How did I end up at YWAM?

So far all of this has felt like a dream. I don't even remember actually deciding yes, I am going to YWAM. I feel like I just floated a long here and here I am. But it goes to show you, God know's what He is doing because I sure do love it here.

I have visited family night for YWAM a few times. I really enjoyed those but never knew I pictured myself there. The funny thing is though, I'd get butterflies really bad before the family nights as if I was actually going there. But once I actually knew I was going it just never hit me. As a matter of fact, it's still hitting me that I'm here. Ladies and Gentlemen, I didn't even get butterflies or get nervous when I was on my way here. Not even when I got here cause it all felt so unreal to me. I still feel as if I'm in some wonderful dream.

In case you don't know this, YWAM stands for Youth With A Mission. It is basically a place where you can come to get trained for being a missionary. Every week they have a teacher fly in who gives you lectures every day. I have different books i have to read, verses I am required to memorize, and geography I have to learn. I have small groups and one on ones with staff. It is a really neat atmosphere.

Now for the big question that I guess isn't really big. How did I end up here? For a while, I wanted to go to Honduras with Hope For Honduras. One of the requirements is that you have missions training. So I started looking at places for missions training and saw YWAM. After learning about YWAM I eventually knew I wanted to go there weather it lead to Honduras or not. Eventually it all just happened and now I am here.

I really like YWAM and would strongly recommend it to anyone, married, single, young, or old. I think this place could benefit so many people!
