Relationships, Spiritual Warfare, and Evangelism were the last three weeks!!! Relationships week was interesting. Rather funny how everyone in my school had there own opinions more so than previous weeks. It was good, everyone had there two cents to put in. I would have had a lot of problems with this week if I hadn't learned what i did under the mentor ship of Josh Keller. He made everything so straight forward and; even though certain things were not what i wanted to hear, he lead me down the right path. I by no means am saying i know everything about relationships, NOT EVEN CLOSE, but i have a refreshing take now that i have been blessed with. Its all up to Him.

Spiritual Warfare. I gained a lot of knowledge and solidity from the Bible. Reinforcing what the Holy Spirit does, can do, and will do if one acknowledges its presence. Very difficult to explain this week to ALL OF YOU cause i am still processing and studying all that was presented. I did memorize a piece of Scripture that i love though and was unfamiliar to until a few days ago. "The fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and...(had to look it up LOL!!) Self-Control." Aaaaamen!

Evangelism week sounded really scary at first. But I learned that we would be helping out an organization called the Red Frogs. Every year the schools of the graduating class (high school) migrate to the coast for a week straight of partying etc... It is called "Schoolies," or prom on steroids. The school pays for them to have schoolies every night where they are allowed to be drunk on the street, worry free, can drink as much as they want. I was blow away by this. Anyway I talked to a lot of kids and even adults, told them what i was all about and a lot of them were surprisingly open to our being there and just hanging out. Some where not of course, one person saying after we walked up..."i don't believe in God" I thought it was really funny. We didn't push it on them at all, we were just lovin on em. So good. Actually the very first night and the very first person I talked to was Adam. He was a schoolie who traveled 8 hours to be there. We were just joking around and then all of the sudden, just like that were chatting about Jesus, religion, his views, his family, keep in mind he was not a believer. True athiest.  I told him my testimony and he was blown away that God had transformed my life the way He did. The best part of all of this was the next evening i had looked forward to seeing him but didn't. And the next evening i didn't see him. I was really bumbed at this point but soon i learned that he had been talking to other people in my DTS. Asking more questions about God, where he could get a bible, and how amazed he was at how God had rocked my own life. I was overcome with emotion with what God was doing, causing him to ask questions to others. I believe God is going to find Adam, and i thank God for giving me courage in sharing my relationship with Jesus and the impact He has had on my life with others.

Evey day here is a(n) adventure, mystery, joyous, exciting, sometimes hard, curious etc... interaction with the Holy Spirit, Lord Jesus Christ, and my Father God. Amen and thank you for reading. I love you guys. :)
