London Bridge is Falling Down
So since my last post, we have had a week of teaching on the Holy Spirit and Relationships, and we are trying so hard to savour every moment of this lecture phase. I am beginning to look at this course like eating an elephant, I have to take it in one bite at a time.
Something that was really impacting for me during the Holy Spirit week was praying to be able to receive God's eyes for hurting people, and understand more of His compassion. I really want to desire to think this thoughts for others and fear God not man.
Relationships week was pretty good and just a refresher for a lot of things I have already heard.
"Do not the the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives the devil a foothold." Eph 4:26-27. This verse stuck out to me because I sometimes keeps a list of how people have hurt me, and I think by recognizing my anger or bitterness I will not let strongholds build up in my heart. I know Jesus has torn down the stronghold of my heart when he died for me, but I am still going through the rubble clearing process.
We had a testimony night tonight for the September DTS and I was beginning to think about going home. I know when I hear God speak I want to see the whole picture, but He is really teaching me to obey him through the journey. I began to think about what I will look like when DTS is finished, but I don' know. I want to know what an impacting week for me is going to be, and I want to know what I will carry away from this season. I long to know, but all I can do is
Ave and I had such a wonderful time in London for our first anniversary, and was so cool to see all the historic sites. We didn't pay to go into anything, but it was so amazing seeing the Gothic architecture. Riding the tube was fun, and it reminded me of Marta surfing in Atlanta. I have decided that I love the big city in theory, but not so much when I get there. It was a little overwhelming for me, and I am glad we are back here in Scotland.
Sorry I didn't post any pictures this time, but Ave did on our Flickr account so check that out :)
Currently listening to Ryan Long and missing our "Family" in the Attic!
