2nd Day

Okay, so I'm not sure that I'll write everyday, but then again maybe I will. :) The second day of school was even more intense than the first. And when I say intense I mean your brain hurts because it's being expanded so much. It's crazy good in an exhaustive kind of way.

I began the day with what they call Prayer Encounter. It's 45 minutes of prayer before school starts. I get in there and Joaquin starts talking about praying from the third heaven. Just jumping right in and going for it from there. I'm still not completely sure what he was talking about, but I have some idea. I felt God's presence and everything, but I suppose I'm just not as charismatic as some people because it was crazy in there. When he asked us to brush anxiety off our neighbor's shoulders we did and then he starts yelling "Stop!" He didn't just yell it once either. He went onto explain that we had switched activities and gears. We had to start again only this time we were not to switch gears. When we switched activities we had to keep our hearts in the same place, the same gear. It was a very interesting learning experience. Crazy good.

We finally got to the rules and regulations on day 2. Those were not so fun. We have to park in the dirt, which there really isn't enough of so I'm not sure how that's supposed to work. So much for a clean car. :) We were assigned services as well. Not so fun either, but there's 500 of us and then all the normal church people. Bethel has never had a class this big. They had to order 5 trailers just to accommodate the other activities they have going on and the maintenace crew had to do some serious work on the plumbing after day 1 because the toilets were going crazy.

Pastor Kris also spoke yesterday and it was so good, again. I don't know how they do it. It was mainly about honor and how it has almost ceased to exist in our culture. Definitely changed my view on a few things. He was relating it back to laying on of hands too. I'll have to get my notes out and post about it, it was good stuff.

Last night, I decided to go to this prayer and worship thing at Breaking New Grounds. It's a Christian owned Coffee House that opens up to the Awakening 20 Ministry on Wednesday nights so we can have prayer and worship. I met some great people and the worship time was out of this world. I even met a girl from Columbus, OH, but I can't remember her name. oops. I hate small talk and going to places where I know no one, but I survived. :) This one girl even asked to pray for me as soon as she met me. That was good. Everything's good.

And lastly, I won my first item on ebay. Very exciting.
