So I have recently figured out that I am horrible at keeping in touch with people. Horrible horrible horrible. So for all of my friends and people who care about me, I'm terribly sorry about that. I was convicted of that this week. So again, I am terribly sorry and I PROMISE to keep in touch better! :)
Sooooooooooooooooo on the other hand, it has been a while since i have updated this blog!
So, to let everyone know everything, our 2nd Discipleship Training School has started!! yay!!! students started arriving on the 9th and we started the next Wednesday! God clearly hand-picked our students because, they are all amazing and God is really doing amazing things in their lives!
So even though this is their DTS, I am definitely learning just as much, if not more, than they are. God is really teaching me how to be a leader. Not gonna lie...it is hard leading people of your own age, having responsibility over them, telling them when fun needs to stop and they need to go to bed (even though I don't wanna stop myself) and just leading them in general. It is my heart-felt prayer that God is using me to lead them, even if I do mess up sometimes. But, when I mess up, I learn, and won't (hopefully) do it again! :)
Recently I have also really been learning how to listen to God's voice in my everyday life...and not just when I need to. Like...we are all "praying" ("talking") to God at some point everyday (at least I hope you are!) and it occured to me that He likes talking back! Personally, I really don't like it when I strike up a convo with someone and all they do is talk to me...and never let me get my 2 cents in! So think about God! How many times do we just talk and not let God talk back to us? and think about it....He wants to talk to us throughout our whole day...not just when we pray. So, when you are on a jog or at the gym or painting something or writing or listening to music, listen! Ask Him what he wants you to work out or paint or listen to...He will definitley answer you..and you'll hear Him as long as you are "tuned in" correctly. Even go as far as asking Him His favorite color...i'm sure He'll want to share it with you :) So, ya, I encourage you to do that! Our God made us relational for a reason....:) Because He is relational too! :)
and again with like random things you might not know...we do have an official "YWAM Boston" base building now! It's actually just about 6 or 7 blocks away from the house I was living in, which is great! This building is 4 stories and it's huge and perfect for us and our DTS! So Praise Jesus! He always provides :) Speaking of provision...I know I have talked to alot of people about this but... I am running low on support at the moment. and by low i mean none. So please just pray and ask God if it would ok to help me out so I may continue my ministry. MORE IMPORTANTLY than that though....sending me money is not just sending me money!!! NEVER think that! It is joining in with the body of Christ to fulfill what God has called us to do and it makes you every part of my ministry as I am. So basically, I owe my life to you. and God :) of course. So please. Pray :) thank you deeply and God Bless! :)
i will certainly try my hardest to update this every week...but we will see how that goes! :)
oh...and by the way... GO STEELERS!!!!!!
In Christ's Love,
Aaron :)
