On Tuesday we worked a fundraiser at the Georgia Dome, to help pay some of our tuition. Even when we are working we manage to have fun together, and so the time really flew by. After our fundraiser we had an undershepherd meeting at Pastor Adam and Lucy’s. As leaders of our small groups, it was nice to just have fellowship and talk about where our strengths and weaknesses as a team. I came out of it with so many ideas for making Audax better, and some practical ways to do it.
On Wednesday, we had a southeastern study hall, prayer, and Hosanna taught creative art and design this week. Wednesday night is Oxygen night and Jeanne spoke on the importance of relentless prayer. It was a very powerful message and I really believe that a spirit of desperate prayer was birthed in some of our students that night.
Thursday was 3rd year chapel day! It was incredible. They talked about the importance of vulnerability, and we had an amazing worship session as well. It was great to talk with our mentor families after and really see what was going on in their lives. I love the chances we get to really connect and build relationships that go beyond just having fun.
One thing that I loved about Friday was our family time. We went to a beautiful monastery in Conyers, GA which was especially nice this time of year. We walked in and talked about our year, and asked them if they are getting everything they came here for. It was another cool moment to connect with them and give them guidance about their first year here. We gave them a token; a glass jar filled with 227 black beans. Each bean represented one day at Masters, and we told them to look at it and always to make every bean count. They really liked it, so I'm guessing it went well!
On Saturday I had the day off; I did a lot of studying and caught up on some reading. It was nice to just be able to get stuff done that I haven't had the chance to.
Sunday was really fun. I had breakfast at McDonald's with Jordan and Allison, and Audax hung out and make tacos together. It was cool to make Sunday lunch together like a family! Late that night Beth and I went to the airport and picked up Pastor Mike for cadre. It was so good to see him again! He is helping out with the small groups in the cadre so we will see him for the next two days. It's nice to have a little piece of home here with us.
That's all thats really happened this week. We've been having a lot of tests before break, so I've been studying and leading a somewhat boring life. I'll keep you posted on my second year, and what happens on thanksgiving break!
