Drink the wild air

 8Den I hear my Boss tell,

“Who I can send?

Who goin go fo us?”

An I tell,

“Me, I can go,

Send me.”

{Dis, da Hawai`i Pidgin bible}

Tomorrow I board my flight back to where it all began, Oahu. The beautiful island where Jesus declared me worthy and more that enough. These last few months I have put 100's of hours into working and doing odd jobs to raise support, also a BIG HUGE thanks to my city, who has financially supported me so generously, I knew when I started this journey I couldn't do it alone so this is my thank you family and friends post for being here for me and keeping me somewhat sane. Don't worry I won't be gone too long, we can use computers to keep in touch and you can always send me letters. Keep reading my posts for updates and keep on shining! 

Blessings,

Allie 

Restless

Still my heart, hold me close
Let me hear, a still small voice
Let it grow, let it rise
Into a shout, into a cry

'Cause I know You're more than my salvation
Without you I am hopeless, tell me who You are
You are the keeper of my heart.

{small update}

It is now 3:41 in the morning and I am restlessly waiting to A go to work and B get home to take a nap. At the end of the week my church is having a youth conference (UG Conference) and I couldn't be more excited to see lives of young people devoted to Jesus and to worship with my brothers and sisters. Not this coming Friday but the next, (Good Friday) I will be having my going away party at Anthem coffee shop down in Tacoma, come by and say hello and hangout for a bit. The next day I hop on a plane God willing a flight opens up that day to Honolulu, Hi where I will be spending the next 2 years on and off.

Also, this is super random but I forgot to share with you guys about how my funding has been going! Since you probably asked and I just forgot to share, here it is, about 2 weeks ago I made a slideshow of my experience in both Hawaii and Nepal and some man was so moved by it, I later got a notification that $500 was added to my paypal! And from then on the money started to pour in again! I just recently got back from a trip from my grandmas and she more than blessed me with funds and goodies! Every time I start to doubt God, He reveals Himself in the most powerful and beautiful ways in our lives. 

My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you

bind them on your fingers, write them on the tablet of your heart

Proverbs 1&3

Blessings, Allie

Love will set me free

Hold fast my people and sing 
Through peace and through suffering 
All for the joy that it brings, to be free 
It's gonna cost us everything 
To follow one Lord and King 
True love endure everything 
To be free. 

"Hold fast like an anchor in the storm 
We will not be moved."

That was a lyric from one of my favorite songs, The Resistance by Josh Garrels. As most of you know I am leaving in 25 days, March 30th actually. But before I go here are some important dates. 

March 21-22nd is my churches United generation conference. {STOKED}

March 29th is my "grand send off" which involves all my awesome good looking family and friends showing up to Anthem coffee & tea located in Tacoma 

March 30 is my last day in Washington friends. 

March 31 is when I arrive in good ol Manoa Valley on the island of Oahu to start my 2 year commitment at YWAM Honolulu. Oh what joy it brings me just typing that.

 If you would like to chat or hangout before I leave, I would seriously love that! Please call me or text me!! (253) 709-7005 I couldn't imagine doing this without all my friends and family in the 253, you are all seriously so special and importnat to me!

Blessings,
Allie Metcalf
