I'm here! I'm here! Currently residing at the Blakney House, property of YWAM-Charlotte with the new address of:
418 Franklin Street
Monroe, NC 28112!
I really like it here! We're not sure what our outreach country will be. I live in an old, huge, wonderful mansion. it has 4 floors, including basement and attic. My work duty is hospitality and housekeeping-there is a lot of house to keep people! but it is good for me. Mornings are chilly, afternoons are warm. I live in a room with four triple bunk beds that are all full of girls. Only three beds are empty.. don't worry-the room is BIG :). I LOVE class. I'm enjoying and getting to know my new friends/housemates. Salvation army is visible from my front porch. My days are full and sleep is sound. We go to the gym three times a week.. and I feel the burn. With DTS combined with the WISE school there are 12 girls and 1 guy. Poor Joseph! Haha-he loves it.
What I've learned so far:
YWAM is a program of growth.
YWAM is a place of learning.
who you are.
even if you think you know.
you don't yet.
YWAM is a place of encouragement.
YWAM is an opportunity to love other people.
to serve other people.
Put all the YWAMer's together and you've got hundreds of thousands of people.
Youth With A Mission.. literally-we're on a mission.
for this house.
for this neighborhood.
for our outreach country.
for the world.
I am now a YWAMer.
I am now a part of a huge movement.
I think that's pretty sweet.
Where I live-The Blakney House!
Sara, Lindsay, Crystal, Cassie, Stephanie, Whitney and Kenza-DTS students.
More to come...

Welcome to the tribe, my friend! I'm so glad that you are here and that I get to spend this time in your life with you! What a privilege for me.
i know just where you are w/ that pic of the world....and know what? when i saw that pic i thought, "linds is going to like that pic" and what do you know? you love that pic! and know what else? i love you. and i love that salvation army is visible from your front porch, come on? how often can a person say that in life? and how many people can say they've ever slept in a triple bunk? tyler says, "hi lindsay, i love you lindsay, i love lukie and i love lindsay."
