The Father Heart of God

Some of the things that we talk about at YWAM:

This morning, Hannah D, Hannah R, Rebekah and I named our boobies. Hannah R already had named hers Serena and Venus Williuams. Hannah D decided her's should be called Itsy and Bitsy. Rebekah's are Mary-Kate and Ashley, much to her dismay. Mine are Freckles and Buttons.

Also, Bongo boobs. Apparently little children like to play this game. Need I say more?

Today we started the Father Heart of God with this amazing guy named Frank. He is big and cuddly and just like a Dad. So perfect. He is hilarious and just plain awesome. He already blew my world today, so I can't wait to see what happens by Friday! I will post about what I learn maybe tomorrow. It is currently really late and I want to go to bed.

For work duties today I got assigned to help Rewai again, the same as last week... except this time he did not reject me and I got to help! Yay! And guess what!!! I didn't have to weed. Woot. But we did move a lot of heavy things and I kind-of sucked as a helper. I basically just was in the way. But then we got to sweep out the shop and I was quite the expert at that! And Rewai is such a sweetheart... he is this big, round Maori guy, so he looks like a teddy bear... and he gives everyone candy! And as a reward today for helping, he gave Dan and I each a pop. How sweet :)

And again, I was on dinner prep and got to cook my own food :) I just had steamed veggies because I am majorly on carb overload. And then I got everyone to sing the Row Row Row Your Boat grace. It was fun :) But graces here are so chaotic. It is my goal to get them more under control by the end of this week because I can't stand it. No one is ever even quiet for grace. Children are still screaming and adults are still chatting. It is just plain disrespectful - not only to the person saying grace, but to God. Needless to say, everyone was quiet during grace today. Mwahaha.

After supper, Hannah R and I worked on our lovely Jonah and the Whale rap. It is so good. I can't wait to perform on Thursday!!!!

One of the assignments that each person has to do during the DTS is a creative presentation on one of the core values of YWAM. So far I have given the majority of people an idea of how to present their topic. Pretty funny haha, but ironically I can't think of one for mine! Thank goodness mine isn't until one of the last weeks. But tonight I helped Van make his puppet show for tomorrow. I suspect it will be quite funny. :)

Also, tomorrow we are doing our monthly day of fasting tomorrow. So wish me luck! (I just fasted on Saturday!! It is so soon to do another one!) But also please pray for break-through in my understanding of God and in my ability to lay it all down and give everything to God. I want so badly to surrender everything to Him. So pray for me please!!!
