Day 1 of Lecture

The challenge has begun! Today was our first full day of lectures, our theme: hearing God’s voice. And let me tell you, it is super interesting. It’s funny how sometimes we think we know everything about a subject then we realize we know nothing! That is a little insight into my scattered and frazzled mind. We learned about intimacy with God and why to hear God’s voice we have to have a intimate relationship with Him. Our second leture we talked about the four different voices in our head, our own voice, others voice’s, the enemies and God’s. Then we spent some time breaking down strongholds as to why we don’t or “can’t”  hear from God and turned it into ways TO hear from God. Our speaker told us to get alone and ask God, “what do you think of me?” and it was so powerful! We shared what God spoke to us and then she gave us some homework: Ask God what game He wants to play you and ask God what excites Him. So when I get an answer I will update!
After lectures today we took on our work duties, chores around the castle, and lucky for me I get to walk twenty minutes up a huge hill into town everyday to work in the Jesus House! It is a church/guest house/hospital that is so gracious and helpful to YWAM. Today we spent two hours raking grass, collecting nuts and moving beds.
We are about to have supper now (I finally bought my own bread) and then it’s off to s’mores at the fire pit tonight! It reminds me of home.
