We are in North Carolina!!! I can't believe that we are here. It has been 11 months since I have been home to see my parents. They are such wonderful people. Their hospitality was out of this world!!! We have had the past few days to rest and process a few things with each other as a team. I can't ask for a better place to be!! We are leaving today for Charlotte. We will be meeting with Jonathan Helser and his dad. They are very Godly people and it will be an honor to be able to pick their brain for a few hours. It is cool to see God is moving all over the United States. With all of the negative things that we all hear on the news, God is really showing us that something is getting stirred up in a HUGE way here in America. God continues to bless our team with everything we need and much much more. We can't stay away from His blessing. People are taking care of us in ways we never expected. After NC, we will be heading down to Alabama. There is a place down there called, The Ramp. The word on the street is that God is moving like crazy down there. So, we felt led by the Lord to head down there after we hang out with Todd Bentley in Charlotte next week. We will be down here in NC for a week or so.
Here is a little of what God is showing me during this trip: He is showing me what community looks like in the "real world" or outside the YWAM bubble. Community is shown differently in every place with all of them having the same thing thing in common. They all have people that they either live with, or live around that are "family". People are constantly around you encouraging, challenging, and motivating. Community is just family looking after one another on a daily basis with tons of vulnerability. Getting involved in churches is another big thing. Not caring if the church is a little "off" or not your style, but really investing in the people there on a 1 on 1 basis. Building relationships is huge!!
