Walking in the Holy Spirit

I just hit send on month 4's assignments! Yes, at 10:20 pm the day they're due, the night before this month's lecture. Pray that in future months I may turn in my assignments a whole day ahead to give myself more breathing room.

Here is my month's response paper if you're so inclined:

I really enjoyed this month, especially after how challenging August was for me. I met with my mentor, Renee, for our first session too and she is so wise. I'm incredibly grateful for getting paired with her.

I recognize I have more work to do in my relationship with the Holy Spirit, but I can tell this month has opened my eyes, ears, and heart more. I look forward to growing closer and walking in step with the Spirit to also know and use my gifts in wonderful ways (with healthier boundaries...).

In my response paper I wrote my growth goal is to pray more. Pray for me to pray more. But not only do I want to pray more to the Holy Spirit specifically, but from my therapy sessions this month it's really evident I need to pray for the Spirit to perform a cataclysmic miracle, a seismic shift in my brain to see myself as God sees me. To meditate on bible verses of who God says I am and drill them into me, trust them more than I trust my very mean mind. I want to believe who I am in Christ and who God says I am, but my brain is so loud and so mean and we have a longer relationship together to break. So if you could pray for that miraculous shift, I'd be very grateful.

These are verses I'm meditating on / memorizing

Thanks for praying for me and supporting me. I can't believe I'm already 1/3 done with the program. I'm grateful for this month of September, the theme of the Holy Spirit, and everything I learned, am worked towards, and will take away from this month.

Love, Adrienne
