love feast:]

Hello hello!

So much has happened since I last wrote! It's always hard to try and sum up what Im experiencing and what God is doing, but here goes!
Last week, all of our class topic was on worship and intercession. It was very different from our other classes, because in the middle of class we would often stop and just engage in worship to our King. It was so freeing! Our teacher, Cathy Hieser, has such a heart for us to grasp that God is so near to us and we are so dear to Him, and out of that, she wants our praises to pour forth! It was so great! Every week here we encounter a new aspect of this God that never changes, and all I want is to go deeper still. I'm beginning to once again get a passion for the Word of God. Also, I am writing songs! Which is such a big deal for me to write songs and actually play them on guitar in front of people! Now, I realize that most of you that are reading this are probably my super cool musical friends and may not be impressed. But its all about the baby steps, baby baby steps!
Now, you may be wondering why this post is labeled "love feast". Well, tonight was love feast night. So basically our great staff here turned the dining hall into a dimly lit, beautifully decorated feast! Everyone was dressed to impress and we had a grand night! Our wonderful school leader, Alen, escorted each of the ladies to a seat where we were served delicious food...yum! We ate and drank (iced tea) and had such a merry time just relaxing and enjoying each other's company.
I am still loving my time here, and I'm still being challenged daily...but I love it. Can't wait to talk to and see you all again soon! I'm hoping to be making a trip home at some point...yeah! Love you all!

P.S. I am sad to inform you all that there is snow here...boo.
