God’s Plans, Not Mine
"Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands... Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the...
The Danger of Independence
I have an independent personality. I'm not saying that I'm rebellious or disobedient (though there have definitely been times those would describe me). I just like to do things myself. If I can do it well, then let me do it alone. If I think I know how it works, leave...
From a Cold to a Caring Heart
I didn't come to School of Discipleship for the missions aspect. I grew up in a church that was often talking about missions, but I never had a heart for it. Missions was not something I ever wanted to do or worry about. I came to School of Discipleship for my walk...
Pursue God for God
These past couple months in School of Discipleship have been wonderful, yet hard. God has been teaching me a lot about surrender. It’s revealing—I’ve been praying for the Lord to show me things in my heart and about my character that aren’t of Him. Now that He is...
What can a Thermostat Teach You?

The Blessing of Fellowship
We, Canadian students, had the awesome privilege to visit the US office for a week. It gave us an opportunity to serve the staff, volunteer in the office and part take in some fun events. I can see how with a negative mindset it could have been a dread. However, I...
God is King
I was recently reading the book of Ruth. I found this story very interesting especially since the backdrop it is given is the book of Judges. The final verse in the book of Judges states, “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in...
Who am I… Really?
I·den·ti·ty- the fact of being who or what a person or thing is And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins. But now in Christ Jesus you who were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:1 & 13 As the year in School of...
Before the Day Began
Time has gone by very fast this year. It seems the month just begins and then it is the end. Now, there are just over a few weeks till the graduation of my first year at School of Discipleship. Lately I've been pondering how fast time is going and struggling with what...
