Hearing God's Voice

Alright! What an amazing week this has been! This week we had almost all of our time set aside to experience and practice hearing God's voice in a new way.

Monday: We had worship before class started and then we began with Auntie Pam giving us an introduction to the week. After class, I had a normal ish afternoon. In the evening we had a community social for all the students who live in the village community at the church. It was tons of fun and we played games and ate and got to know our neighbors.

We chilled in the fridge (literally)

Tuesday: We had class again and some people were given words over their life and the leaders shared with us how they hear God's voice best. There are so many different ways to hear and see God and it is so comforting to know that there's not only ONE way. The idea is to be open and on the look out in EVERY aspect of life to see what God is trying to tell you. And He will always speak to you in a way you will understand. At the end of class we got to go outside and practice hearing God. In the afternoon, I read and just chilled. That evening before duties we had a little tea party in my room. It was so nice to just talk with my sisters about what's going on this week and everyone is really seeking and listening for the Lord!

Wednesday: "Wise Wednesday" as it is now called in our house. Our house leader began the day with this question (from an Andy Stanley teaching): "In light of my past experiences, current circumstances, and future hopes and dreams, what is the wise thing to do?" This really makes you contemplate what you do with your time huh? After breakfast, I was sitting and chatting with Lesinda and a bee stung me! It was quite random but no worries, I'm not allergic. Class was amazing again and it was a rainy day all day which I think is absolutely lovely! Then we had the seeking session that night.

Thursday: It rained ALL day. But it was amazing! We practiced hearing God through all five senses so we walked outside in the rain for a few minutes! After class we had our first and last chapel of the term! It was incredible! Afterwards we had community lunch and then I came back and read in the afternoon. (I'm currently reading the Anne of Green Gables series). Later that evening, a few of us girls had another discussion on what we talked about in class. It was so cool to hear confirmation from other girls and to give reassuring words to each other!!

Friday: We had plotties as usual in the morning and then there was no community project. I got to call my sister and chat for awhile. Nothing too exciting happened and it was a very relaxing day.

Saturday: I got up super early! Lesinda, Anika, Daniel, Simeon, and I went to Simeon's brother's rugby match. It was my first rugby match to go to and I really enjoyed it!! Afterwards we went to hang out at Montecasino for the rest of the day until we would go to the theater there to watch Singin' in the Rain. Montecasino is absolutely beautiful! It's a mall that is set up inside like a little Italian village. So we walked around and enjoyed the day. The musical was brilliant! It was so awesome to see it on a stage! We got home extremely late but it was a wonderful day!

Sunday: Sunday was Pastor Louis first service! He was inagurated and prayed over and then he shared a prophetic word over the church. I am so thankful to be here and experience this season with Hatfield Christian Church. We had ice cream afterwards and I hung out with my friends outside for awhile. When we got home I read some more and relaxed until the evening service. The evening service was really amazing because it brought some things together for me that haven't really been making since throughout the week. It was a really special time. We had Connect afterwards which was amazing as usual.

 











It really was an incredible week! And it has really geared me up for our outreach coming up soon!
