The Father Heart of God (week 4)

My name is Alisha Curtiss and I'm from Vancouver, WA, USA. I´m 21 years old and I come from a family of 9 brothers and sisters. My favorite thing to do is travel around the world and explore new places and mashed potatoes are my absolute favorite food in the world! God called me to the mission field when I was 19 years old and I came to YWAM to grow closer to God.

This week's teachers name is Mike Oman. There were 3 things he said in the last week that really spoke to me, "My freedom is in God" "Take risks" and "Forgiving is healing."

Everyone´s mouth opened wide in amazement because of Mike´s unbelievable stories.

Next week´s teaching is called 'Divine Plumbline'. Our school is also having a "Love Feast" next friday. We are having a BBQ and it is going to be a BLAST!

After being at this school for 4 weeks I have been a little overwhelmed with all the things going on and all that we are learning. God spoke to me this week saying "Just rest at my feet as my daughter and enjoy my presence, lay your burdens on me and I will take care of you".

God has blessed me with Mike´s teachings, particularly the one on forgiveness. I´m taking my first steps to be walking in forgiveness so I can live in God´s healing. It´s an awesome thing to have more understanding of what forgiveness really is. I was also blessed by my team this last week by their encouraging words and prayers. I´m blessed by the smiles and laughter that was shared this last week with our team. I´m so thankful for God bringing our team together, they all are so speacial. God Bless you all!

Love in Christ,

Alisha Curtiss
