Oh man, God is SO good! He just keeps reminding me of that over and over and over(: It's really wonderful.

I had the privilege of spending the weekend with my parents, who came down from Portland to see me(: It was really a great time! I missed them a ton so it was great to see them again and to be able to introduce them to the people I'm always talking about here and show them a little bit of what my life looks like these days(: I can tell that my experience here at YWAM is as much a part of their faith walk as it is mine... Maybe even more so on their part(; It was such a blessing to get to spend Mother's Day with my mamma, too. She's so great(: I love my parents(:

In other news, read the comment my dad posted on the blog right before this one... Seriously some mind-blowing stuff! God's incredible.

This week, Mitch is here from the base in Pichilemu, Chile (which is where we'll be for a nice chunk of our outreach) and, ironically enough, he's speaking on missions! This man is FIRE- I'm telling you. Since he's started Monday, we've just been getting amped up about what the Spirit's been doing in his life and what it's going to do in ours as well, especially since our crew is so ignited for Jesus right now. We are so down to live the rest of our lives for the Lord, man.. It is nuts how much fire we've got between the eight of us. God is MOVING, that's all I can say. He is SO SO GOOD! Anyway, Mitch has been super inspiring already, and I'm thinking I might not be coming back from Chile (; Haha, just kidding, parentals, I have to talk to God first(;

Anyway, God's so good. I'm getting to be pretty good friends with Luke's mate Avi back in Australia (through Skype and Facebook) and am just realizing how VITAL it is to be surrounded by people who are lit up with the Spirit. This kid is legit. Super inspiring; his faith is an inspiration. Anyway, just realizing the importance of having really faithful friends.

I'm thinking about going to Hillsong College. Maybe. It sounds pretty exciting. Plus, it's in Australia. I'm praying God leads me there, heh. It's hard to pray with bias that strong. Pray for me(:

God is showing me how to not limit Him, because He has an EPIC adventure planned for me- in case you were unaware, basically the one thing I've always wanted was an epic adventure, so I'm already excited out of my wits- and that it's silly for me to try to tell Him what to do with my life. He's got it under control. I'm so happy(: I'm so free(: I'm so excited(:

PS: Today is national chocolate chip day. Whatever THAT means. Eat some chocolate with someone you love(: And then tell them about Jesus(:
