Our friends at YWAM Honolulu threw a going away party for us this last Sunday night. The main part of the party was an open mic. People came up one by one and shared encouraging words about how we've effected their personal lives as well as the base. There were many tears, lots of laughter, and hearts full of love. They ended our party by surrounding us, praying for us, giving us prophetic words, and releasing us to the next phase of our lives.
I was reminded that night that progression in life never comes pain-free. With a new beginning always comes an ending. We are leaving behind so many young people that we've poured into with time, tears, prayers, laughter, and love. It truly is hard to separate ourselves and leave them behind.
Yet I am reminded that the Father is the best vine dresser. He knows which branches in our lives need to be cut,snipped,or saved in order for our family to be the most fruitful in the next season.
This reminder continues to fill me with a peace that is beyond any I could conjure up myself.
We have 5 days left to finish packing so we can put our belongings on a barge headed to Maui. We have 8 sleeps left here and then we get on a plane and go home. Our 4 years in Oahu will come to an end.
Thank you all for your continued support. We have been blessed by our YWAM family, our supporters, and my husbands hard work. We are still in need of some money to purchase a bunk bed we will need and for moving costs. If you would like to support us in this transitional time you can send a check to YWAM Honolulu with a note saying that it's for us. Or if you don't need a tax deduction you can go to the PayPal sight and put in our email address and it will go into my bank account, bmkdaughtry@gmail.com
Thank you for praying with us in this time!
