3 days down, How many now to go??

The first 3 days of College have been brilliant! Sure it's only been orientation, but I have already learnt so much. I've learnt that getting up for house duties @ 7:30am isn't so bad, infact it is actually quiet fun! I've learnt that it takes ages to get hot water on the 6th floor, but I'm thankful that I can actually have a shower with clean, cold water - it is a luxuary for many. I've learn't that regardless how tired I may be, I'm still incredibly energetic and extraverted - Can you believe it's me? I've learnt that God is so much bigger than anything I could ever imagine, actually I didn't JUST learn that, I've known it for quiet some time. I've learnt that Orientation comes in many different shapes and forms and you can have orientation for almost anything - I've actually got a few suggestions for nexts years Orientation...
Orientation to the Orientation course.
Orientation to local shopping
Orientation to the building
Orientation to big day out noise
Orientation to local restaurants
Orientation to taking FREE books from the College
Orientation on picking up your meals AND ordering them
Orientation to 'getting to know you' nights

And well, thats just to name a few. It's all good. I'm absolutely LOVING God and what He is saying to me. Our session is GREAT, They ALL love Jesus! And they are passionate about doing what He wants for their lives and the life of His Army. Can you Please pray for all the Cadets of the Witnesses for Christ session - May we continue to be full on for Him, to be totally, wholly and fully sold out to doing His will. In HIS name we will remain faithful to Him! He saved us and has bought us to this place to grow in Him and to serve Him. God is alive in this place and we worship Him for all He is, all He has done and we're expectant about all the good things that He is GOING to do. I believe it in His name! HALLELUJAH!!! Blessings and grace always, Cadet Aaron Stobie (hehe)

cadet stobie!

God Bless your session! May you all be AWESSOME witnesses for Christ!

Dont only be a sign post pointing to Christ, be a fork in the middle of the road that when people come to you they will need to make a decision. Follow Christ or not. Lead people into the path of the straight and narrow!

God bless you and all your session mates all over the world! mAY YOU ALL BE amazing EVANGELISTS!
