Revelation

I wrote this in my journal February 22nd, 2011 in my journal. We have been on the road for about 18 days. So much has happened since we began. My thoughts of America are changed forever. My view on community has grown tremendously. I have a grid on what community is to look like outside of YWAM. Because YWAM can be such a bubble for people, although great for different seasons, I feel that it is important to be launched into the "real world". I am seeing for instance: seeing people getting involved in different parts of their community, loving people in the church and not judging the church's theology. The people in that church are way more important than their theology or the building they meet in. Seeing God moving all over the East Coast is AWESOME!! Seeing the Lord's true beauty in nature, especially in the South!! This trip has given me passion to start community with some friends somewhere in America. Getting launched into the nations, but having a sweet community to come home to. These people I am running with are PERFECT. I can't ask for a better group and family. Also, seeing that we do have a good sense of community as Awaken. There is something way bigger than what we can see right now. Its cool to see wach person so well connected to one another and at the same time, being on their own journey. Seeing how important family is, is probably the most significant word we keep hearing. In that, we want to know what family looks like all over America. How can we bring it to the nations? Seeing God's faithfulness is out of this world!! We have seen God move everywhere we go. From getting a van, to getting it fixed for cheap, to protecting us from Boston to New Jersey without sway bars in the front, to offerings from churches and friends, to food blessings everywhere we go, to getting to see my family for the first time in a year, to God sending us to Charleston, SC to see my brother, his wife, and my nieces and nephew. And I got to see my parents again!! All my family and a YWAM crew all together in one house!! Years of prayer for stuff like this to happen with my family. God has prepared the way for all of us!!!
