Time Flies

I knew when I decided to start a blog I would need to be disciplined in actually writing on the blog. As you can see, if you look, it has been over a month since I said I would start this blog. oops :) I have been learning so much about time management and apparently have more to learn, as we always do! This past week we had Rod Handley come and speak on Character that Counts. It was awesome, and at times convicting. We discussed character, integrity, accountability and much more and all of if seeing examples of scripture. 

We have started our big fall semester "project"/assignment. We are doing a Bible project where we basically create a detailed outline to use when we teach an overview of the entire Bible.. It is so exciting! Preparing and working on this assignment is so great because I am learning SO much! It is so fun to piece the Bible together, to understand it and to see the big picture! If anyone would ever want to do the walk through with me, I WOULD LOVE TO! When we teach it helps us learn!! 

During out time at the Kanakuk Institute we are placed in an internship. The internship is either with a church or a para church organization, majority of us working with youth. I was placed in Hollister with three other interns, we are one of the small intern crews. The staff guy Travis has done some awesome things with the kids in Hollister. God has used him in really neat ways. I have had the opportunity to meet with some senior girls and walk with them through some struggles, and have loved getting to see them grow during the small time I have been here so far. I recently got to join and help start an 8th grade small group. We meet Thursday mornings at 7 and are discussing current issues. I am so excited for this! 

This upcoming week we are discussing current issues of homosexuality, cutting and suicide. We are also doind Daniel with Joe White and a few other topics throughout the week. On top of our fun class schedule we are having a spirit week!! We are dressing up in different outfits everyday! We are also having a powder puff and flag football tournament this week as well!! We are so excited! Teams are already planning on meeting for practice to prepare, we like to take things seriously!

Things are GREAT here! I will try and do more brief updates, maybe focused on one topic. But I am excited to continue to update you on what the Lord is doing here at the Kanakuk Institute!!

Start of Something New

Hi Friends and Family! Through the pressure of my wonderful writer of a mom, I decided it would be fun to start a blog. I am excited to use this to update everyone on how life is being a part of the Kanakuk Institute. I have been here for three weeks and have learned so much already! It is so neat to see the confirmation from the Lord that this is where I am supposed to be. My prayer is that this year I grow in knowledge and understanding of the Bible and that the Lord would change my heart and mold me to be more like Him through studying and knowing His word better!
