Sooo, it's been a while since my last update, I am very sorry about that! the first weeks of SBS are seminar where we learn the method and practice and readjust our brains to the system and how to look at the bible how to research historical background and so on...It has been a challenging few weeks, but there is grace and God helps us all through it! the books we have covered to far ar: Philemon, Titus, Ephesians, Galatians, Mark, Luke and 1 Thessalonians, tomorrow we do 2 Thessalonians and then Philippians at the end of the week, so the schedule is and has been and will be pretty packed, but I knew this going into it.
I am glad to have found time to build relationships though, I think it is very important, at least if I plan on staying here it is good to know people outside of YWAM and SBS, so I have joined a home-group from my church- a bunch o f young adults that come together every week and share life and hang out and talk about God. This has been such a blessing to me and still is! I am also making good friends in my SBS, everyone gets a long really well and its such a blessing to be a part of such a dynamic, loving, school! God's peace, unity and joy really is over it!
God has been teaching me lately how he is a very personal God and how he longs not only to have relationship with us so that we can give that on, but even if we didn't he'd still want to be in relationship with us and how as it is in a marriage, there are some things that only a husband and wife share, and that is what makes their relationship special, God wants that for us as well! might seem funny, but I didn't realise that until last sunday, when God smashed me with that! [never thought I would say I had been smashed by God...]
so God is doing cool stuff and I am so so so blessed to be able to dig into his word everyday and get such a thorough overview and big picture of the bible as a foundation for the rest of my life in studying the lining, God breathed word of God!!

thanks for all prayers and may God reveal himself to you as you spend time in his living word!
peace and grace!
