So much has been happening since my last post.. lets start at the end of january.. when I went to Maui and had the opportunity to teach a group of young people in their DTS on the Holy Spirit.. We had a great time discussing and learning about the beauty of our God and how He has given us the awesomeness of the Holy Spirit in out lives. Many young people recieved prophetic words and through those realized the reality of how much God knows them as individuals and cares for even the littlest things in their hearts and minds.
I had a great time with this group.. one young man decided to ask Jesus to be a part of his life for the first time ever.. It was an absolute privilage to be there and celebrate with him and the class!
While I was there my mom flew in to Honolulu and spent special time with Kieva. She was a chaperone to his class outing to Makana Farms! It was great to return to my family with her here.
Our family went to the fair and had great time together. Daddy Daughtry won some carnival prizes for His son and rode rides with him. Kieva got his favorite snack.. cotton candy and devoured it in about 3 seconds flat!
Since my mom arrived we have had kids parties, played games,attended Kieva's Jogathon, and have had many adventures! She has been here for about three weeks now but only this weekend did we finally make it to the beach. I think this is the busiest I have ever been since she began visiting me in Hawaii! My jobs and Kieva's school schedule caused us to have to stick around the house and base more. But we have decided to make up for it this week!!
Holly flew in tonight with Robin Pasley from Enter the Worship Circle and they will be ministering on the island this week. So we have already planned some beach and North Shore time together.
For those of you who have not heard I have had a myriad of wierd things happen in the last week. First I had a bag of library books and movies stolen out of my car... while I was picking up my cat from kitty surgery! Second I lost my phone this month.. somehow it ended up in the trash at the bottom of the bag soaking itself in some chicken goo.. and third, on that same day while I was walking through the grassy field on base, at night, my contact popped out of my eye.. It was a crazy day.. and what I am about to say next may sound wierd to some of you.. but I really believe that we are being spiritually attacked...
You see there are some changes for me on the horizen but they are not official yet so details will come in the next update. but please be praying for my family as it seems when we make a decision to move forward in ministry the enemy tries to start beating us up.. I became aware of these possible changes the same day the phone and contact thing happened..
On a positive note..I love the young women that I am getting to pour into and pray for. they each are amazing in their own way.. and I love that I get to be a part of watching them grow closer and closer to the Lord.. I really find it a privilage to do this job..
I am growing too.. the word, ironically enough, this month has been love.. love one another, be patient, kind, hopeful, longsuffering.... over and over this word has been coming to my ears.. even when I turned on my daily Joyce Meyers show.. she had to start talking about love!! maybe some of you out there could comment to me about how you love your spouse or someone close to you...not why do you love them.. but how do you love them... and how do you love those that do not love you? What do you do? I feel the pressing finger of my God on me.. I am on the potters wheel again... Shape me.. mold me Lord.. I really do just want to be more like you..
