blessed beginnings to a new chapter

Hi friends!  I am excited to use this blog as a way to update family and friends on what is going on in my new adventure in Branson, Missouri!  I am so extremely blessed to be at the kanakuk institute this year growing and learning God's word!

~ How I Got Here ~
I'd been thinking about attending the institute for a long time but wasn't sure if it was my plan or God's will until this spring.  I applied and was accepted to the institute in December but wasn't going to be able to attend unless I raised $9000 tuition. I was not sure how I was going to raise the money but decided to send out support letters.  I just had to pray, "ok, Lord, I will not put You in a box. I know You are big enough. If it is Your will for me to go to K-Institute, You will provide. Let your will be done." I sent support letters out in January and literally by the end of the semester the Lord provided everything I needed.  If that wasn't a clear answer, I don't know what is!  I am so excited to be here because I have no doubt that this is where the Lord wants me this year and I simply cannot wait to unfold all that He has planned for me!  

~ So far... ~
So far... I am absolutely LOVING it!  I am learning so much about living in community, authenticity, discovering the word of God, falling more in love with Him.  It is phenomenal.  We have class in the mornings from 8 to noon and every single day has been incredibly sanctifying. The speakers are wonderful.  Also... I love my classmates!  The people I've met are awesome and am so excited to spend the year getting to know them and growing with them. 

I have an internship with Harrison KLife and will have a small group of 7th grade girls which I am pumped about (I'm meeting them tonight - yay!!)

I have bible study with a group of sweet sweet girls from my institute class.

Every student has a campus job and mine is babysitting... uh PERFECT! I am so excited. 

God is good. (severe understatement).  


More updates to come. I cannot thank you enough for your prayers!  Have a delightful week!


joyfully His,
Mal
