I can’t believe I am already writing my blog post for November; it feels like this month has flown by. I think a reason for that is I feel like I have finally gotten into a rhythm with the Fellows schedule. The first week in November, we went on our Micah 6:8 retreat at Camp Oak Hill in Oxford, North Carolina. All of the fellows programs from around the country went to this retreat, and it was very interesting to see these other groups and how they interact with each other. Although I did not love the food or the sleeping arrangements at Camp Oak Hill, I think the retreat made our group closer, and it really made me appreciate a lot of the aspects of the Raleigh Fellows, especially our fearless leader Ashley. I have continued to enjoy working at Redeeming Development Group, where I have experienced increased responsibilities over the last month. Our Old Testament and Just Leadership classes have continued to be very interesting, including an awesome field trip to Mt. Pleasant Worship and Outreach Center in Just Leadership. I loved learning about the amazing impact that Pastor Phillip Walker has had in that area, and the goals that he has for the future in that area as well. Before Thanksgiving, we went on another retreat, led by Jason Young, to Ashley’s lake house. I had a lot of fun on this retreat, and I really enjoyed learning from Jason about the six stones. Even though Thanksgiving break was less than a week, I missed the other fellows and Ashley when I was gone, which shows me how much I am enjoying being a part of this program. I have a busy but fun November, and I am looking forward to what is going to happen in December!
