I have been crazy busy of late and under the weather in a really strange way. Things are incredible here and I am learning so much.
The days and the weeks are going by very very quickly it feels like only yesterday I blogged but looking at the date it appears to be two weeks ago. Apologies to anyone I have still yet to email back I will get around to it soon. I leave for school (sounds very strange) at half 7 in the morning and I have been getting home around 6pm so the days have been pretty long.
We have been going through church structures, bible review (have already read through Genesis this month) and I am being stretched and challenged which feels great. I also started guitar lessons with the sickest guitarist, I just want to cry at how good he is but already I have improved on the ol' six string wonder sound creator.
Every morning starts with around 45 mins of worship which has been really good and really hard (depending on the morning). This has been a real challenge as we are learning about Praise. When you think you know something and your viewpoints are both supported and challenged it is really encouraging. I love the fact we can sometimes say 'this is MY way of praising'.....uh uh uh. There is only one way of praising and that is God's way. It is amazing how directive the bible is on this fact. Praise is all about extoling HIM and bringing him thanks. Praise has to be heard. The times of the sitting down head in hands whispery whispery praise are over. Praise is one way! I would love to expand on this point further but it has been blowing my mind.
On a different note I went to see a band in chicago last week called Sleeping at Last, possibly one of the best shows I have been too. It was so intimate and laid back. The addition of the string quartet was phenomenal.
I have the house to myself at the moment as my host family are out and I am taking the time to watch spinal tap. No more needs to be said.
Well, I am trying to think of things to write that are of interest but my mind feels like mush at the moment. I need some breakfast and a cup of earl grey tea.
Yesssssssssss.

Living the dream there mate- I am loving the updates on what they are teaching you, its good to hear! So this guitarist bloke- is he crazy good? I'm picturing perhaps a Captain Planet type amalgamation of a variety of racial different guitarists? or perhaps a power rangers type megazord of a guitarist?
