God's Right Here

Just like that my adventure to Australia has come to an end.. I can't believe that it has already been 7 month. I already miss my family in Australia but boy does it feel good to be sleeping in my own bed and not having to worry about captive portal every 15 mins... Sooooo you guys are probably wondering what has happened since I've been back home and I would love to tell you!

So I arrived back in Minnesota on May 3rd at about 10 PM and was greeted by my mother and father along with my cousin Charlie which was a great surprise and I had 2 more friends waiting for me back at home along with one of my dads friends. And obviously the questions started coming at me from left and right, but I was excited to tell them about my times and everything I had learned. So after a long discussion with my family and friends it was about 3 AM and I was about to go to bed when it hit me... I realized the very thing I told myself I wouldn't do I did right off the bat. I was preaching... And before I left one of the staff told me to just listen for 2 months and don't say anything, just live out the word. But the first opportunity I had I was preaching till my face turned blue trying to convince them that I'm right instead of showing them. So right then and there I was convicted and told myself I wasn't going to do that again. But obviously its easier said then done... 

A big thing that I would always joke about was that God wasn't outside of YWAM... But as I was boarding the plane to go home I realised that I believed that. I truly didn't know if God was in Minnesota, so I was getting nervous but yet excited. I had to completely trust God for the first time with everything.. With my friends, family, and with myself. So as I'm sitting in the plane Gods just getting me excited and reassuring me that he is there and that big things will happen when I get back. 

Lets fast forward to last night.

So last night one of my good friends invites me to a group meeting that I have never heard of but she said that they are very prophetic and its a great time, so I'm like awesome I'll be there. Then one of my friends who believes in God and grew up in a Catholic church but doesn't know much about The Holy Spirit and what he can do texts me and says hes coming home and wants to hang out tonight and I was like wellll I'm going to this church thing you should come! He texts me back and says I'll be there, but not till a little later. I was like awesome just come. I get there with my friend and I can tell that this is all about The Holy Spirit and that my friend was going to think that I'm crazy... so I'm praying for my friend who is coming that God would just touch him in some way where he would forget all the other stuff he saw! He gets here and right away he gives me a look like what did you get me into.. So after a 3 hour service the preacher starts getting words from God and after Prophesying over a few people he gets to my friend and tells him what his past looked like and where he could be with God if he decided to go after God full heartedly. After the service was over God told me he had a hurt left knee and he did, and after praying his reaction was hilarious because he was completely healed.

Thats just one of a ton of crazy things that have happened to some of my friends and family and I would go into detail but I know you guys would lose interest. So if you want to know the other things that have happened FB message me and I'd love to share them. But the reason I'm sharing this is because God is constantly trying to move through us and with us but nobody is letting him! If you want to experience God you're going to have to step out of your comfort zone and make sacrifices but I'm telling you guys it is so worth it. The amount I have grown in my relationship with God this past year is crazy and I would have never thought I would get to this point, and having a relationship with him out pours to other things that are so important in life! And the main thing I want you guys to understand is that you don't have to go all the way to Australia or Africa or anywhere! Because God is right where you are and he will meet you right where you are! All you have to do is give him the time and be willing for what he has! If you want to take steps to get to know him and don't know how message me and I'll help you! Just take that first step and everything else will follow!
