Day 14– July 13, 2005:A day with a great dinner

I finished the first book we were to read. It was an excellent book. Titled “Is That Really You God?” by Loren Cunningham (the founder of YWAM). It is all about the trials they went through in starting this ministry. It is amazing how they learned to trust God for things. They often would not do something big unless everyone in leadership received the same word from God saying what they should do. Loren also ‘tested’ God many times when he had a vision of something to build or of starting the school. He told God that he would wait and see if anyone else had the same vision. The next day someone would call or write or tell him of this vision they had! It’s quite unbelievable actually. Sometimes the person would not even be someone that he knew! He had a professor show up on his doorstep in Hawaii saying “God told me to come here to start a University”. This was right after they bought property here in Kona to start the university. It’s a really cool book. It just shows how amazing God is and how he still moves today (if we stop to listen).

Later we had the best dinner yet. Roast with potatoes and veggies…hmmm it was good. I also convinced the main mow man to let us use the riding mowers. I think that will help. Then we hung out and watched what had to be the best sunset yet. The sunsets here are just plain unbelievable.
