so my first week is almost over and I am just filled with every time of emotion you can think of.
I have feelings of relief, overwhelming feelings, grateful ones, scared ones... and probably more. haha.
Today class was an amazing one, we focused on relationships and leadership. How to we maintain boundaries, how to handle healthy confrontations with people, and how to have people in your life that will truly mirror who you are (basically meaning someone who will tell you the truth and not sugar coat who you are). We had some great discussions and I learned so much. God definitely used today to truly shed light on a lot of my insecurities, fear of rejection, and people pleasing. I also realized that I have a tendency of not finishing everything that I start and if I do finish things... sometimes I don't finish strong. I made a commitment today to change that. I truly want to spend this net season of my life disciplining my body physically and spiritually. I want to run this race with no regrets. And with all that Im going to be learning, I want to be able to truly take it and apply it to my life without any weak areas preventing me from doing so.
So I'm counting on all of you to keep me accountable. haha.
Also, we spent time in our discussion talking about the one person that had the most influence in bringing us to this school of ministry. I wanted to take a moment and honor my person on here.
I actually couldn't just pick one cause there were 2 names that instantly popped out. Kim Ortiz and Blanca Ma. Since the first day I met both of these women I have had so much respect for them. They made my move to L.A. so easy. They are woman of grace and patience and wisdom. Both of these women have helped me in my entire journey/ adventure I've taken this past year and when my youth pastor (Kim's husband) approached me about coming to Hawaii, both of these women gave me such encouragement and wisdom to go. I look up to them so much and I just feel so honored to be able to call them my best friends.
So thank you Kim and Blanca for all that you do!
thats all folks! Until next time.
P.S. I posted a few pictures from my run on facebook. I didn't bring my camera cause I was an idiot but I attempted to capture the beauty from my phone. Seriously though, its just like the stories you hear about a hard journey but the reward being worth it. Well let me tell you, running 30 min up a steep hill is torture but the view is probably the most breathtaking views Ive ever seen. Totally worth every pain I experienced getting there.
Love you guys!
