YAAY UPDAAATEEE :)

:D Hey everybody!

Thanks for checking in once again - or for the first time! 

i hope you'll like what you get to read :)

it has been SEVEN WEEKS?? what in all the world happened??
I'm sorry for being so slack on updating my blog - i guess after a couple of 'Lena, you haven't updated your blog in a while' it is finally time to go for it.

It has been pretty busy as you can imagine, we have homework and assignments, books to read and 'one on ones', class and other activities everyday till 3:30pm plus work duty.

We have different teachings every week and so far we had some pretty full one ministry teachings on walls of your heart, forgiveness and steps into healing.
Last week we learned about addictions and the upcoming week is gonna be about 'child development and bonding', which sounds very exciting to me.

the books we're reading and writing about are

'From Spiritual Slavery To Spiritual Sonship' by Jack Frost (haha i know!), 

'Ministering Cross-Culturally' by Sherwood G. Lingenfelter

and

'Walls Of My Heart' by Dr. Bruce Thompson

We have process-support-groups every Thursday, where our whole class is divided into 3 groups in which we get to share about how we're doing with the school, what we find overwhelming or challenging and what is helpful, how we're doing overall. We get to encourage one another and be part of each others lifes. I love it!!

Every Friday we have worship and intercession in the so-called 'Tabernacle' which is a place in the city that is always open for us to come, it has music playing and you can just sit and enjoy God's presence or sing or read or write or whatever you like. When we're there though, we have full on worship and prayer for the city and the compassion ministry that some of our students are involved in.

Saturday and Sunday are off, but we are asked to go to church, so I decided to go to a church called Vineyard, which is very cool, and open and welcoming. It's mainly in English, which is good since I still don't speak dutch. :)

I love you guys, please keep me updated with your life's as well, and feel free to ask my questions or just tell me what you've been up to! :) I'm always happy to hear from you!
