Schedule

So I thought some of you might be interested to know what exactly I do all day here! Our daily schedule is basically the same each day, with some slight variations:
  • The day starts at 7:30am with breakfast. Next week, I'll have breakfast duty, which means I'll have to be there around 7:15 to set up, and stay afterwards to clean.
  • 7:45-8:45 we have quiet times... time alone with God, devotions, whatever you care to call it.
  • 8:45-9:45 we usually have some type of worship or intercession (praying together as a group for something besides ourselves). On Mondays, we have worship with the IBC. On Tuesdays, we have worship and intercession only with our school. Wednesdays, we have what we call "Tarry Times." Basically, we spend that time in groups seeking God for what He would have us pray for, and then praying for it. It's time to practice hearing God, and one of my favorite times of the week. It's lots of fun! Thursdays, we have worship and intercession with the IBC, and Fridays, we don't have worship at all, but go straight into teaching.
  • 10:00-12:00 we have teaching. Usually we have one speaker teaching on one topic for a whole week.
  • 12:00-12:30--Lunch Break!
  • 12:30-2:00 teaching continues. Except on Fridays, since we start class earlier, we are usually done by lunch time. The rest of the afternoon is usually free.
  • Mondays and Wednesdays, Gunna & I go running after class, usually for about a half hour.
  • On Thursdays, we have "One-on-Ones" at 2:15, where we meet with a staff member (the same staff each time). It's a good time to discuss any struggles we're having, to talk about our journals (which they evaluate), and just to build relationship with someone who has done this school before.
  • 4:00 is dinner! This week I'm on dinner duty again, so I go early (3:45) to help set up, then I usually end up cleaning until around 5:30.
  • At 6:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays it's Jofrid-cise!!
  • The scheduled events of the day are rounded out with supper at 8:00, which is essentially the same as breakfast. If I have supper duty, I set up early, and then clean up until around 9:00.
So that's my week in a nutshell! Free time is spent writing emails, reading, working on my journal, having fun with Gunna, playing games with other students, playing outside, etc. Sorry this is the second post I've put up without any corresponding pictures!! I'll try to remedy that next time :-). Have a great week!
