I have been here in Spokane for a month now today and here are some of my thoughts.
The sky-line is beautiful. My classes are good I need to get caught up on homework. Already which for me is a bad sign I need to find my study style and timing in which I study best. So my reflection:
Its really dry in spokane compared to minneapolis.
People don't really water their grass.
Lots of my Professors like Piper and so do my classmates.
Lots of people like me which makes me happy.
Living in a house with 5 other girls is interesting.
I'm sinful and am not always kind
My allergies act up a lot
My asthma acts up a lot also
I got homesick often
There is an Acts 29 church out here which I really like its a young church meaning there is not a lot of older people there.
I like my roommate
She is nice she was a missionary kid in china
The housing area I live in consist of 35 other girls so it is kind of like a dorm which is nice.
There is a women here by the name of michelle that I really like she is 25 likes to rock climb, bolder, white water raft, run, camp and lots of other stuff I think she is awesome and that God placed her here to minister to me.
What I am learning:
I am prideful
I don't like to ask for help
I can be a loner
I have self pity parties sometimes
I procrastinate
I need to think outside of me
I need to rely more on God and less on myself
God is an amazing provider and Father
God's love endless
His mercy is new every morning
That I can walk by faith
That God is Faithful
That God is Love
That God is interested in me as His child
that I need to got to sleep earlier
That I need to do what I know is best for me school wise
Some other things I'm learning is that consistency is a good thing, I have a lot of convictions and have not put them into action. God has given me passions for urban ministry and I just don't know how to get started.
Things I hope to get out of my moody education
For my head knowledge to be in my heart and shown by my life.
Prayer request that I would be graceful and filled with grace for the people I live with
Nice to hear an update! I'll be praying for you. Hopefully I can make it out sometime before I leave for school!

ReplyDeleteGo do things in the mountains, cause mountains are amazing. I'll try to remember to pray for you, it was great to talk to you the other day. God is super amazing! He's got you in his hand, and no one is able to take you out. (John 10) -Keep in touch
