Buzy Little Bee

I am currently on a train on my way home for the weekend. Wow the view is gorgeous! What a week it has been. It has absolutely flown by! I’m trying to remember everything that I have done over the last week. Aimee has had a friend staying at our house for the last week. Hannah is the best! I’m going to miss her when she leaves. This week we have finished going through our freedom manual. 3 days this week we had worship in the morning and I love it! We talked about injustices and how what people say to us and what we say to others really effect each other. One thing I loved that Adam said this week was when he was talking about the power of words and that we either curse(say something mean to) or bless(say something nice to) someone and that we need to understand our authority in what we say. We then had to write out ways in which we had been cursed by others, the ways we have cursed ourselves and they way we have cursed others. We learned that you are most destructive on yourself. One big thing we worked on this week was generational sin. We talked about how we can stop the destructive generational patterns and learned how to break through them. We looked at how generational patterns can go back 4 generations. Evan in the bible Abraham, who was one of the most godly, influential man in the bible, started patterns of lying, favouring children and breaking family relationships which were passed on to his children. His son Isaac then followed these same patterns which caused a lot of destruction within their family. And then he passed it on to his son Jacob and so on and so on. We began to identify bondages within our own families. Some afternoons we’ve gone out into the community and did some outreaches, such as praying over people. As for our evening we have been mostly spending a ton of time together. Monday we had our family dinner, so we all ate at one house. Tuesday I just hung out at my house and spent time alone for the first time. Wednesday we had a church prayer night, I watched the children who were under 3 years old with two other Catalyst students Lauren and Justin. The kids were so cute and we had a good time. After we all went out to this place for ice cream. Last night I played ultimate Frisbee for a bit then decided to come home and Skype mom for her birthday. Then out of nowhere about 20 people showed up at our place and we had a fire in the backyard. I already miss being down there and I haven’t even arrived back in Canada yet. Oh! The reason I am coming up this weekend is a wedding on Saturday, bridal shower Sunday, and my graduation on Tuesday. I really hope I make it back in time for classes on Wednesday.
