My First Week
My first week at Kanakuk's Link Year, a structured gap year program, was exciting, informative and eye-opening. With the first mystery monday, I learned that I will not like all the all the surprises, we went roller skating at the local roller rink. On Tuesday, we were fortunate enough to have Don For give his goals talk. I have heard this talk before but I was glad to hear it again. It reinforced that goals should be God-centered, measurable, only attainable with God's help, and something that I re learned, written down. On Wednesday Jay Holden, the marketing director of Kanakuk Kamps, came and talked to us about our strengths. The best part about the speech was how he explained how we should use our strengths to help us achieve what God has called us to do, definitely a point I want to improve on. Today we had the last speaker, Mr. Derrel Shemwell. Mr. Shemwell is what you would call a self-learned super Bible scholar. This was inspiring because he had no formal training but was very proficient in the scripture. This just showed me that if you have the passion and drive and some help from God, you can achieve great things. Throughout the week the speakers gave me food for thought that enabled me to grow. Now, I am more intentional and specific about my goals, more aware about when, where, and how to use my strengths and more inspired to achieve great things. To sum up this week I have learned to be ready to be challenged, blown away, and let God work in my life.
