Going to start a new series on the person and works of the Holy Spirit tonight, be praying for changed lives! In the next few weeks will be sharing some insights from the teaching. Pray for a mighty move of the Holy Spirit in Helena Montana!

It hit -38 this morning in Helena Mt, not loving this at all! Had to thaw the propane regulator at 3:30 am, now water is frozen. But there is hope! Friday it is supposed to hit +40! going to feel like summer! Regardless of the temps God is still in charge and has an amazing plan for our lives. Psalm 91.

Well dang y’all!! I’ve been here just over a week and it’s been WILD!!
So firstly, I’ve got 7 roommates! All of us are the older gals in the group with the oldest being 35 and the youngest being 25. And all of us are in the medical field already or making their way into it.
This first week has been PACKED. We got our work duties and the whole Med DTS helps out with breakfasts for the campus every morning except for weekends. This will be my first weekend off!! While it’s early mornings, we only have to put in those two hours every morning during the week and then we have the rest of the day to do studies, class, and quiet time.
We’ve also started the medical portion of our classes for the semester. It includes getting an ETT certification which, in terms of scope of practice, is in between an EMR and EMT. This is a certification allowed in Alaska. It’s been a great refresher for me!! Getting to do education and sit in on lectures has always been my favorite thing 😁
Along with classes, we’ve been growing closer as a group by having introduction-type questions that often gets a bit long but in the best way; we’ve got 28 students in our school!
And while we don’t have our outreach locations yet, today we got to exercise some faith muscles. We broke up into a few groups and prayed that God would reveal something. We got a lot of great stuff and I’m so excited to see where God sends us.

In the spirit of vulnerability in this season, one of the things I struggled with before arriving, was the prospect of exerting the energy to make new friends. I knew off the bat that I wasn’t capable of keeping things shallow, but I have lived this past year out of burnout and I was feeling triggered at the thought of continuing to pour out of an empty cup. I am so happy to inform y’all that all of that anxiety is GONE. While I was even on the plane here, I had a moment with God and I was given a promise, the peace to back it up, and a command to TRUST HIM. I am absolutely in love with my roommates already and God has done such things in all of our hearts and minds even in this first WEEK. To say that I’m excited for the rest of my time is a severe understatement. I don’t even have a word that could explain how ready I am to keep this train rollin.

And that’s my first week of YWAM! I’m so grateful for all your support and am boldly asking that you continue in it as you’re led. Keep me in your prayers and intercession!!
