So sorry its been a while since I've updated, it's been a pretty busy week.
First of all Saturday our church was helping out at this family fun day which consisted of a bunch of booths, a petting zoo with a llama!, pony rides, the best kettle corn ever, and some live music. It was pretty fun. I'm not gonna lie though, I was super tired. However, they stuck me in the kitchen and I was able to serve in there and that definitely gave me some energy to make it through.
Sunday's service was pretty amazing. We had our Every Nation president Steve Murrell here sharing about trying to hit the bulls-eye but sometimes when we miss it's because God has something else planned for us. He talked about things that distract us from God sometimes they aren't bad things but they are simple things.
Pastor Steve also taught our class yesterday and today and focused on the idea of discipleship. It was pretty spectacular. He taught us to stick with simplicity when it comes to making disciples. Its the same boring strokes but its effective. We should always and only be focusing on these 4 things engage, establish, equip, and empower. He also gave us a free copy of his book "Accidental Missionary" which I highly recommend for everyone. I started reading it and its so basic but good. Basically everything he taught us is in the book so that kind of helps. haha.
We had our youth executive meeting tonight and went over new strategies with the youth service and discipling them. We also discussed the middle school ministry and I found out more about what I'm specifically going to be doing with my internship. I'm super excited! I don't know the exact details but I will let you guys know as things unravel.
This week marks our 4th week of school. Super crazy to think I've already been here for a month. Over 1/4 of the way done. woot woot!
Well, I hope everyone is doing well. Thank you sooo much for all your prayers and support. KNow that your support is already impacting soo many.
Love you guys!
You always have word of encouraging for me sweetie. You amaze me in all what you do and how when you put your mind into doing something better for God, He always is right there for you. I'm just very proud of all your accomplishment. I'm very excite that you had received the baptist of the Holy Spirit. Just keep asking God for more of him and you would received more power. God is filling up your spiritual live to use you in an amazing way at LA ministry. I'm praying for you return that God would continue providing and that His plan to use you in LA would be in his will. Love you and Miss you so much.
