A new school...a new season

I want to know how to love deeper! I want to have a new revelation of God's love for me, and I want to learn more and more how to have His heart for others.

I love this new group of students. They are so honest and hungry for the Lord! It encourages me and spurs me on. It causes me to not want to be afraid of anything the Lord could be asking of me.

It's a new season here on Oahu. It's winter, and though I doubt I will get any sympathy from anyone on the mainland, it can be quite blustery at times. That being said, I still am absolutely in love with Hawaii! I feel alive here. I feel like it is my home and I'm so grateful that God has invited me to be a part of the work He is doing here; loving islanders, students, and peers. It's an incredible privilege.

Things aren't always easy. God continues to teach me that, even as I learn to disciple others, I am still being discipled by my wonderful God and the mentors and friends He has placed in my life. I am blessed by them all. :) God also continues His faithful provision in my life in numerous ways. He is caring for all of my needs because that's what He promises in His word. (Philippians 4:19). So, even in my lack, I know God's promise is that He is caring for every need I have. So I will continue to walk in this truth, "seek[ing] first His kingdom and his righteousness" (Matthew 6:33).

I think that is all for now. There is so much more I want to share...but I need to wait a little bit longer. :)

Loves!
