Have a "Happy Holly Jolly Crazy Colorful Fun-filled Surprising Christmas!"
Heyo, my faithful followers, friends and family!
I hope you all are having a great Christmas season! I know I am (so far!)
Just a quick update for y'all! You should be proud of me... this is two posts in one month! New personal record for me here!
In IBEX, things have been busy, moving at a fast pace for a good three weeks since Thanksgiving break! We continued to have our classes with Jaisy, Pastor Tim, and Pastor Eric, and are extremely greatful for the time they have taken to come teach, mentor, and hang with us! After this Christmas Break, we will have two new teachers, and we will get to continue our theology class with Pastor Eric.
I have really been enjoying our courses this quarter. Pastor Tim has been teaching us about change, and I've come to the realization that I don't really like big changes! But it's ok... I'm learing how to lead people into change, and learning how to deal with change myself! In Pastor Eric's class, I always leave with so many questions! Usually if I talk it out, I can find the answer. The fun thing about theology is that there isn't always a right answer, and there is alot of material that is difficult to wrap your brain around... I love having the gears in my brain churning until they jam... at that point, it's just good to know that God is always faithful and good, regardless of whether we have the answers or not!
Our online course, TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Sanguage), is keeping us on our toes! It is alot of work to keep up on, on top of all the other stuff we have going on. What's awesome about it is that I will be certified to teach English in other countries once it is completed!
More exciting news- we have begun meeting in our GO (Global Outreach) teams! Woot! I am so excited to be a part of TEAM THAILAND! We are beginning to raise funds for our trip- we need $75,000 to send both teams to Thailand and Kyrgyzstan for 2 months. We are trusting the Lord to bring the funds in, through generous people, creative fundraisers, and miracles! (If you would like to help us reach our funds goal, please see the "How can I contribute" tab of my blog!)
Speaking of funds and raising money- I hope you all know about Wednesday Night Dinners at Lifegate Church! On Wednesday nights from 5:30-6:30 we are serving meals for just $3! All funds go to our Global Journeys! For just $3, you can purchase a delicious meal, hang out with the IBEX students and fellow Lifegate members, and contribute to our trips to Thailand and Kyrgyzstan!
As well as the dinners on Wednesday Night, we also are offering Pies for Thais and Kyrgyz! For just $15, you can buy a frozen, homemade, ready-to-bake pie, made by the IBEX students! The money goes towards our Global journey fund, and the pie is a delicious, easy-to-make treat you can pull out of the freezer, and pop in the oven to share with your friends and family!
All right... enough of the fundraising talk... back to the holiday...
It's great to be home, enjoying family and friends, and getting to sleep in!!! We are on break till the 2nd, where we will be going on a retreat for a week. So, until then,
Have a Happy Holly Jolly Crazy Colorful Fun-filled Surprising Christmas!
And don't forget why we are celebrating! :)
Happy Christmas!
