Forgiving People, Outreach and Australia Day

Soooooooooooooooooooooooo,

I have entered week three of being at YWAM ! This past week we learnt about repentance and forgiveness...

But I'm going to tell you about forgiveness.

I never realised I actually held grudges, I'm a pretty easy going person, when people wrong me it takes between thirty seconds to a day to be all good with what happened, but it seems I never really forgot..

I found I actually had quite a few things to forgive people for, things that I would bring up on occasion, and feel perfectly okay with, but then when I thought about it deeply when I had to make my list I found that I obviously hadn't forgiven them, as, I would still feel a small amount of agitation.

I think people bury things deeply, things they think they have under control but really don't. Trust me when I say, its a huge relief to get it all off your chest. I found as I sat with my two leaders and said my list in front of my class that I cried about the things that I didn't think affected me.

I challenge you to make a list !

It was a long challenging week... :3

Tomorrow I find out the possible locations for my outreach trips. I am super excited to find out where in the world I get to go help people ! Outreach teams are made up of our DTS students, we group up and do many different things from skits to teaching and everything in between. It is all very exciting !

So Australia Day was yesterday ! I dressed up super Ozzie like, as did my DTS and we all headed down to the river for an awesome firework display (as usual ;P). It was so beautiful to see and such a great time to spend time with friends :)

I have found there isn't much to say about this week, there was simply to much going on for me to ever be able to type it all, and honestly I am still trying to process it ! Enjoy my friends photo of the fireworks :) I haven't downloaded mine off my iPod yet sorry, and I'm still awaiting on my camera..... Seriously .... Australian post sucks ! But not as much as American I hear ;)

Until next week,
Tash :)
