He spoke with such power and wisdom, he was one of my favorite speakers, and I felt honored to meet him and ask him questions. He gave me a different perspective on God. I walked away from week 5 with what I felt like was a better understanding of God and my relationship with him. He was such an animated speaker that could crack so many jokes. Throughout that week we laughed so much from the jokes he made, he kept our attention and it was a relaxed atmosphere. That Thursday Matthew prepared communion for us and we broke bread with him, he then prayed over us in Hebrew. Over all week 5 was a intense but an amazing week, I was sad to see the end of it.

Week 6 "the divine Plumbline" week
One of the Korean translator Malsoon Park spoke to us about the Divine Plumbline. (In english of course) Which is basically about knowing who we are in God. When we have fears we have not been perfect in love. In the Divine Plumbline,our fears are represented with bricks. The fears we have, build walls around our hearts that prevents us from receiving love. This week was so structured, but very personal. It was a week to really give our fears to God, to be set free from them. Though it's still a constant battle to surrender our fears to the Lord, I have a better understanding of my fears and how to address them.
Week 7 Identity and Worldview:
This week was another one of my favorite speakers Joseph Avakian. He spoke basically on how society and individuals put themselves in a box. A box of limitation, and many times we put God in a box. If we are bound by our limitations we keep God from working in us.
If you have the correct image of God, you will have the correct image of yourself and that is when God can do great things through us. When we have freedom in God, we allow ourselves to co-create with him. I mean how awesome is that!!! We can go farther then imaginable with our ideas and skills when we work with God.
Joseph is a graphic designer, he actually was the artist who design YWAM's logo, so as an artist he shared his experience of co-creating with God and how even in the art world, people can limit themselves to boxes. As an artist and dancer this was such a eye opening week, and I am so excited to co-create with God.
