Let me start off by saying that I am so sorry for not writing these past few days! My schedule has become pure insanity over this past week and I had no time even to breath hardly....But to catch you up on some of the things we have been learning these past few days I will start with the over all topic of the week which has been "the pain of the Heart". I have been realizing that I had a lot of pain stored up that I didnt even realize...and am now in the process of freeing that pain so I can fully surrender myself to God and his ultimate plan for my life with out anything holding me back. Our speaker is very different then the other speakers we have had...Yet he brings the kind of gentleness and compassion you need to truly be able to get people to deal with all of the pain stored up in your heart. One of his biggest points is that experiences that you have as a child...shape the experiences you have as an adult....and also the way that you handle certain situations. For many people he said that their earthly father has a lot to do with that pain that is deep in their heart. He shared with us many testimonies about children who were abused or outcasted by their father and how many ended up commiting suicide or turning to drugs and alcohol. His point was that we need a father and that should be God. And when people come from broken families where they had a negative father figure in their life...they tend to put their earthly fathers face on Gods face.......And this act could take years to reverse....It is really awesome because he is meeting with everyone on my DTS for a 'One on one' session to truly be able to talk about the pain that we may have in our heart and he will coach us through how to give that to the Lord and not be held back anymore. I have my one on one tommorow so I will let you know how that goes :)
On the perfoming arts end of the scale....I am dancing pretty much 4 to 6 hours a day.....which is awesome yet extremly exhausting :) We are working on various dances and are already perfecting a few of them! It is really coming along and I am so excited for the performance :) We also got our departure dates for our outreach today! We are leaving on June 28th at 8:40pm heading to LA, then we are off to New York, then to Zurich, Switzerland! our final destination is Zurich and not LA or New York :) I am already so excited for outreach and we still have a month and a half to go!! But spreaking of outreach our airfare was due today and I was able to come up with 2,220 dollars which is about 280 dollars short but they said that they would still cut me a plane ticket so I dont have to fly to Switzerland by myself! Just continue to pray that the $280 with come in some time in this next weeks so I can be assured that I have my plane ticket paid for :) thank you somuch for your prayers and it is so amazing how God is providing for me and the rest of my team :) I love you guys somuch and may God bless all of you so abundently for your willingness to support me through this journey!
