Pray from the YWAM Montana Base

Yesterday a fire started on Blacktail Mountain. The winds were high, blowing it directly toward the YWAM Base here where I am doing my schooling. After a few hours of worship and prayer, the winds changed and blew it sideways away from the base-- praise God! It stayed like this through the night, but this morning it turned back towards the Base. Please continue to pray for YWAM MT. This picture was taken from the property last night. This morning the fire is within 2 miles of the base and is slowly burning down the road towards the YWAM property. Thankfully no wind at the moment but still a critical time. Base is ready to be evacuated at any moment should the wind come up.

Thank you so much for your prayers!

My Room

So here's my room... and my desk...

Were in our third day and things are going great!!! We're learning their Inductive Bible Study methods and steps and its awesome. Philemon is getting some color (color coding) and some serious in-depth study.

Let it RAIN!

SBS (School of Biblical Studies) has begun! Today is the first official day and we are learning a method of Inductive Bible Study. Observation, Interpretation, and Application are the main steps to IBS (Inductive Bible Study), while there are 10 methods and 12 Steps that are subcategories falling in the midst of the three steps. This is very exciting stuff!

We begun on our first Book today-- Philemon... All 25 verses... :)

So pumped for what's ahead. Here's where I'm sitting in my lecture hall for the next 3 weeks. There are 46 students in the school from all over the world. We will be splitting into 2 groups, Morning and Afternoon sessions, and so the class lectures will be smaller and more personal.

Thanks so following me and supporting me with prayer!

About to go wakeboarding with the McCutchins for the last time in Oregon! Amazing day, amazing people, and amazing new tires on my honda!...

Life is good :)

I'm having my first ever Salem Show on September 17th!! I have wanted to have a show in my home town for years now. Every summer I got back from College or YWAM I would say that I was going to have a show, and every summer, before I knew it, the summer would be gone... show-less... Well not this summer! I realized that God has called me into music, yet I limit my progress in many ways. I have had many shows in Oklahoma, when I was at school there, and Montana, during my Discipleship Training School, but I have had this 'barrier' that was for some reason keeping me from having a show in Salem. It was my desire that when I had my first show in Salem, I wanted everything to be perfect-- 10 hit, original songs that were going to make Salem erupt in a musical frenzy... for me...

That's ridiculous!

This is a chance to break that pressure and have a fun, chill show. I'm pursuing God's calling and I'm having a blast!

Also, the show is going to be a chance for me to raise some money for my School of Biblical Studies. I have been saving money through the summer for this school but I am still short. I am having it open to any donations that will go directly towards my schooling that can either be given directly to me at the show, or sent to YWAM Montana for me so it can be tax deductible.

I'm really excited for this show and the new things on the horizon.

Thanks for reading and God bless!

I'm leaving September 19th for a School of Biblical Studies program in Lakeside, Montana
