I think, “Wow,” Is the best word to describe my year this
far. I’ve never cried, laughed, or a combination of the two, so much as I have
found myself doing in these past few glorious months. What a whirlwind they
have been. A wild crazy adventure has been my life. I’ve encountered God
through worship, seeing the sick healed, and being with some of the sweetest as
they come to know Jesus for themselves. I feel honored to be apart of Bethel
School of Supernatural Ministry. I’ve stepped into something I can’t quite put
into words.
I go to school Monday – Thursday. I am on the early
schedule, which entails that I go to school from 10:30am until 3:45pm (except
for Thursday). Beginning at noon every day the school gathers in the auditorium
at the Civic Center
Monday I start my school day by going to revival group.
Every student is placed in a revival group with roughly 65 others and a revival
group pastor. I am privileged to have the sweetest, Clare Murwill. She carries
such a grace about her to love those around her so well. She has opened up an
opportunity for us to be truly vulnerable in our group and in return she has
also taught how to be family to one another in those moments. I consider my
revival group apart of my family. I’ve learned how we are all created unique as
I’ve watched each person truly bring something so different to the family to
make it what it is.
Tuesday mornings my day begins by going to my Advanced
Ministry Training (AMT). I have taken Writers Eye, Prophetic Worship, and Faith
& Politics. I’ve seemed to pick things that are all on completely different
wave links, but one thing they do have in common is they all chase after the
heart of God in the specific area that it is relating to. I’ve been blown away
by revelations shared in these classes, testimonies told, and things witnessed.
I can attest that God is so good and so fun through these classes.
Wednesdays I have small group. My small group is me and 3
other ladies from my revival group. We come together on these mornings for a
few hours to celebrate one another, rest with one another, prophecy, drink
coffee, vent, and just try to do relationships well in this group. I treasure
each one of the girls I am with and I have come to adore them, not because they
are like me, but because they are worthy to be adored and God has invited me to
see that every time we meet. If there should ever be a moment where I am so
vulnerable to the point it hurts, here is where I should do it.
Thursdays is my city service day. I leave school at 3:15 to
head to my Sidewalk Sunday School site at a local neighborhood. What we do with
the kids looks different every week as we are sensitive to the Spirit and what
He is up to with these kids. I get to hang out with some amazing kids, love on
them, play tons of games, and I do it all with 5 other wonderful students who I
cherish. My city service leader is a second year, who is one of the very few
natives to Redding I’ve encountered at Bethel . She is an amazing
leader that has a heart that burns for the goodness of God to fall on our time
with these kids. I has a revelation recently of how truly blessed I am to have
the specific people I do in my team. I hit the jackpot.
Recently a sweet young lady gave her life to Christ during
our time in the park! And her cousin was healed of color blindness! It has been
an amazing year this far!
I’ve learned quite a few things being at Bethel this long,
but something I’ll never let go of is how to have fun with God. He’s not
boring, He’s everything exciting about life.
