Teaching Selfie

Whoa an early post, how can this be? Well this was the last normal week here at Timberline. I am going to miss this place and these people so much. I am so very blessed and happy that I was able to do this year. Our O.S.E.F. on Monday was a series of challenges much like what we had beginning of the school year with team building games and what not. It was fun to see us as a group that knows each other very well, doing things we did when we didn't know each other very well.

It was also the final round of faith stories (Testimonies) this week. I shared mine and all about what the Lord has brought me through this year and the Sin he has taken out of my life. My friend sketches each of the stories as she listens, this is the sketch she made for me.

For our last workday it was all hands on deck to help get the property cleaned up and back to the way we found it at the beginning of the year.

Our guest speakers this week were US each and every student prepared a teaching and taught the class. It was enjoyable to see the growth and understanding that was shown and presented this past week through the students. So for my post this week I will be linking my teaching for you guys to watch I hope you enjoy it! O yes, I got a 91 for my grade on my assignment! I was pleased to say the least and impressed I did so well. I'm sorry but I will have the video up Tuesday. Due to the fact of a slow upload time and it will not be up by the time we leave in the morning. Here is the link it may automatically go up if technology cooperates.   Check it out here!

We will be leaving for our last group trip early Sunday morning. We will be heading down to the sand dunes in southern Colorado for 3 days. It is bittersweet to know that we get to be together one more time but that it is our last time makes it hard.

The teachings this past week are a reflection of what we all have learned and grown through this year. I hope that what we have learned as a class we continue to grow in and use throughout our lives and never let go of it! As next week will be my last post for my year at Timberline I hope to grow continually in what I have learned and be able to use it.

So I hope this will remain our cry and prayer as students from this year that we don't lose the faith but finish the race strong!

My heart is restless as I wander through this jungle
The trees above refuse to let the sunlight through
And somewhere deep inside I hear the whispered longings
That tell me I was made for more than this

A blinding flash of light falls down into the darkness
Slowly I notice strange new markings on the trail
The crimson drops are calling out to me come and follow
"I am the God who made you, let Me show you how to live"
And I cry...

I want to be a God follower
I want to go wherever He leads
I want to be a God follower
I want to walk the trail He's marked for me
And be a God follower
(More than anything)

A now I journey on with the purpose and and with passion
Just like a dead man who's been given breath again
And though this path can still grow dark with tears and sorrow
I know He will never leave me
So with everything I am I will say...

I want to be a God follower
I want to go wherever He leads
I want to be a God follower
I want to walk the trail He's marked for me

And when I reach God's place I will look into His face
And then I'll look for you
Will I find you there?
Can you say with me...
I want to be a God follower
I want to be a God follower
I want to be a God follower
I want to be a God follower

Till Next Time
Love Jared
