College update

College.

Cleaning.

Uniform.

Prayers.

Class.

Laughing.

This is some of the things that have stood out so far from our first few weeks. It's been an awesome experience, been loving every second of it.

We started last week with official classes on a two week intensive on Worship and preaching which is great, and on the same day we started being deployed out to Wittlesea to assist with the fire relief teams. A team would be sent out every afternoon and night which got as late as 4am some mornings, but as of this evening will be changed to a 5-11 'shift' so our classes will be effected as little as possible, so we don't fall asleep basically.

Still no wireless, hence the lack of blogging, but I thought I'd better quickly blog today to let the world know college is going really well and that I'm alive, very alive actually!! God is great!

If you're a Salvationist and have felt God call you to serve Him in this way, don't be a Jonah and run, but run towards Him, there's no better place to be.

We started our Corps placements yesterday also, I'm placed at Plenty Valley, what a start, a very vibrant attendance and a great atmosphere, a place where God is doing great things and has great plans for, I'm excited to be a part of it.

I better stop it there, got much reading to do and an essay to work on, and no real time to do it presently. I have an hour till a rushed tea before I head out to Wittlesea at 5, so if I improve my time management skills I may place a dint the work.

Bless you all - please feel free to leave a comment to let me know you're out there, it can be a very insular place here at the college
