Making Waves

Hello! First of all can I just say that getting the opportunity to come to Belize and learn more about the creator of the universe is such a great gift. We had a great week of lectures and learning last week; Peter Warren the YWAM Director of the Denver, CO base came and shared with us about the charactersitics of God- his love, generousity, faithfulness and etc. He also taught on hearing from God and spiritual warfare- last week many people experienced some spiritual attack, including myself, which inspired us to walk around the base praying and praising God and things have gone quite well since.

One of my favorite times of the week is when we meet for intercession...it truly feels like we are changing tides in the kingdom by praying on behalf of others. I also enjoy having quiet time on the dock after the sunrise, it is so calm and life-giving. Saturday I had my first experience scuba diving, which was a blast. It does feel unnatural breathing through the scuba gear, but we saw some colorful fish- one girl even saw a sting ray. But I am super excited to see the location where sharks live :)

During our time here we are challenged to read the entire Bible, which I have decided to take...so far I have completed 8 books, from both the Old and New Testament. I am also reading a book called Heaven, which explores all the scripture for biblical insight on what Heaven will be like...and it sounds fantastic- and I'm sure it is soo much better that what earthly words can describe. I am soaking up everything I possibly can.

Last night I befriended a woman named Maritza, she was a very nice woman who worked in town. Say prayers for her and her family. Lots of Love!!
