First Full Week

The Kings Lodge

Built in 1870

So I have been here a week so far and it has been AMAZING! I love all the girls on my team and the two guys are great as well! We are all getting along and bonding really well.
Our team verse is Psalm 23

          ¹ The LORD is my shepherd; 
             I have all that I need. 
          ² He lets me rest in green meadows; 
             he leads me beside peaceful streams. 
          ³ He renews my strength. 
             He guides me along right paths, 
             bringing honor to his name. 
          ⁴ Even when I walk 
             through the darkest valley,^[a] 
             I will not be afraid, 
             for you are close beside me. 
             Your rod and your staff 
             protect and comfort me. 
          ⁵ You prepare a feast for me 
             in the presence of my enemies. 
             You honor me by anointing my head with oil. 
             My cup overflows with blessings. 
          ⁶ Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me 
             all the days of my life, 
             and I will live in the house of the LORD 
             forever.

Because of this we all made sheep to hang in our class room. We also had team building and we played basketball. Surprisingly we weren't that bad!

At The Kings Lodge (TKL) there is another school here called School of Biblical Studies (SBS) and they are basically reading the whole bible like three to five times in 9 months! CRAZY! They are all really nice as well.

A good amount of the staff that work at TKL live here and some of them with their family's. They are all super awesome as well! It has been so cool being able to connect with them.

So far this week we have had lectures on Quiet Times, Listening to God, Prayer, Worship and The Cross. They have been very good and I had no idea how much there was to Jesus dying on the cross. I never realized that through his death and resurrection we are able to have so much more than the AMAZING forgiveness he gave.

We learned that when Jesus died on The Cross there was an Exchange of...

1. Forgiveness
2. Healing
3. Righteousness In Place Of Sin
4. Life In Place of Death
5. Blessing In Place Of Curse
6. Abundance In Place Of Poverty
7. Glory In Place Of Shame
8. Acceptance In Place Of Rejection
9. New Man In Place Of The Old Man

This was a super powerful topic and has really made me think.

In February or March I will be giving a sermonette to our class. If you could pray that the Lord would give me a topic to preach on that would be great.

We have had two different prayer meetings that were awesome! One of them was prophesied that there will be accelerated break through! We spent time doing intercessory and I enjoyed that very much!

I will try and do another update soon! 

Till then God bless and I pray you have had an amazing new year so far!
