Our attempt at resting for a few minutes 

This describes the last few days in a nutshell. We have been running at top speed since sunday evening and it is just now catching up to me! We have had lectures, meals, chores, outreaches and team meetings everyday and on top of everything we are leaving for outreach! So it is time to say goodbye to our fellow students for the next nine weeks. The goodbye saying is "see you in Amsterdam!" because that is where we are meeting up in February. It is so strange to me, I never thought I would be saying that to anyone! Thursday afternoon we left Zurich and got to Herrnhut at 3:00 friday morning. Then at 7 breakfast was served and at 8:20 we left to pick up our visa's. The rest of the day consisted of grocery shopping, unpacking/repacking, team meetings, meals and cleaning. The Italy/Greece girls are staying in the farmhouse with 13 other girls which is actually a relief, because the castle is too empty, the MOTA DTS already left for outreach so no one is there. The weather is freezing and yesterday it snowed! I'm pretty sure I was the only one excited. Most of my team leaves for outreach monday morning, half are already there. To rub it in their face, we took a picture showing how "relaxed" we are! haha It's funny because we forced ourself to relax just to take a picture.


I want to continue to share my notes form outreach with you guys! This week has really changed my life and perspective. Todd was the best speaker we had all lecture phase, and God really used him to "clear up the fog in our eyes." Stuff I have known for years just all of a sudden clicked in my head and so much of the christian walk makes more sense to me. I will never understand it, but the part God wants me to now has been revealed! Wednesday night we held another "know love" evening where Todd spoke and afterward he started healing people. Right in front of my eyes I watched this girl's leg grow, this guy's arm expand and then my own leg was prayed for and it grew! I asked them to not tell me which leg was being prayed for but as soon as they started praying I felt my right thigh stretch above my knee and I looked at my foot, and it was even to my left foot! For a quick second I freaked out because I thought it would be longer than my left, I said "stop!" Now, this is something I have never believed in. I didn't think it was possible for someone to be completely healed from a physical ailment. But having experienced it firsthand I am embarrassed for my lack of faith. My God is bigger than that!


So here are my notes from tuesday:
When you are a sinner, you are a professional-you sin without caring. But when you're saved by grace you are more than a sinner, you're a saint! If you call yourself a sinner you have the faith to sin because that's what sinners do. 1 Corinthians 3:17, you have liberty!   The gospel is about restoring who you were in the beginning.    Sword of truth- go to bed with it so your mind can rest and not worry.    Grace is the fuel that fills my engine.    The highest point of hell is beneath the lowest of us. Deny yourself.    Matthew 6:22-we can't see into people until we see ourself the way God does.    His light never stops shining and His fire never stops burning, this lives in me!    His Holy Spirit in me is enough to keep me running fast.    When I look in a mirror I am looking at the glory of God. I see the law fulfilled and Jesus staring back at me because He likes living in me!    "Justice-" justasifInevermessedup.    Romans 8.    Your past has the ability to separate you from God's love (that's why it is not mentioned in this chapter).    Redemption-when we say "I do," He says "You are." We enter into a real being with life and truthful meaning.    As soon as I step into sin, step out and thank God that's not who I am created to be.    If the Lord forgives and forgets why would He bring it up?    Satan tries to dethrone Christ in me since He can't get to heaven to do it himself.    THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS ENOUGH.    Jeremiah 24.    Your heart can take you places your brain can't.    The bible isn't meant for your mind but your heart.    Jesus not only died for you, He died AS YOU.


The most important lesson I have learned this week is my identity in Christ. The key to a relationship with Christ is finding our identity. Then it becomes so intimate and the way God wants it! I strongly encourage you guys-every time you look in a mirror tell yourself "I am a daughter/son of Christ, a princess/prince in God's kingdom and He loves me for me." You can even picture yourself in the most beautiful dress (guys, I don't know what you would picture yourself in :P) because that is how God sees you. BEAUTIFUL!
