I made it!

Hey friends! I have officially made it through the first week and loved every minute of it. We learned the inductive bible study method through study Philemon. I am amazed at how much God can speak to me through just twenty five verses.

I just want to take a minute to praise God for getting me hear. I could not have planned something this good. He is so faithful to provide for his children and direct there footsteps. The more I step out in faith and the more I reach out for God the more amazing I realize he truly is. I am not only coming to God and his word with an open mind, but with an open life; I’ve only seen a glimpse of his perfect character and he’s so worth it!

For nine months I have but one goal; to sit and interact with the Lord through studying the Bible in a multi-cultural and missions-minded environment. What I privilege I have to journey through Gods story with 44 other students from around the world. I am so excited to share with you my journey with God during these two years; from a monk in Montana to a Missionary oversees. I hope God uses some of my stories and some of my learning’s to encourage you into a deeper and more fruitful relationship with God.
