Going to Bangalore, India

Amazing news. I got accepted to Youth With A Mission's Discipleship Training School! Yay! I have been praying for a long time to go to India, so it's nice to finally get some real confirmation. I also have been hearing from the Lord that I should spend the rest of my time in Maui, so I'm going to move over there in the next week or so. Lot of nervous excitement and expectation. I am reading this amazing book called The Shack by William Paul Young, and it's been so awesome in opening up my idea of who God is and how we can choose to live in God's amazing kingdom. Mostly, it opens up my ideas of freedom and not livng within the boundaries of human thinking.

What is freedom? How can we truly be free and live a life that reflects God's awesome liberty? It's not easy for me, and I think I'm one of those people who feels relatively liberated from the confines of human society and thinking. But I know that I am so far from true liberation. I still care too much about what people think, and not focusing on purely God's voice. But the voice that is telling me to go to Maui seems to be God's, as it is not my flesh, and I don't think it is from Satan. I feel like God is telling me that he has really amazing things in store for me over there. Honolulu is amazing, but it is far from perfect. I came here not knowing what to expect, and he delivered in such an incredible way. So, how can we expect less than miracles from a God whose power and love is limitless?
