here and back again

stream running through Pierrepont ground

Sorry for the delay in updating. It's been a combination of busyness, laziness, and being a bit overwhelmed with all that's been happening. We were told by the staff that term two of NETS is supposed to be more intensive and with fewer days off. True to their word, it has been much busier and "packed" than last term.

Classes, as usual, have been good and enlightening. In the three weeks since coming back here to Pierrepont, we have already be instructed in:

• Addictions and Eating Disorders
• Godly Sex and Sexuality
• Deeper Level Deliverance
• Anger
• Physical Healing
• Healing the Human Spirit
• Ministering into Marriage/Family/Children
• Singleness

Other news

As some of you know, I'm now serving on the worship team here. During term two, we are encouraged to "step up," so I've been helping out with SongPro (much better than PowerPoint), singing, and playing guitar/bass. It's been a while since I've served in worship, so it's been great to be a part of a team again.

My fellow NETS students and I have begun "practicing" all the stuff we've learned in class. Half of my classmates and I were co-counselors during a healing retreat last weekend (7/22-7/24). Overall, it went very well. God did some amazing things in one of my counselees. I was really blessed by the experience and look forward to the next time I can co-counsel (which would be in early Sept.).

For all of you who have been praying for my sleep, I want to let you know that it's been getting better. On the advice of a staff member, I anointed my door, window, and the wall over my bed with oil. Once in a while, I also bind down any spirit that would interrupt my sleep before I hit the sack.

That's it for now. Here is a sneak preview of the next blog:
