Fruit of the spirit!!

This week has turned out to be a pretty crazy week, in a few different ways. Our week was rather short cause we only had lectures on Tuesday and Wednesday. We had all our lectures on Revelation, which was pretty awesome, our lecturer this week was by far my favourite. He had his view on things but he also allowed us and enabled us to figure out what we thought on it as well. He was a great person to listen to and he went up and I think at least talked to each of us students at least once. Thursday we had our day of prayer which was nice to be able to sit in quiet and pray and just reflect on everything. Our theme for prayer day was the fruit of the spirits, so to be able to reflect on where we are in comparsion to where we should be was a good way to just regroup and rethink. I found that I myself feel like being here the fruits (Love, joy, peace, Kindness, Gentleness, Goodness, Patienteness, and self control) of the spirit our growing inside of me. I am not perfect in them at all but I can feel a change in my attitude in some ways. I am growing slowly but I am growing which is what counts. We ended the day with doing an evening services which was lead by the Koreans, they do such a good job.
Yesterday was our seminar/ cleaning day, I was on cleaning duty for the day and so I had to collect all the dirty sheets and then put out the new clean sheets in everyones room. It was kinda gross in the way the this week the flu has been going around the school. It hit hard and fast, a 24 hour flu that really knocked you out. It is slowly leaving and everyone is starting to feel better. I myself never actually got sick but I have been very tired and exhausted and a tad stressed out which has increased the good old stomach pains once more. I also had to clean the conference hall one last time and so I was purely exhausted by the end of the day and so it was nice to just go to bed and sleep in for once. We did a roomies night yesterday and just hung out and ate food and talked till late evening.
I slept in today until 10 and had brunch and spent some time alone and reading my bible. It was the perfect day it was gorgeous out and sunny and not windy. I sat outside for a bit to just enjoy the fresh air and the beauty around me. I realized today that God is wanting me to live in the now, the today, not the future. I often find my self trying to plan for the future and wanting God to tell me what i am suppose to do with my life. I realized today though that God wants me here for a reason, his plan is for me here for me to enjoy my time learning and growing. So that one day I will be ready for his plan for me, until then he wants me to be happy and enjoy life and live it to the very fullest. I also realized how much he loves me, he provided a way for me to come here, he also has shown me how wonderful he is. I love being here and learning and growing. I love experiencing God in a whole new light.
This week has also been a week full of different stresses of sorts, i have finally started unpacking some of the baggage that I brought with me here and not the luggage baggage. That I unpacked long ago, emotional baggage, I am feeling very at peace with my baggage and having people to talk and discuss it with has helped a lot. This week I also realized the people I was suppose to be travelling with for christmas, that it wasnt going to work out at all. We weren't meant to travel together we just kept butting heads when in Scotland. So we have had to regroup and me and Brianna have had to figure out a new plan. We are still going to travel but we are thinking about going with Beth and Christy and spending Christmas in London with Beths family and then spend New Years in Paris and hopefully finish off in Amsterdam. The plans are still up in the air but thats what we are wanting to do and proabably end up meeting up with people in the last week. Also this week my friend Zach had a nice little lung problem which he went to the doctors and then got xrays but he is doing much better. Overall it was an eventful week other then there being lack of internet all week our internet has been absolutely horrible.
We had a  bonfire last night over by the pond here. Yesterday was a big day here in England just becuase of the fact that it is Guy Fox Day and so everyone around here has big bon fires and lights off fireworks and all that jazz.
