Cleaning is My Happy Place

It's afternoon here in Townsville.  I decided to sleep in this morning and so slept through my normal blogging time.  Between traveling, jet lag, information overload, and working this week has been a little exhausting!  I'm looking forward to sleeping in this weekend.  :)

Yesterday we had all campus worship.  All of the staff came and we had an hour of singing and praising the Lord with the whole base.  It is so amazing to see how free YWAM Townsville is in their worship!  After that we all got loaded up in the vans to head to the new campus.  My assigned group was on "Hillside Duty".  We cleaned up a huge hill (I have pictures and video... I'll try and add them later) behind the campus.  We cleaned up lots of random trash and gathered a lot of downed limbs and trees to put in the dumpster.  It was hard work, but very enjoyable!  We had a good working group with great attitudes!  The City Campus is such a blessing.  Every time we go I just can't help but feel joyful and inspired!

After base cleanup we came back to do Ministry Placement.  I love the group of girls that clean the ship with me.  We work very well together and are efficient in what we do!  And I just can't help but take joy and be honoured that I have the opportunity to serve my brothers and sisters by taking care of them this way.

This morning we had an all campus prayer session.  The staff presented a few different topics and we prayed over them for about 45 minutes.  It's so good to see the Lord at work!  This morning during lectures we heard from two of the base leadership team.  One spoke on communication and the other was Ken, who is the base leader.  It was neat to hear his heart for this ministry and to see his humbleness in it all.  He is an aspiring leader.  The Lord is doing great and mighty things at YWAM Townsville and it's such an amazing opportunity to be a part of it.

We have to go back to the ship for dinner tonight and then we have free time.  I think an early bed time will be in order.

That's all for now!

Prayer Requests:
1. That all of us with colds would be healed soon.
2.  That we would be well rested and be able to do everything we need to with our 100%
