All Moved In

My roommates and I had a wonderful week moving into our new apartment! Since the base will be getting quite a few large teams this year and no room on the base they decided to rent off-base housing for some of the staff members! We're really excited to have a place of our own for now. Some days it was just plain hard living at work. And this way we have a home to open up to our girls here. All three of us have hospitality on our hearts and are really excited to entertain guests. In fact there are going to be quite a few girls sleeping on our floor while the teams are here.

One of my favorite YWAM teachers was speaking on the WISE school this week. Since I'm staffing this school I had the privilege of hearing a week of her teaching again and I was so blessed. God has really spoken to me about resting in Him and fully living in faith. So I've been challenged in most of the areas of my life this week, in such a gentle way. God's challenges are completely out of love and a tender heart. I love learning more about His heart and character. My desire for the Bible is growing so much as well right now. I would love to spend some time, a year or so, studying the Bible. It's my double edged sword and I want to make it as sharp as possible.

The base finally has hot water! I'm really excited for everyone that lives at the base because cold showers are pretty miserable! As for our apartment we're still showering in cold water. Our water heater is broken I believe but it should be fixed soon. Our maintenance guys are very generous with their time and are working on whenever they can. We're so blessed to have running water though, I think about the families around here that live in little shacks with no running water and I see how blessed I am. I'm made to praise God and He is taking care of me and I will praise Him evermore.

Love and Blessings.

Sounds like you should do an SBS. :) I'm loving it Tasha, and I know you would too! If you have any questions about the SBS program, let me know and I'll answer them for you!

I hope you're well. It's great reading your blogs. God is so good, isn't He? Keep up the good work - He's smiling at you.

PS Your roommates in the picture look like Heather Graham (Jeanette) and Mandy Moore (Lisa)! :)

Be blessed.
