A lot has been going on in my heart and my mind concerning the school of Bibical Studies (sbs) in Taiwan. During the 3 months in Kona I began to feel strongly that an SBS would be a really wonderful step so I began to pray about where I wanted to do my SBS. About 2 months into my DTS I felt a lot of peace and confirmation about going to Taiwan in March.
Some days I can barely stand to be away from home one day longer. I miss my family and my CT family SOOO incredibly much. I love where I am at but I miss everyone. It was getting to the point that a one week trip home, to see everyone, and then 9 months in Taiwan was feeling unbarable. I started to question my decision and began to pray about it again.
Not long after praying about it, I met a girl here in Russia who just finished the SBS in Taiwan. She has INCREDIBLE things to say about it. I was thinking, praying, and counting the cost and decided to go for it in spite of how much I miss home.
I am so excited about SBS for the following reasons:
1)I constantly have questions that I can't answer about the Bible
2) I am craving to understand the context for scripture as I'm reading
3) I desire a bigger picture for the whole Bible
4) I want to recieve the strong foundation that SBS offers in how to study the Bible for yourself, so that I can apply this for the rest of my life.
5) When I teach the Bible I don't ever want to misinterpret or mis-use scripture
The list goes on and on and on... I asked for confirmation and I am overjoyed that it is given to me daily.
SBS Taiwan...here I come!
