Explosion of Joy

Basically, life is awesome. I am so blessed and I cannot believe it sometimes! Ways I am blessed: 1) I get to live in Hawaii. 2) I get to learn and encounter God everyday. 3) My home is filled with amazing friends. 4) Found out Christian music can be good! (i.e. Josh Garrels is bomb) 5) The beach is in walking distance. 6) People don't hate when you never wash your clothes...no wait, they do...but they'll give you money for laundry expenses. 6) God talks to me and now I know some pretty insane things... good insane. 7) 400+ people looked at my blog in just one week! (thank you) 8) Food is super yummy when you are poor. 9) Witnessing people being saved! 10) So. Much. Love. (from home and from YWAMers)

I love love love hearing the voice of God! Like, seriously, it's the best thing ever! Some of you are like, "What?! You can hear God?" well, not audibly, but in my heart and thoughts and pictures and other ways He chooses to reveal Himself to me. It is literally the best thing in the universe. Not exaggerating. You can hear Him too... you just have to listen and be open to what He says and how He says it. One major thing that I have learned is that that box we all tend to put God in needs to explode and die. God is way more creative and huge and awesome than any and everything we could ever possible imagine! Seriously. (Dad, that 'seriously' is dedicated to you.)

LOVE & JOY is what I send to you via the internet,

ps. the verse I was given...

"Every time your name comes up in my prayers, I say, "Oh, thank you, God!" I keep hearing of the love and faith you have for the Master Jesus, which brims over to other believers. And I keep praying that this faith we hold in common keeps showing up in the good things we do, and that people recognize Christ in all of it. Friend, you have no idea how good your love makes me feel, doubly so when I see your hospitality to fellow believers." Philemon 1:4-7
