Being in charge of the kitchen has definitely been an up hill battle of challenges. Who knew that some day I would be making food for almost 100 people in just a few weeks. Daniel Jenkins just recently arrived as well as some more 3 month volunteers. ( I will post some pictures of them at work as soon as I take them.)
Life here is moving right along and God is making me grow daily.
To be honest I have been doing a poor job of keeping in contact wit you all. I am not sure how to go about doing it better. So please leave a comment with the best way to get in contact with you over a long period of time. I need to get more on top of communicating all things that go on in this crazy life of mine.
I pray that you can forgive me and give me some ideas to really step up to task that could potentially go on for the rest of my life.

Hiya
As usual so much has been happening to me in the past two weeks that I am behind on updating you all.
Let me being with saying I had a wonderful birthday and thank you to everyone for all the cards and encouragements. It was a nice and quiet party, just the way I like them. It is so amazing to not only think that I am now 21 but that I have been in YWAM now for two years!
It has been 2 years of such intense growth. Jesus brought me from a pit of a selfish and empty life. I had almost everything and non of it fulfilled, it could only fill the void in my heart for a short time. i spent years of my life trying to numb myself to the emptiness that was slowly encroaching upon me. Around may 2006, god made himself evident and provide me with a choice - continue with the life that I had chosen that was empty and void of rest for my soul or finally step out to do what i created for. You know the choice that I have made and the rest is history in the making. I have traveled to over 6 countries now telling people about the man that set me free. And through me simply following where he leads me I have grown and stretched in ways that I couldn't have imagined. And with that the pace was set for my life and God has only increased the pace of growth in my life. So now here I am in staffing in the kitchen.
Being the kitchen head here at YWAM is an incredible responsibility and it is so stretching. I never knew that I could have such a depth of dependence on the Lord. I have been brought to my knees weeping God as he changes me into what he created me to be. I don't know where He is taking me this time, but it hurts and He is going deeper then I have ever been. I hope to keep you guys in the loop with whats going on.
Please be praying for Him to work out all that He has for me. I do not want to stand in His way any longer. For each of us as men and women created in His image He has created a life so full of life and love everlasting that the world can not contain it. Know that God exists that He is always next to you, we must start talking to Him and reading what he has already communicated to us. Life is not worth anything without a relationship with Jesus.
