Hello favored ones!! Its been 2 months here on the island and I am a bit in shock by how fast it has gone by. I am blown away by God's faithfulness to my heart!! He never ceases to amaze me with His love. He knows what I need and graciously leads me in the right direction. So my focus has changed a bit by His prompting, and I want to keep you in the loop with what is transpiring.
I am part of what is called the Leadership track with Fire and Fragrance here on the Kona YWAM base. This track is geared to raise up leaders in their gifting, cultivate deep relationships, serve our immediate community on and off base, press us into deeper intimacy with Jesus through personal and corporate prayer and worship times, and in some cases to put us in places of leadership staffing DTS (discipleship training schools) leading and mentoring students during lecture phase and leading them on outreach into the nations.
So I was pretty sure that I was going to staff the April quarter Fire and Fragrance DTS, but I really feel that God is having me not. So I am trusting Him for this next season. I am trusting that He has my best interest in mind.
At the end of January I was invited to rap at our Thursday night Ohana (family) gathering, where the entire campus and people from in town are welcome to come. This was probably the largest group I have rapped in front of, and the most anointed time I have ever experienced. The Holy Spirit was so present during this time Its hard to really give you understanding what I experienced. It was pretty much amazing!!! Thankfully a friend of mine recorded it and I have the link for you to see. I pray that you hear the fullness of my heart in the rap. Since that time many people have asked me to rap at other venues and I'm pretty sure a door just opened, and this may be the very reason the Lord is having me shift gears a bit. I have been praying for sometime that the Lord would bring specific artists and beat guys my way to help tailor the gifting the Lord has given me. And recently met 2 guys that really want invest in my gift. So I will be working on a lot more writing, growing in my gift and recording over the summer. I am super excited for this season.

These last few weeks have been incredible. I've been learning so much about just lovin people in the midst of life and loving them to Jesus. Its not my job to change people but to love them. Love is our greatest weapon. Love breaks chains, love heals, love sets people free, love keeps us going when we want to quit, love wins.
Please pray for me in this season that I would continue to follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit. And that I would be bold in my pursuit for the Lord and the lost.
