So the past week was reading break, and quite honestly, it was wonderful. I loved being home and seeing my friends and getting to be a part of their lives in person once more. I spent a lot of time hanging out with friends in the evenings which was so needed! I think my highlights of my reading break are surprising my best friend (the look on her face was PRICELESS!), and hanging out with my mom, watching movies. So good to have that down time and I even got a bit of homework done! It was hard to come back, however, just because I have such a solid group of friends at home and I feel like I'm still trying to find my footing here...
The day after I got back here was my Old Testament Literature exam, and I didn't think that was too bad, to be honest. I studied with my roommate the night/morning before so I felt pretty good about the exam. That being said, I could be very wrong about how I did.
This past weekend was the Junior High retreat and I counselled... by myself! I have never counselled by myself before, and quite honestly, I don't want to again. I like counselling with a junior because I think that the girls get more attention that way. Even though, I still got to know them a little bit and have a glimpse into their lives and struggles. I got to have two of my campers from the summer in my cabin which was sweet because I got to follow up with them and see where they're at. Praise the Lord, they have been going to youth group and getting connected to a church!
We are now into our week of classes: Hermeneutics. So far, I'm finding it interesting as it is challenging me to look deeper into the Word and what I am reading in it. No longer am I just looking at face value, but I'm relating words to each other and trying to get meaning from them.
The youth group is having its launch at Cowichan Lake Baptist this week, so please pray that this will go well, and that this youth group can have a positive impact.
Also, I am feeling a bit discouraged so please pray for me!
