What did I get myself into!!!!

God has sure taken me for a ride the past couple weeks! I went from staffing the DTS in Tijuana to finding out there wasn't one 5 days before it was supposed to start. So what next God? But God always has a plan and its always better than the one I have. Thank you Jesus! So after I found out that I was no longer staffing the DTS I felt God leading me to do the Biblical Core Course that was starting in Ensenada on September 27. So after a very short but intense process I ended up packing my bags and headed to Ensenada in time for the school to start.
There are nine of us students taking the school and we all think that it is a challenge! We are now in the third week of the school and it has been a huge blessing and encouragement to me. Last week we studied the book of Philemon. Philemon is only 25 verses but there is a surprising amount of timeless truths in it. We are learning how to study the Bible by inductive study method. Which is observing the text thoroughly and researching the historical background as well as the culture before making an interpretation of how the original hearer or reader would have taken the text. Then we make an interpretation for us today. There is a lot of work but I am really liking it so far.
The biggest truth that I got out of Philemon was trusting in God. Onesimus ran away which can be punishable by death. So when he returned to his master Philemon he was trusting God with his life.
This week is the study of Ephesians. I'm looking forward to what will be revealed to me this week. Thanks for reading, praying and your support! God Bless.
