To the Lord your God belongs the heavens, even the highest heavens the earth and everything in it. Yet the Lord set his affection on your forefathers and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants above all the nations
There is seriously one of the cutest kids alive on the Kona campus. Her name is Arrow, and please just take a look at the picture below for all the proof you need.

With all of these cute kids on campus, I realized something about myself. I am the type of person that will chase down kids and give them hugs and kisses, whether they like it or not. Honestly, most of the time the child will scream and run away. Ha! But I simply can’t help myself, they are just too cute!
The other day as I was thinking about this, the Lord reminded me that it is the same with him. He could chase us down and make us love Him. However, it melts his heart when we choose Him. When we go to Him on our own initiative. Even when there are lots of other people to go to, we choose to go to Him.
When there are hundreds of other options of ways to spend our time and who to spend our time with, I invite you to choose Jesus. Just like when the cutie above chooses me, it will move His heart!
The Prayer Room in Kona! This is basically my second home. I sing on the worship team on Thursdays and lead intercession around the topic of Matthew 9:38 (release of harvesters) on Fridays for the corporate sets from 1-3. Also, Anna and Ben (the first two people talking) are my housemates and the girl singing the song in the background is my dear friend Lindy Conant (her CD is coming out soon!).
Luis Bush spoke during our corporate meeting this past Thursday. Many of you are probably familiar with Luis as he pioneered the 10/40 initiative. Now he is pioneering a new one - the 4 to 14 window.
This past week I had the privilege of teaching the 7 and 8 year-old kids on campus about worship and prayer. Yes, discipling is hard and time consuming, but so worth it! Let us continue to invest in our youth!
