this. As I'm walking through this I'm learning that all of the comfort I have to offer is truly from the Lord. "...the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God" (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). I am walking this very verse out right now.

I guess I just wanted to give you all more of an insider perspective on the specifics of what is happening right now on base. Like I said, God is moving! With that, we've been getting some serious attack from the enemy who does not want these students (or anyone else on base) to be moved by the Lord. But, we continue to press in and take the authority that we know we have in Jesus.

Thank you all for your prayers! I will keep you posted. :)

Blessings!
