You know you're a YWAMer when...

You know your a YWAMER when someone asks you when are you going on the mission field next

You know you are a YWAm'er when your english just gets bad'er and bad'er but people still undestand you. :) It's called YWAM english....

You know your a YWAMer when you fail to see what's wrong with having 20 people in a 12 passenger van.

You know friends in just about every country.

You know you're a YWAMer when you come home with SOMEONE ELSE'S accent....eh?

You know you are a YWAMer when you leave your children with someone and you don't even know their last name and aren't worried.

when you go to your own country and hear the accent.

when you finally get to go "home" and it doesn't feel all that great...

You know you're a ywamer when on the next mission trip you go on with non-ywamers you pack everything you need in one small duffle while everyone else brings large suitcases.

you head out your door without any money and your not worried.

your mothers from country x, your dads from country y and you live in country z.
You speak 3 different languages in your family.

this is definitely the journey to know God and experience all that he has instore for you.....once a YWAMER will always be a YWAMER

when you said yes and amen to somehow "unknown"... but having peace in trusting, believing and obeying God!

...when you can't remember which spelling/pronunciation/common term is the correct one for your country of origin.

when everytime you hear the word YWAM you feel as if it's your last name

WE ARE NEVER GOING TO BE THE SAME ANYMORE!!!

when the other languages are not that foreign to you anymore...
....in fact, you even get this "foreigh accent"(after a few years living in other country) in your own native language.... weird, eh... and everybody bugs you about it... or keep asking you- "where you from?", when your are really @ "home".......

when your roommate is almost 40 and you still sleep in bunk beds

when a picture of "waves of young people crashing on the shores" isn't from some creepy nightmare

you find yourself randomly bursting out in song..in a foreign language..usually a worship and song and you make people uncomfortable because you aren't self conscious anymore bout your faith.

When your traveling and you can spot an international all ages crew of people with a guitar in hand and you know without asking that it is an outreach team!

When you know how to say "Hi" and "Thank you, God" in 25 differend languages.

You know you're a YWAMer when good-bye's aren't such a big deal cuz you know you'll see the person again somewhere else in the world.

you've walked up to a complete stranger and asked if you could pray for them

* when you are spoiled for the ordinary!

* when you organize your address book by country
* when you can't go on vacation, alone, ANYWHERE because you know SOMEONE, EVERYWHERE (YWAMer or supporter)!

you know you're a ywamer when you can only contact your friends and family through facebook, myspace, or skype.

You know you're a YWAMer when someone gets married, and the entire wedding looks like you're at a United Nations conference!

...And when you can't talk to half your friends, because they live in other countries. And when you can feel high-maitnence living out of a suitcase. If you've had 15+ roommates at a time. If you greet old DTS buddies in a different language. And if you've eaten weird ethnic food in your school dining hall everyday for months. And finally, if you've been through Dean Sherman's 'Relationships' and Spiritual Warfare' teaching and then met him while thinking "He doesn't look anything like he did in those 1980's videos."

when pretty much all the people around you has read "Is that really you God?" and knows where Luzanne is..

When your bed, couch, and office are all the same thing.

You know you're a YWAMer when you've been working outside of YWAM for over a year but you still consider yourself a YWAMer!

...you dream in languages you don't even know.

...you get random ywam group invites and actually join them.
...all your facebook goups and networks are all ywam related.

You know you are a YWAMer when you make a new friend, get close, then they move to another country.

I know I'm a YWAMer when I've had 36 roomates in 18 months!!!

You know you're a YWAMer when you can laugh at every single thing posted
