Two weeks in...

This whole trip to Belize has been such a step of faith but I am so glad I made it. Today I have been in Belize for two weeks doing my discipleship training school with ywam and already so much has changed. God has completely changed my heart and I am seeing the world in a whole new light. Week one was mainly focusing on orientation and team building and then lectures started on week 2. So far we have mainly looked at the foundation values of the Christian faith but in ways totally new to me and I can honestly say it is changing my life. It is awesome how God has been working in bringing the team together and hearing everybody's testimonies and stories has been both inspiring and heartbreaking but above all it has brought us all closer together.

The ywam base is on the island of Ambergris Caye, just to the east of Belize and it is stunning. We have white sands and beach on one side and a lagoon filled with crocodiles on the other.

It is definitely a place where you can see the power of God's creation. I have also had the been able to go diving twice so far which has been pretty awesome. The first time I saw eagle rays, turtles, nurse sharks, moray eels, sting rays and even a sea horse! I'm excited to be able to explore the water more and will hopefully have a chance to dive the blue hole while I am here. Last night was also pretty incredible we got to see the lunar eclipse, I tried to take a picture of the orangy/red moon but it is nothing compared to seeing the real thing.

I really feel like God has brought me to this school with a purpose and I am excited to see what he does throughout the dts. It already feels like home.
