XD is over. It’s good to be home, but of course I miss everyone that I had the privelege of spending time with . XD truly was an awesome experience that I won’t soon forget.

I wanted to say thank you to all the staff at the Core. Especially my shepherd Promise she was awesome. I also want to thank Ryan and Becca and their wonderful home that moved out of their house so that we could all come stay there. All I can say is, great is your reward in Heaven. I love you all! Also thanks soooo sooo much to everyone that stayed back and kept the home fires burning so that we could go to XD. you guys are number one in my book.

Here’s a little something someone received for all those who had a hand in making the core possible:

Jesus speaking:
Through your sacrifices big and small
You have proven to me and to all
That you are willing to do whatever I ask
That you are willing to say yes to any task
Though you may feel you have only been behind the scenes
I cannot express in words how much to me it means
Your love, your care, your sacrifices to each one
Will not be forgotten even when it is done.
I am so touched my dear darling brides by the love that I see
And remember that whatever you have done unto the least of these you have done it unto me.

I didn’t get all the e-mails of everyone that I wanted to, so if you’re one of those people who wants to stay in touch with me, but you didn’t give me your e-mail and I didn’t give you mine, write me at rayn.storms@gmail.com. I Love you all!

Oh and Happy birthday to my little Brother Chris. I love you and I hope you had a great Birthday.

It’s almost over

I got this from Boo, I’m not sure if it was on her blog or she sent it to me, but either way it’s beautiful and I’m holding on to the promises in it.

For all the work behind the scenes
For all the tears that no one sees
For all the dreams you’ve set aside
For all the times you bravely tried

For every hurt that you forgive
For every love you’re asked to give
For every alter of sacrifice
For every time you paid the price

For every weary, courageous smile
For every daunting, fiery trial
For every broken piece of heart
For every time you fell apart

For all these things He will repay
For it is said God works this way
That every time you yield your all
And endure the pain, great and small
That in return you’re doubly blessed
For you forsook what you cherished best

–Boo

Day 12

Posted on September 15, 2007 | Filed Under Pictures

Sorry I missed yesterday guys, was waaay to busy to post. So to get you up to date our air con is still broken, and we’re still practicing extreme praise. The classes are still great, the Island is still beautiful, and the shepherds are still swell. It’s kind of hard blogging while here as I’m not sure exactly what I can blog about so I’m trying to keep things pretty general. Anywho here’s some more pictures (since I know that’s what you want to see anyway) courtesy once again of the lovely Jules.

Day 10

Posted on September 13, 2007 | Filed Under Pictures

My brain is on overload. So much to learn so much to focus on and evaluate. Being at XD is an awesome experience and I’m just hoping that I’m able to get all that the Lord has for me during this time.

Some highlights so far have been , the amazing inspiring classes, getting to talk with the shepherds, all the reading material and time given to evaluate my personal discipleship, as well as the incomparable feeling of camaraderie that you feel when you’re in a group setting like this where you are all united in your goals and visions.

Yesterday our aircon had some problems so we turned it off. It was a great chance to pull out extreme praise, especially since we were in a girls room on the third floor with no fans, and 13 girls….I think we must have done pretty good with our praise cause the Lord worked it all out and now our aircon is back to filling our room with icy cold air :) Life is great and God is good.

Thats all for now. Check back later for more updates and pictures. Oh, and all the photos from today are all courtesy of Jules and her wonderful photography skills :)
