I can't say enough about how wonderful the classes are here at training. As previously mentioned, I'm in the "Advanced Track" of training, and I am absolutely loving my classes on worldview and leadership skills. Today, in the leadership skills class, we focused on communication - particularly in the area of encouragement. We studied six different kinds of encouragement that Paul uses in the book of Philippians. I was encouraged just learning how I could be an encouragement! I can't wait to try out some of the "encouragement techniques" that were identified today. The neat thing about encouraging people (for me, anyway) is that I get so encouraged in the process!
Next morning:
Tamara, Mandi and I went for a walk in the woods yesterday. I don't know if I'm going to do that again, thanks to the poison ivy, poison oak, and TICKS that seemed to be taking the path by storm. Thankfully, I don't seem to have contracted anything of the poison variety and I only found one tick affixed to my personage. Phew. It was very pleasant to go on a nice long walk, however. Today our exercise plan is to test out the swimming pool. I wonder what hidden dangers lurk there? (Probably nothing besides being blinded by our pasty white legs....)
Praise: I'm praising God for excellent classes and increased unity among the classmates/team members! I'm so grateful to have Tamara as my teammate.
Prayer: Pray that will we be able to maintain our focus on the whole reason why we are in training: to be able to share the wonderful, amazing Good News of Jesus with those who need to hear it the most - children!
Have a splendiferous day!
