Beginnings

I was reminded yesterday of a day almost a year ago when I was talking with a friend of mine, telling him that the books I was reading weren't making me want to dig deeper into the Word, but were actually discouraging me from searching for answers in the Bible and causing me to question things that I should've known as truth. I didn't see what obviously needed to happen... for me to stop reading them and instead focus on Scripture.
Now I'm at Bible College! Who would've thought? This place is amazing, the community incredible. I've never had or heard of Christian leaders (in the place of honor like my teachers here) who take the time to get to know each individual personally and care so much about the details of my life. I've been here almost 11 weeks already and I'm blown away by the Jesus I see at school.
Thank you Lord for bringing me here.
Tomorrow we leave for camp! I hear its the Disney Land of camp grounds... we'll see!

Glad to hear that you are enjoying school and have already starting developing some good relationships. Was there a specific turning point over the past year or a gradual turn to wanting to study the Bible? It's good to be able to look back at our journey and see the confusing or troubling places. Hindsight is twenty/twenty, huh? That would make a good title for a blog. Oh, nevermind. :)

Jamie and Preston are in the air now, and will be back in BKK tonight, then home in the morning.

I remember feeling the same way my freshman year. PBC is a special place. I was never a big fan of camp - too much sun and huge distances to cover - but I hope you enjoyed it. And I hope you took the zip line, that was awesome.

It makes my heart happy to see that you are growing up and enjoying the place the Lord has for you. You deserve a season of rest in Him. I love you
