Smiles on every face.

the smallest insight to my joyful mosquito infested skin
the 

The God that isn't done with you.

      It's been well over a year since I arrived in Florida for my DTS and I have been so many people since then. I have been a student learning more God, angry and confused about why my life is mine, excited and soulfully joyful living in God's love, carefree in the land of Kenya preaching the gospel, not giving a care or worry about life, excited to know what big plans God has already set out for me, confused about what I am supposed to be doing where I am, disappointed for how I have changed back into my old self, oblivious and apathetic about God even after everything I! have experienced, now following whatever slim direction from God, and today, reassured that God is not done with me, but unsure what and how to follow these nudges. All this and more in a year, in just the couple past months though I have had multiple and finger points back towards YWAM. 
       Yesterday a group of young adults with matching T-shirts came into my work handing out flyers, a little shop in a little downtown in a little city in the middle of nowhere. Somehow one of the girls and I were talking about the coffee we sell and I could hear a little hint of a German accent in her voice, so I asked if she was from Germany, and told her that I met a lot of Germans in something called YWAM? thinking they wouldn't know what it was, and before the words had barely slipped, they all excitedly chimed in that "We are from YWAM!" We talked for a tiny bit after that but they had to be on their way, and told me I should come to their program at the Highschool. 
     Today was a long day and after getting back from work, my feet and legs ached from running back and forth on a busy day, and me being me, I seriously contemplated skipping on going to the Highschool, because I usually go to bed 10 minutes after getting home, but somehow I forced myself to get in the car and drive. I sat through the show and after one of the girls I had met previously, but forgot to exchange names, came up to me to pray for me, and then introduced me to two girls in their group from Washington, also turns out the German girls name is Katie. Even more amazing, they weren't even supposed to have this show, they were going to have it at the Airforce base, in which they wouldn't have given out flyers, come into my shop, or met me, several aspects barely went right in order for this meeting, so I think it's safe to say God's got me on this one. I talked with all the girls exchanging phone information, and they all told me that I should seriously consider coming to staff with them this Fall, or do the DTS, which is an Arts DTS. 
     I am having a hard time contemplating all of what just went down, but I know this, it's God, and I'm so glad He isn't done with me.
