When i look back at this past week it feels like all of the activity that happened should have been in a three week time period. Our base accidently overbooked speakers so we actually had two speakers this week. One spoke on who we are in the morning and the other spoke on identity at night. Our night speaker was actually in L.A. and we set up a webcam and big screen at the front. I didn't even know that our world was capable of technology like that..but it was quite a new and amusing experience for me.
Here are some things from the week that challenged me: if we dont know who God has made us to be it will affect every area of our life, Hell knows more about your potential in Christ than you do and trys to do everything to prevent you from discovering it, it is in Christ that you find out who you are and what you are living for, God will never accept you more or less than He does now, there are no failures in the kingdom of God but all of God's children fail, unforgiveness imprisons you in the past and destroys the possibility of change, and IF YOU COULD JUST SEE THE WAY GOD SEES YOU. My favorite quote was this: "I pray that your life will be as wonderful as it was in God's mind when He created you." It was really good to just be reminded that God made me a certain way for a reason and it is not until you become confident and content with that truth that God can really show you your true potential.
Onto the general: A couple of us took a trip to a castle ( i dont remember the name...sorry!) but it was so beautiful. We did a lot of walking that day but it was worth it to see more of Switzerland. I am learning how to play the guitar. Should be interesting. Ive figured this is a good time to finally learn and there are people willing to teach me. I went for a 10 mile bike ride yesterday through the beautiful fall forest that is behind our base. Fall is definitely my favorite season in life. I just got done with my work duty and got to iron a bunch of table cloths and sheets. Ive concluded that the steam button is the best invention ever. Finally, two problems have come to my attention: 1. i am officially addicted to chocolate and 2. i cant speak French. Ya...that pretty much covers everything.
