So our 24/7 week of prayer finished up yesterday. And I'm pretty bummed about that. It was an unbelievable week. Each hour in that room was a different experience for me. Every time I walked into that room, there was always something new-drawings and pictures up on the wall, verses and written thoughts and prayers, it kept changing throughout the week, and it was super neat to see how God had inspired and spoken to all of us during our time with Him. It was amazing to see how fast the hour went by every time. It would feel like you had just gotten in there, and then the next person would be coming in. I felt disappointed sometimes when I would hear that knock at the door, and come to the realization that my hour had passed. God showed me a lot about the power of prayer throughout the week.
Our chapels during the day, were some of the best ones we've had so far this year at Kaleo. The stories that were shared by some, were so impacting and powerful, they brought me to tears on more than one occasion. I really felt the presence of God working and moving in the lives of the students here. A lot of walls came down and people were able to be real and raw with one another and just completely surrender everything to Him. On Monday night, we had a super neat chapel that took us up Maple Mountain (here at Qwanoes), we put on our hiking boots and strapped on our head lamps and hiked up the mountain to the top where we built a fire and all joined together in prayer and worship and had Communion together as well.
Because of the prayer week, we didn't have too much else going on, other than busily working away on papers and other homework that had due dates speedily approaching. This week we had our final Camp Ministry course paper due, as well as all the pre-course readings work for our Church Ministry course that started today. Our female intern, Jen Lee, is the daughter of our professor, Dr. David Lee, for that course. It's only been one day of class so far, but I'm looking forward to the rest of the week, and the new things that will be learnt and touched upon in his class. He's already brought up some interesting topics and challenging questions. The discussions are brewing...
Well that's all thats been happening with me this week. I hope you all are well:) I'm looking forward to coming home to the Valley for three weeks this next month and seeing you all once again. Thank you for your prayers and support! (My nasty cough is no more, and for that I am truly grateful) Continue to pray for strength and that God will continue to use me to reach out to the kids in my Lake Cow youth group.
