So I woke up this morning and this was on the door:
Reading again about God's love for me was a pretty amazing way to start the day.
Then we went downstairs for brunch. The room was decorated with heart garlands. The tables were set with napkin flowers and fake roses, and this was on the chalk board:
And that's not all! All of the men of the base were dressed up, in button-up shirts, waistcoats and/or suit jackets. That's when we knew something else was happening. They told of all us girls to sit down at the tables. After waiting for a bit, with all the guys in a huddle talking in low voices to each other, they moved to the front of the room. There, they said that they wanted to honour us all as women, and sisters in Christ, and that they were going to serve us brunch. So one man went to each lady, asked her what she wanted, and then brought back a plate full of pancakes, fruit, bacon and yogurt. They had prepared all of it (and they were going to do the dishes too)! Brunch was delicious!
And that's not all! Next, while we were eating, the guys moved to the front of the room again, and they sang a song that John and Dillon had written for us all. It might be too small to read in the picture, but here's a taste from the second part of verse 1:
I hope this isn't seedy, I hope I don't impose
We're not tryna win your heart, we're not going to propose
But we love you, we need you, the women of the world,
The mothers, the daughters, the sisters and the girls.
It was so beautiful, and I was smiling so hard!
And that's not all! The guys disappeared for a little bit, and then came back with a red rose for each of us! I was amazed, and felt so loved in a sister-in-Christ sort of way. This whole morning has been a huge blessing, and it really touched my heart and put a smile on my face. I am very grateful for all the amazing men here at YWAM Dunham.
Me, Shaynna, Aurélie and Maria with our roses.
Shaynna and Aurélie, ready to tango.
