Goodbye’s are so hard here at YWAM! These 50 people who started out as strangers 5 months ago, have now become like family to me. God I thank you for each and every single person. I would be lying if i said that i got along with every one at every moment but i did learn important lessons with every person. I learned how to make God my best friend and I realized that I am never alone. I learned so much about living in community with so many people. I’m so thankful that God called me to such an amazing place with such awesome people ! I will never forget the impact they had on my life and i will never forget what God did to me. God deserves all honor, praise and glory!
As i prepare to head home, it is so bittersweet! I’m going to miss waking up with 8 sisters in my room with only 2 showers and 1 bathroom. Walking to breakfast with the most beautiful view of the sunrise upon the mountains every morning. Eating corn flakes every single morning and praying in groups for breakfast for the rest of our day. Having worship at least 3 times a week as a family. It is also going to be really hard not casually talking to people 24/7. This place has become like home.
I am however excited to go home to see all my friends and family. While being sick you forget how much you really miss home. I’m also excited to have my own bedroom and being able to shower whenever i want. I’m so stocked to have privacy and complete quiet time with God Ahh its going to be amazing at times but also super hard because its not the norm any more. The biggest thing will be being able to cook and eat when i want. I haven’t picked a meal or cooked something I liked in over 5 months !! My kind of food is sounding amazing now !!
Dear God,
You have taught me so much and I can’t begin to thank you for all that you have done for me. Thank you for never leaving my side or giving up on me. Whenever I needed you most, you showed your self to me in some form. Because of your love God, I’m learning how to surrender all that I am to you. You are so beautiful and I can’t believe that I am yours and that you choose me ! I’m learning what its like to be a princess to the amazing King. God, you have humbled and changed my heart for your glory. I am your child and I can’t wait to continue to serve you for the rest of my life.
Love your daughter,
Emily Grace
Everyone thank you for all your prayers and support! I can’t wait to tell you all God’s stories and begin to help out with my community. I pray that I will be able to show Christ’s love for the people I come into contact daily. I pray that I may be BOLD and not fear man, but fear the LORD. With God there are no limits to what he can do through a willing heart. I challenge all of you to ask God to reveal to you what he has called you to do in this life, in this moment and this second. Never undermine the position and person God has created you to be. Now is the time to step up and show people the love that Christ has shown you.
