Things change when you follow after Jesus' heart







Wow I really never thought that I would be one to have a blog, I guess things change huh? :) I'm going to start off by telling you what I have been doing, where I plan on going and wherever else I decide to take this blog. :) First and for most I am attending University of the nations In Kona, Hawaii :) I LOVE it here! From the very first nervous day here, I was welcomed by some very sweet YWAMers...and some very odd ones too. :P Right away I began to make lots of friends from so many different places I cant even keep track!!! Right away I knew that this was where I was supposed to be. Within the first week I was Proficided over by Andy byrd, He basically said that I would have healing powers flow from my hands, the gift of prophecy, I would see angels and I would become like Mary in the bible. Wow that was so encouraging to hear, Right away When I would pray for peoples physical needs they would say they felt intense heat when i put my hands on there problem areas. That was extremely Encouraging! On Tuesday nights we go downtown and have a "treasure hunt" Now for those of you who don't know what that it let me explain: A treasure hunt is when you ask God for a name of people, some colors something that they are wearing and something odd that would help you out to find them. My very first try I got the name Jon and some colors, When we went I was very unsuccessful! I didn't even get to go to the place I thought he was at! I was so disappointed I told my leader Jeff I wasn't able to talk to the person I though I was supposed to! He said not to worry its just a game, and If Jesus wants you to talk to that person he will bring him to your mind Again. I still felt very unsatisfied. The next day my roommate and I Went on a special date out out to eat at the yummiest place here Bongo Ben's! After we were finished we decided to go to get shaved ice across the street. Once we got there the man kept giving us samples because we were unsure what we wanted ;P I looked on the side of his small shaved ice stand and I saw a little brochure for a energy saving method that he had come up with, knowing a little from Henry and school about this stuff I asked him some Questions about it. Before I knew it we were sharing our opinions about the economy and then for some reason it switched to Religion, He was telling me what he believed (which pretty much was a little of all religions, and contradicted itself) And I told him my opinion and we went back and forth. I attempted to smile and give him eye contact the entire time making sure I wasn't coming off as to shove it down his throat. After going back and forth and him getting upset with me and having to reassure him that I wasn't trying to force him into anything just simply sharing what I believe just as he was sharing what he believed, Finally a break through. He opened up just a tiny bit to tell me about his wife's death and how he lives in his truck and about his family and his house getting ruined. I finally understood this mans cold heart and his hurts and why he had attacked me, he had been so hurt and blamed Jesus because of it. Well at that point there were people behind me in line listening to me tell him that Jesus loves him and If he needed anything To let me know. With alot of pressuring from my end he finally took my number and I received his. Then I asked his name and he said Jon Barlow and I looked at him and almost cryed. I said Jesus loves you and if you need anything to call me at anytime! I went to the sea wall just about fourty feet from his stand and cryed. I was so shocked that It was him! Jon the name I received in the treasure hunt, just a day later! After finally finding my roommate We walked home together and I told her all about it, I was so happy cause I know Jesus is going to work in his life like he has never seen before! :) In closing I want to just remind you that if you get a word for someone or you are sent to pray for someone and you miss your opportunity or forget, don't forget that our God is a GREAT God and If he wants you to do something He will have you do it in ways you would never expect! Just don't worry about it though If you miss it the first time and he really wants it to happen, he will bring it around again. Jesus is love ~Kylee P.s. I am going to Cape Town South Africa for three months For an outreach! I'll write about that later :)
