Schedule, IHOPU, and Life!

Hey Everyone!

So, the past month or so has been so hectic and busy!  I guess that's good, because I didn't come here to lay around and do nothing all day.

In the past month (since I posted my last blog), I have done the following:
-- found a place to live (about 4 minutes from the Prayer Room and 7-10 minutes from IHOPU)
-- moved into said place
-- started school
-- work A LOT

It seems like that is not very much, but the process of starting school and moving into my new place has been more than enough to keep me busy.

So, for those of you who are interested in IHOPU or what I'm actually studying, here's a list of the classes I am taking and a description (brief because I have to run to Worship Team soon):

Forerunner Music Academy -- 1st year, 2nd semester student
Primary Intstrument: Voice

Classes:
-- Prophetic Singing 2 (2x/week):
         Voice class that combines technical training for voice with meditation and memorization of the Word, as well as prophetic singing (singing in the Spirit, and spontaneous, and outside writting).  Required practice time outside of class: 5 hours per week (not including homework)
-- KeysETT 1 (Ear Training, Music Theory, Technical Training, 3x/week):
         basic keyboard/piano class, but includes worship time, etc.  Required practice time: 3 hours per week (not including book homework, etc)
-- Harp & Bowl Lab (Worship Team):
       This counts as my Prayer Room hours.  I am currently on a Worship Team, and we lead Intercession or Worship With the Word (WWW) sets just like the ones you see in the Prayer Room.  Included is training on the Harp & Bowl Model (a style of worship), outlines for Apostolic Prayers and Psalm 8, recording choruses (on paper) sung by worship team, BPM for said choruses, Chord Progressons, Cross References for specific scriptures, etc.  I am currently singing on the worship team.
--Beholding His Majesty (with Pablo Perez, the Director of FMA)
      Teaching on the attributes of God and knowing who God is, contemplative prayer, reading Attributes of God by AW Tozer.  Papers and reports included.
-- Life of David (Matt Candler)
      Teaching on the Life of David, and becoming a person after God's own heart.  Required Text: After God's Own Heart by Mike Bickle, the Bible.
-- FMA Practicum
       FMA gets together once a week to worship and learn together.  Last week, one of our instructors taught on the word Ahava and the meaning.  We actually learned a lot of Hebrew (I already knew it), and it was very spot-on.
-- IHOPU Chapel/D-Group
     Twice a month IHOPU meets altogether as a school and worships and learns together.  Twice a month we meet in separate small groups, or Discipleship Groups (D-Group) to have accountability and peers that we can run with in a more intimate setting.
-- EGS: Encounter God Service -- Jesus, Our Magnificent Obsession (with Mike Bickle)
       This is a required class for first and second year students, taught by Mike Bickle.
-- FCF: Forerunner Christian Fellowship
       This is basically church for IHOPU students.
--Prayer Room hours:
      While my Harp & Bowl Lab and services count as prayer room hours, I am required to choose 2 4-hour blocks of time outside of this to be in the Prayer Room.

I will also be taking Ballet, Jazz, and Hip Hop at Dramatic Truth Dance Academy near IHOP starting next week.

**This schedule doesn't include my work hours and my time at Or HaOlam Messianic Congregation.

So, as you can see I am very busy.  But the Lord is providing all the financial support I need, so I am super super blessed.  It's crazy how it all happened.  Please continue to pray for me mostly that I would be intentional about making time to study, sleep, and eat. Thanks!  I miss home a lot, but I am so happy at school.  This is exactly the kind of school I need and want and have been looking for.  I feel like I can actually learn something here and I will actually use it in the future.

Ok, more on all of this later.  Bless you all!  Love you!
