So prayer week has come to a close and i'm going to have to say that I have grown so much this week. From the moment I first stepped into the prayer room to the last time I said "Amen" in there was a complete growing experience. About half way through the week I shared my testimony with the Kaleo group and I don't think I've ever been that honest with someone before. Nothing got left out and I completly opened up my heart into this family. I didn't know what the response was going to be from the group here but I was shocked when Jim told everyone to say how they could relate to me story. So many hurting people, people that I love that have stuggled and are stuggling through such hard times. I thank God everyday for the people here and the way they treat me like a little brother.
Anyways this was such an awesome week for me in that prayer room. The first couple of times I walked in there I felt the presence of God so strongly that I couldn't hold back my emotions and just started going off into different things. One second I was mad, the next sad, the next happy, but all the time joyful to know that the God of the universe was listening to everything I had to say and was responding in ways I can't even imagine. One of my prayers was that someone who was here at Kaleo would share their testimony and that it would break everyones hearts enough to have us all come around as a family. Wow did God answer my prayer! 2 of the girls shared their testimonies on 2 different days and completely shattered any pride left in anyone and we all came around as a great family. I know i've shared this several times now but I love this family so much and i'm thrilled to see how the rest of the year is going to go.
Now aside from Kaleo there was also a lot going on at Warmland this week. We finished our series called H2O and had a huge celebration to try and tell more people in the community of Crofton about the message Christ has for them. Also Youth this week was awesome because I was not attacked! the girls that normally steal my hat and pull my hair were not there so I had a very peaceful and relaxing Wednesday. Also on Sunday we had our last H2O morning service and it ended off great. We spent alot of time focusing on the message of the Church being a family and how it accepts everyone like they are a brother or sister, or the fact that churchs should do that. Overall this week was amazing and i'm going into my next class fine and refreshed.
