Hello Everyone! I am so excited to share what has been happening here in Raleigh.
First I wanted to take a second to thank everyone who donated and supported me financially for me to be here to experience the Lord like I have. I am excited to announce that the day before this program started I was officially fully funded. This was the biggest prayer answered and I am blown away by the genreosity and kindness of those around me. I never thought I would have the opportunity to be blessed the way I have been. So once again thank you for trusting the Lord and trusting me to follow his path.
Lets get into it!
This month has been amazing, and I have been having so much fun! We have really gotten into our classes for the fall now and it’s been so much fun! The first class we started was Just Leadership. We are learning about how to be good advocates and voices for God’s unheard people. We took a pilgrimage through downtown Raleigh one Friday morning and we were told of the citi’s origins, how things were covered up, and how to be a good neighbor. Another class we are taking is Family Systems. This class is about how families work and dives deep into how we were brought up, still caring family trauma, etc. So, as a psych major I am just loving it. We are also taking Bible classes, and this fall is the Old Testament, and I am learning so much about just the history and how Jesus was so present in the Old Testament, I truly had no clue. It is such an amazing insight with our teachers Ryan and Emily Walker, they are so wise and passionate about the word, it’s just beautiful.
I am so excited for what is to come. In November we are going to DC for the national conference for The Fellows Initiative and we are also going to Nicaragua!
