Sorry, y'all, for the lack of updating! Life back on the big island has been crazy busy, yet so so so good. Here are a few things that have been going on...

Our Awaken staff family is growing and going strong. We spent the earlier half of this week at the YWAM Makapala retreat on the north side of the island together. The time we spent in prayer, worship, sharing testimonies, and just having fun brought us closer together and to the Lord.

Makapala Sunset

I have prayed for passion for Jesus for so long, and I am finally receiving what I have asked for. And now that it is here, I don't know what to do with myself. When the Lord places you in a group of people passionately pursuing God, He is going to bring stuff up in your life that He wants you to work on because you are with people that He trusts to help you walk it out. Some nasty junk in my heart came bubbling up to the surface the last couple of weeks that I had been pushing down for quite some time now. It's ugly and gross and icky and I didn't want to see it, so I shoved it down deep so no one, not even myself, could see it. But it's still there. I know it, and God sees it. He has called me to a higher standard, to be refined like the gold, and to do that, He needs to pull all that stuff to the surface to wipe it away. I am so grateful for all that He has done in my life, especially in the last year. The supernatural desire I have to just know Him is being filled, which in effect, causes me to want even more of God. And I am not going to stop seeking Him above all else.

11 days....

A week from Thursday, about 100 Awaken DTS, and 300 Circuit Riders (click here for Circuit Rider info) will be arriving on base with a hunger for Jesus. This summer is going to be a major outpouring of the Spirit, revelations of Jesus, and heart connections with the Father. I can only imagine all that He is going to do this summer...

Please be praying for

• Staff as we continue to grow and prepare for the students
• The school and that all the Lord wants to do will be fulfilled
• Finances- I will need about $2,500 for outreach [location will be announced mid July :)]

"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. And we who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit" 2nd Corinthians 3:17-18
