hey everyone,
so there's been a pretty big change of plans. I got sent home from YWAM Boston on Tuesday. It just really wasn't a good fit for me. Please be praying as I seek God for wisdom of what to do in the meantime and if He wants me to go to a DTS as soon as March or as distant as September.
It's been tough. I'll keep you updated.
In Him,
Camila

The Milestone of a Week
Hey everyone,
so it's been one full week today that I've been here in Boston with CAWDTS (Creative Arts in Worship Discipleship Training School). It feels much longer. Even after only a little time with the other seventeen students, we're already getting so close. We're going to be an amazing team for God. Also, the speaker this week, Jill Bills, has been talking about hearing God's voice, and I have had such an amazing and transforming dialogue with Him! God is so good.
As for prayers, please pray that I will be willing to live my life with Him, day by day, listening to Him, doing His will, being his child. I am asking especially for grace for myself and for others, and for the ability to slow down and think about what I'm saying and doing. I am praying to learn how to just relax and not have to be the center of attention. That's a tough one for me.
God has done so much in just this one week! Think what He'll do in seven months!! :)

First weekend here
Hey everyone,
it was great to sleep in yesterday, after waking up at 7:30 or earlier the last few days. Yesterday was so cold, and they chose that one to walk us around Boston for a tour of all the historical sites. I'm not saying that it wasn't fun, but it was so cold that we had to stop inside Borders just to get warm for a while! We went back to the base and then most of us went sledding. That was fun, but pretty painful. I mean, you don't always stay on the sled. It was worth it though. Because it was so cold, it was also icy, which makes for a really fast run. Everyone here is nice, and I get along with them. I'm sure it'll be a great seven months.

DTS: first full day!! :D
Hey everyone,
so I got into Boston at about 1:45 yesterday, and the rest of the day was sort of a whirlwind. I met my house leader, Amanda, and unpacked my stuff, and then got driven over to the base to meet everyone...we had dinner and then heard a lot of people's testimonies :)
We actually got back to the house where we were staying pretty late...but it was alright. I didn't sleep wonderfully last night, but I think it'll be better tonight. I actually have to go upstairs in about 5 minutes, but it was a day of mostly learning the guidelines and a basic schedule. I am so stoked about being steeped in God for seven months. I will be a well-brewed pot of godliness by the time he's through with moi :)

Anticipation
Hey everyone,
I'm headed off to Boston tomorrow, and I still can't quite believe I'm really starting this! I am excited, really, but I am still feeling an urgent need for massive prayer waves. I'm still uncomfortable with the idea of public transport, and I'm sure I'll get used to it, but not by tomorrow ;)
My time here with James has been great. It's always hard to leave after a wonderful visit with him and his family. I've also gotten to spend some time with my cousins, which is lovely. I feel so at home at their house. I really don't have a gargantuan amount of news, but I'll be writing a long blog post about tomorrow as soon after it as I can get to my computer :)

New Haven
hey everyone,
I'm here in New Haven finally. I actually got in closer to 8 than 9 last night, so that was lovely. It was a long day of traveling with two plane trips and a shuttle from the airport, but it was all worth it when I got here. The weather was crisp with an aftertaste of rapture. I love it here. I think I'm going to do just fine with the winter.
So...I'm happy. I'm here with James and his family for a bit before I head off on my very own adventure. God has lots in store for me. There's a lot on my heart and mind regarding Boston and the DTS, but for right now, I'm just going to enjoy the time I have. I'm going to live each moment to its fullest, relax, love where I am, and keep getting closer to God.

A new year
Hey everyone! :)
It really is January 2009, but i find that so hard to believe. I can't comprehend that a week from tomorrow I'll be starting a brand new seven-month adventure that will most likely change my life in a big way! This week is going quickly, drawing close to Friday when I actually leave.
I will be blogging about a lot of crazy stuff in the coming months. Keep checking back, all right?
Never Forget Him,
Camila Joy
