Week 2: ok, this is week two and we were super busy with classes so there is a lot and i don’t really know how to put it into words so sorry if nothing really makes sense! cool beans! One chapter of the bible that really impacted me this week was Romans 12! This week we had our base director, Ken Mulligan, speak on clear conscience…wow what a week, there is so much that we learned. Some of the main points that he spoke on was: -Right from wrong: the process of removing guilt from your life, meaning, the things that separate you from God, and then taking that and learning how to walk in a close relationship with Christ -Trust: foundations and qualities of learning more about God and into his characteristics such as trusting him and letting him dig deep into your heart to bring peace and freedom to things that aren’t bringing you closer to God -foundations for growth: it all starts at the root of where our hearts are at, then how that turns into our actions, which is the fruit of the tree, and with that is how we treat other people and what we think of God. Having communication and setting boundaries in your life that honour God is also another huge aspect to walking closer to God. As well as honouring authorities such as honouring your mamma and father, and having a good relationships with your family or learning how to work on restoring your relationships with friends and family -Forgiveness and renewal: We had a time at the end of the week to stand in front of everyone and acknowledge and confess our sins to God, we had the opportunity to forgive God and work through things that God had put on our hearts to share. Sorry if this is super unclear and doesn’t make sense..its just super hard to explain but i hope it is somewhat clear. But i know that God gave us purpose and established our value for eternity. Therefore we need to have a clear conscience with God because God wants to set you free, He retains the right to intervene meaning we have our own choice but you have to take responsibility for your actions and become right with God to discover THRUTH and your VALUE which is so cool!! A lot happened this week and it can’t really be put into words but i will give a little tid bit. It was a very hard week and really intense for me because of what God was teaching me. It was hard because i needed to dig some things out of my heart that i have been pushing down and hiding that i knew wasn’t right, but after asking God for forgiveness and getting prayer and direction i feel like my heart is lighter and God has been able able to rinse out my heart, He has given me new life and joy which is an unreal feeling. God has given me so much grace and freedom and i am so thankful. Its crazy to just realize how much God cares about me and how much purpose and value He has made me to be and I’m excited to figure out more what that looks like!! After an emotionally exhausting week we had the weekend to do some fun stuff together as a family so this weekend we went to billabong which is a big aussie zoo where a lot of the animals just roam around like kangaroos, and theres lots of aussie animals like you can take pics with them, which i posted already. Afterwards we went to a picnic area where we had burgers and swam in alligator river’ (don’t worry, there weren’t any alligators in it) which had big swimming holes in it. It was a super fun day to hang and chill in the sun, and then sundays are usually just days to relax and hang out and get last minute homework done (but its best not to leave it till last minute :/). But ya, overall it was an amazing week but I’m pretty tired and i still got my cough but I’m excited to just keep going hard and diving deeper into what God has in store for me here! This week we are starting identity so its going to be pretty legit! Talk to ya’ll soon! G’day mate! Love you all!
