So I feel like there are so many little things to update you on starting with yesterday.
Just to update some fun things from yesterday. I think most of you saw the pictures but just in case you didn't, 2 of my classmates took me to North Shore which is the northwest point of the island. We got to a certain point where most people stop but we went off roading slash 4 wheeling. It was sooo much fun, I had never done that before. We got to the point and we literally were able to see all of the west shore of the island and the north shore... it was gorgeous. Then as we were driving back, we stopped at this little cove and the water was sooo clear we ended up going snorkeling. My first time snorkeling thank you very much and it was super fun. So that was yesterday.
Now today was filled with really great classes on small groups and sharing the gospel. We learned a lot of great methods to small group and how a healthy group should look like. Part of our assignment was to pick a movie and relate it to our human desire for something more. I was super excited about the assignment cause if you know me, I love movie references and relating it to what Jesus is teaching me... especially Disney references.
So I thought it would be fun to share what I came up with on here.
Naturally I picked a Disney movie... A Bugs Life to be exact.
In A Bug’s Life, Flick is part of an ant colony who have been brought up thinking that there whole world is only within ant island and whatever they perceive is only what they can see. They want more in life but don’t think its possible. They are controlled by an evil force (the grasshoppers) who are making sure that they are distracted from their full potential and purpose in life. We also have a group of "circus" bugs who are being controlled by their boss who happens to be a flea. Both groups are searching for something more in life. They don't seem happy and satisfied in life. Its not until Flick goes out of his comfort zone and finds warrior bugs (who are really the circus bugs) that help him and his colony fight evil and realize what they were made to do. Its like that with God. He has given us a purpose in life and we may not be able to see it at first and we may have other forces distracting us, but there really is a purpose for each and every one of us and its not until we take that leap of faith and go out of our comfort zone that God will open our eyes to what he has planned for us.
Anyways, Im excitd about tomorrow. We have an amazing speaker coming to speak for the net couple of days. Steven Mansfield will be here from Nashville so hopefully Ill have some good things to report tomorrow.
Have a great evening everyone!
