This has been the most challenging week of Masters so far. A bunch of little things, and a few big things, have occured and it has taken a lot of strength not to be brought down. One thing I've learned from this is to praise God despite whatever I'm going through, because a lot more things are going right in my life than wrong. No matter what, the Lord is good, and it won't bring me down! On a more positive note, the cadre went so well. Here's a few pictures of Pastor Mike and the cadre:
My favourite class right now is verbal communications, and I am learning so much. I've been humbled so much in that class, and I'm truly learning what it means to speak effectively. On friday we had to do a one minute sermon on a bridge over the freeway, in order to work on our projection. It was really funny to see what people came up with, and I never knew how loud the freeway was!
I have been getting so close to the girls in my small group, Audax. Two of the girls slept over last night, and we went shopping together Saturday night. God is teaching me to humble myself as a leader, and not take their successes and failures personal. It is him working through me, and so all the glory belongs to him, and he is giving me more and more confidence as I step out in obedience for him. I am enjoying discipling these girls so much, and I really could do this for years to come.
This week we are working with Operation Blessing and doing an extreme home makeover, pictures will definitely follow! We are rebuilding four homes that were destroyed in a flood, and it is literally just like the T.V. show... except we aren't on T.V.! I'm so excited to change these families lives..
For roommate night we went to Graves Park and took a bunch of fall pictures. They turned out so nice, and I'll leave you guys with a few of them!
