Live a Life that Provokes questions!!

So this was my last week of Foundational training as a whole, we have one more week now were we train with just people in our HUB so my HUB is east Lancaster and theres about 20 of us there so we will be working all next week in 'life church'

So this week has been awesome again has been a crazy week with lots of getting up at 7 with 12 hours of teaching then bed at 1 so am very very tired and very warn out. There has been a lot of great teaching this week about all kinds of things that will help us in the schools we are going to be working in such as ... "use it or loose it" were we talked about using the talents you have been given by God to expand his Kingdom then about habits and not letting habits control you,  we then had 4 sessions on schools and how to work in schools and what to do and act and respond like in different situations, then mark Richy came in to speak to us for 4 hours about how to teach, then a 3 hours session on child protection and 3 and half hours on Islam and how to work with it. This isn't even half the sessions we have had there just the main ones.
       So i come to now why the title of my blog is. 'Live a Life that Provokes questions!!' this was a sentence that hit me in one of the sessions this week it was basically saying your life should be lived in a way which makes people ask questions 'why are you doing that?' 'why are you so peaceful/ happy/ fun' and questions which make people think about their life. We aim to be like Jesus in our lives, we aim to live a life that pleases God so if we aim to be more like Jesus, then our life should reflect this, and if our life reflects this then people will want to know what kind of drug you are on so they can have some, and you can just tell them its the Jesus drug.
        I've always been afraid to be different and always afraid of questions, but now i am aiming to get asked as many questions about my life as i can, cause surely people are wanting the life i want, then that means i am portraying a life worth living. Jesus was asked lots of questions and if we are aiming to be like him then we need to be too. When people look at me i want them to be seeing Jesus and God all around me, i want to be like in a cloud where they can see me, but they also can see this thing that surrounds me and is coming out of me. This message has hit me alot this week about needing to a live a life for God a life which is 'To Him, For Him and About him'

 so this week i met my host family, they are wonderful and go to a church called Mount Zion which i will be attending tomorrow, they came to my commissioning service today at the life church which was amazing to see/ they have blessed me so much with a whole upstairs to myself with a bathroom and toilet, and bedroom all for me which is a gift from God to say the least.

So prayer points for this week

- It takes me an hour to get to work from the house i live in on the bus, so just prayer that God my provide an easier route for me, or give me the strength and stamina to be able to get up early to get ready.
- i start my first 'real' week this week working a lot of the time in my team preparing for the week after when we start going into school and preaching Gods working, and trying to make Missionaries. So prayer for this week as i undertake these tasks

  1. I loved the line about living a question provoking life as well. Definitely something that should make us take a step back and examine how we are living. Really important I think. I think the biggest thing is that we want people to see that passion we have and desire to have that passion as well.
    I like your blog! Keep things coming! Hope you have a good day at your church tomorrow and a good first work week!
