Glass Case

Crazy but we are already halfway through the lecture phase of the school. I can’t believe how quickly the first 6 weeks have gone by. We have three more weeks of lecture then we do part of our local outreach “Schoolies” then our last 3 weeks of lectures. After that we will do the other part of our local outreach “Impact Summer” then off to Turkey! Each week I have been learning so much. Here are some highlights:

Week 1: We activate things with are words. What am I using my words to create? I am the chosen and adopted child of God. Never let anything someone has done to  me be bigger then what Jesus did for me.

Week 2: Was on hearing Gods voice, a bit hard to put into words but I will try..God is always speaking to us in many many different ways. Are we listening? We should know his voice better than our own mothers, best friends, sibling, voices.

Week 3: Evangelism is all about LOVE. It’s about relating and not a transaction. There is a difference between being an evangelist and evangelism.  This week was amazing I really enjoyed it, lectures were challenging and I loved the speaker this week. * I have loved them all but really enjoyed Dave*

Week 4: Probably the most challenging week in thought for me. I was in and out lectures for various reasons which made it a bit hard to track the content. The main notes I have are we are called to live a holy life. We are only as holy as out thought life. When you hear truth but don’t apply it, it leads to a hard heart. Godly sorrow leads to repentance, worldly sorrow leads to regret and trying to find ways to do it again w/ consequence. Sin is short term fulfillment with long term bondage. God asks for short term sacrifice in exchange lifelong freedom. We ended the week with 6 hours of ministry time, which was beautiful.

This week is Identity and Destiny, I loved this week on my school and hope our girls love it as well. Next week we will travel north to the Gold Coast base and join with them for a week on Lordship and Fear of the Lord with Mark Parker who is a legend in YWAM.

These photo are from the lounge wall on base. The triangles go all around the room and are a count down till our Turkey outreach. 76 days! The taped off area is our "family wall" we just put pictures of our community in it makes it nice a homey for all of us. :)
