Last week we had Christ Lautsbaugh come and speak on grace (first week of teaching). It is was my third time hearing the message and in all honesty, I walked into the classroom thinking I’ve heard it all, I got this already. Quite arrogant. By the end of the week I appreciated the week so much realizing I need to hear the message of grace over and over again. I need to be reminded of what Jesus actually has done. I can’t get enough of grace, I need God’s grace everyday.
Over to this week (third week already!) Fred Barington is talking about the Father heart of God. It’s been emotional, good and redeeming. Walking through forgiveness of our earthly fathers and accepting God as a Father and His love.
I am really enjoying the times of worship together as a class - we listen to God, praise Him and He speaks to us. One of the students shared that during worship on Monday he really experienced the father heart of God and His love so deep. Like God was outside a door wanting to come in. God’s love is so great it moved him to tears. He hasn’t cried during worship before.
One of the highlights of the weeks has also been the time of student devotion, where they get an hour slot to share, show, create, lead the time with the rest of the class. :)
I feel so blessed to be part of this journey, it is really exciting what God is doing.
On a personal note, I feel like God wants to speak to me about intimacy with Him. Really knowing Him and not just knowing about Him.
Leading worship with one of the students. He has an amazing powerful voice :)
So gifted!
The men praying together.
Two of the beautiful students!
Home sweet home. I feel so blessed to stay in this place with 6 other cool people.
And it's like 10 meters away from base :)
Love /e.



God reminded me today of a few things I'd been arrogant of too. So true! And nice place :)
