Dave Sr - Those are favorite lyrics from our Mission Theme Song by Bebo Norman. The song really sums up how we are feeling as we launch on our new family adventure. Well, we have arrived at the YWAM (Youth With A Mission) base here in Kona, Hawaii. This base is also known as the University of the Nations!! It is a very special, place, probably the most spiritual place I've ever been. It took us about 24 hrs and we returned to that peace of being in God's will in a holy place. We know that, "We are where we are supposed to be and that He has a plan for us." When we are able to really know this fact, suddenly every challenge is a good book... that God is writing for us :)
I came to tears today. Been quite awhile since that had happened... Worshipping with my son David in the prayer room, I went from normal old smiling me to bursting with tears of joy. God's love just shot me in the heart.
I thought, "What a gift God has given us!!! To share this experience with my son." From time to time I worry about him (as all parents do). "How is school going? Who will he marry? He's gonna drive a car someday!!!, etc. etc." We all have those thoughts. But today God said, "You did the right thing bringing him here. Someday you will be with Me in heaven with your son, and you will remember this time you chose to join us together." It overwhelmed me. Wow!!
What a motivational moment for my Monday morning! Know that I as well as many others will be experiencing God in a new way thru your actions. Blessings, Janna

ReplyDeleteWe are so thrilled and excited for your adventure and we are vicariously living this through you. What a glorious gift and blessing to spend so much time with your God and family. You are experiencing the window to the world thereafter where uninterrupted communication with God can exist fluently. Thank you for sharing the blog and I eagerly will share with our family and will continue to pray for His blessing on your work and study there. Give all of yourselves a big huge hug from the Preston family.
ReplyDeleteJessie Dave and family, Sitting here in Fresno, CA (Uncle Scott has water use issues to help settle, here in the big valley) and got your blog. Wow, you guys!! Anyway, totally impressed and well jealous.... Kona is one of the prime connections on Earth and for you guys to be there and so, well, seemingly so focused. I know it's the least one can say, but, WOW. And then on to the next adventure. You guys are so impressive. Take care of you and yours, get out to California, if possible, and carve some more pumpkins!! Love to all, rft richtoothman@gmail.com
