1 Corinthians 13:1-8

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Orientation Day and Enrolment

So I'm a little behind on my updates but...I must tell you about orientation day, which was on the 13th of July. It was SO good!! I was truly blown away by it. There was so much of a focus and emphasis on fixing our eyes on Jesus. We worshiped between speakers and once again I felt with all my being that I am meant to be here. Such a good feeling to know you are walking in God's will in order to carry out the purpose and plan He has for your life!! Woo!! I would give you all the details but...I should leave some element of suprise in case someone who reads this decides to come here. (Sorry Crystal...but know that I still didn't tell you everything :) )Basically, the whole staff served us all day and made sure our focus was on Jesus. Definitely the best orientaion I've ever been too!

Enrolment was the next day. My stream that I will be studying is Pastoral Leadership. In case you are wondering there are also worship music, dance, and tv & media streams. The college has recently changed the curriculum and now you also have to choose a pathway, which is a more focused area of study. There are six pathways to choose from in the pastoral leadership stream: kids, youth, young adults, social justice, events, and church ministry. I chose "church ministry." I've served with kids in the past and love doing it, but I feel God wants me to experience other areas of the church. This pathway allows me to do just that. So it's good and I'm excited about it!
