Holy crap have I been blindsided! My life has taken a 360 from where I was 2 weeks ago! Just to let everyone know I am at Masters Commission Los Angeles and it just started last friday. The devil did everything he could to keep me from coming. Now that I am here I'll try to keep everyone back home posted on what's going on with posts, videos, pictures, and whatever else I can. My schedule usually go's like this... breakfast 6:30-7:30 Monday's are off. Tuesday-friday we always have 1 hour of prayer, 30 minutes of worship, and a 20 minute devotional. Every Tuesday right after prayer we have to take our scripture test which I'll explain in a minute. Then we go to lunch 11:30-12:30. After lunch we have guest speakers Pastor Matthew, Brad, Kelly, and other pastors and people that have a big influence in the world. Tomorrow we will start our tracks which are the ministries we're going to be involved in. Media, Dance, Worship, Creative writing, spoken word, and a few more. We have small groups that will meet on thursdays for 2 hours. Thursday night, Saturday night, and Sunday morning we ride the buses, do offering, parking lot security, usher, and anything else they need us to do. Saturday we have prayer for adopt-a-block from 9:30 till 10:30 then we go out to our sites until 2. We come home and watch all the kids in the cafe, gym, patio, and everywhere else they are. Then sunday we're basically off for now besides church in the morning. Soon we will be traveling to other churches putting on services. The scripture memorization. We will memorize 200 scriptures while we are here. Thats 7 a week. We choose a topic like Fear. Then we will have 7 scriptures that have to do with the topic fear. We have to have 2 reference scriptures for each, a definition of the topic and a adjective with a definition. Who, When, why, and where it was written. 7 lines on how it applies to your life. And the with all 7 each week we have to write out a 1 page devotional with our next weeks scriptures and topic so they can approve them. Discipline! They dont play any games here with the rules. If you get in trouble for anything you have to be in the "backstage room" at 5 a.m. until 8 a.m. the following day and the next Monday we have off your also in there from 6a.m. until 12 p.m. You face the wall in silence and write whatever scriptures they tell you to write for hours and hours. You will get it if you are late signing into anything, talk 1 on 1 with opposite sex, 2 on 2. or even 3 on 3. Dirty Rooms, bed not made, off your floor past 11p.m. Questioning authority is a big deal. hmm.. Thats most of whats going on in my life right now.. We have to work out 2 hours a week so I'm getting back into Parkour. I'll be coming home December 22nd until Jan 5th. I'll take a few videos of my floor and of my friends. Love you all!!! leave comments!
