God is so good!

Where do I start?! Students began arriving Tuesday of this past week. The normal scene happens here...awkward! Haha. It's always a little rough the first couple of days as students (and staff) are trying to learn everyone's names, and students begin to adjust to their new home.

We kicked off the school with Aloha Day (welcoming day) on Thursday. Festivities included worship, games, and a delicious BBQ down at the beach. We ended the evening with another time of worship and ministry. Here's where it gets really good! As the worship time came to an end, one of the staff felt that the Lord was saying He was wanting to bring physical healing! So...those that needed healing came forward. One girl had jammed her arm back in May and has had extremely limited mobility ever since. Scans had shown that she was going to need surgery. Immediately after prayer (and HEALING!) she had FULL mobility of her arm; full range of motion with no popping! Amazing!!! But, that's not all. Another girl received prayer for her Celiac Disease (gluten intolerance). As the weekend continued on, she began eating wheat products that would have made her extremely sick before. Now...completely healed!!

Friday afternoon we loaded up the vans and headed out camping for the weekend on the beach! It was much needed to get away from the base, computers, and other distractions so we could begin to get to know one another better. We spent the weekend learning more about the students, why they chose to come to this school, and what they're hoping to get out of it.

I'm completely blown away by God's greatness, faithfulness and goodness. He just loves us so intensely. He loves to bring healing! Jesus is just soooo good!

I am blessed to be here, serving in this capacity. It's not always an easy job, but times like these remind me of why I am here and encourage me to continue persevering in the rough times.

Much, much more to come...
