No picture can do God's creation justice!

Prayer week blew my mind. Enough said. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but essentially we had prayer slots throughout the entire week with a small group for 3 hours and we could do whatever we wanted. It was incredible to see God work in everyone and the revelations that took place. I've gained a new passion for prayer and how to communicate with God:

- Often if we seek God without an agenda, He will bring it back to us because he knows what we need better than ourselves.
- If we don't have fruit of the spirit (love, joy, peace..etc.) than we won't be "Christ like" and we can't act on spiritual gifts.
- God will never give you a misguided perception of who he is.
- God is constantly pursuing us and we have the choice by grace of God through repentance that we may not choose him now, but he will still come after us.

The best part was the sober joy from God's presence that I experienced; not your typical "high" that results in a crash... if that makes sense. However, there is nothing I can say that would even begin to scratch the surface of how blessed I am to be here! Another thing we learned about were spiritual gifts and I feel I've been blessed with the gifts of encouragement, leadership, serving others, & wisdom. I'm doing my best to let God use me in these gifted areas.

This Saturday, we went to Kondalilla Falls and went waterfall jumping. It was a thrilling day filled with ups & downs. I was sucked by many leeches & failed an attempt to front flip into a dive, which ended in me landed on my face. You can pray for my ear & stupidity, because I can't fully hear & it is filled with fluids continually. I just want my mom. Haha, but apart from that, the view was Amazing & we hiked through a rain forest.

This morning we had our once a month "Giving Morning" where everyone apart of YWAM gathers and presents their needs no matter how great. Then everyone seeks God and listens to what he is wanting them to give or provide. It is crazy to think about, but don't under estimate God and that he can work in miraculous ways. Over that 30 minutes $24,535 were given throughout the room. This was an incredible experience and a great way to start our week of Prophecy/Lifestyle of Miracles.

I hope everyone's having/had an awsum "Australian accent" spring break! I'm starting to miss an awful lot in the states including March Madness, the NBA & America Food (homemade, Baja, Yesterdog, & Captain Sundaes). Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to expand on. Please leave a comment!
