Week One

Well, I survived the first week of intensive teaching for Timotheos... barely.

I have decided to take on the leadership position of a project in our prayer room. Basically consisting of demolishing 3 walls, a ceiling, cleaning it, and redoing the wall. Except all of this was done by my AMAZING new friends and fellow interns. I can honestly say that all my team bonding trips for soccer were absolutely nothing compared to getting buck on some walls and having someone get slammed in the head with a 2 by 4.

So after this wall gets recreated it's basically going to be a giant mural painting of Greenville. A place for the body to come look at see where the Kingdom of God is advancing along with the Kingdom of Hell. A place for communities to put up their information and share stories.

I can see already that my biggest struggle with this is really stepping out of it. Realizing that I'm not just painting this wall for some people I care about. This is God's wall used for his purpose. I have to keep asking God what HE wants this wall to look like. I know it sounds so silly but the future effect on this wall can be so powerful.

I've also never really used my artistic talents in a way that would advance the Kingdom (on purpose anyways). So this is going to be such an awesome learning and leadership experience for me. I'll post pictures as it goes a long. :)

shummer

Only 2 days until Timotheos starts. I'm sure I'll be blogging about random theological mind boggling things as well as posting designs, and updates on our relationship with Haiti and life every 5 seconds.

Incase anyone was wondering.
