Week one is officially coming to a close. Tomorrow I will have been here for exactly one week, and what a first week it's been! From overviews of the Trek program and of MBMSI, to sessions on finances and journaling, it has been an incredible week. Work duties gave a welcome chance to get moving with snow shovelling and an all day renovation project. We've spent the week getting settled, getting to know each other, living, learning, loving and having fun.
On Monday night, we read through the gospel of Mark together, which we have since been discussing. I am realizing more and more how valuable to look at each book of the Bible as a whole, rather than just separate chapters and verses. I find that I gain a much better perspective of the individual truths when looking at it within the whole truth.
I look forward to beginning our series on hearing God's voice next week, which is to be followed by a forty-eight hour silent retreat. A few prayer requests I have are:
1.) Discernment for Trek leadership as they decide on teams and team leaders in the upcoming weeks.
2.) That over this next week in learning about hearing God, and during our silent retreat, that I, and all the other Trek participants, would be opened and able to hear God's voice and what He wants to say to us. Please pray that I would hear His voice and experience Him in a way that I never have before.
I look forward to this next week of learning and adventure!
