we talked about how we probably wouldn't have been friends with anyone on our team had we not been stuck together for outreach, but we grew to love our whole team like family. (and still do!) i think that's one of the many beautiful things about YWAM. church, in my experience, hasn't yielded many great relationships for me. (if anything, i feel invisible at church and leave depressed.) in YWAM however, you're living with people and loving them for who they are. not because they fit into your categories or preferred tastes, just because you have a common love for the Lord and shared experiences of His presence. i treasure my YWAM relationships and still get homesick for both seasons of my life spent in YWAM.
i LOVED seattle. i could see myself living there, but then again i could see myself living in most of the places i visit. the sky's not even the limit when we follow a God in whom nothing is impossible, so we'll see!

Hey Chelsea...I just spent awhile looking through your blog. I had not realized you were still blogging. You are such a great writer and I had to laugh at a some of the things you wrote because I could see myself in them and others because you have a great sense of humor! :)
Thanks so much for the super encouraging note! It blessed us so much and seemed to come at just the right time! So thanks again and we would love to connect with you again. When are you coming for dinner?
