A year in retrospect

Last year at this time was the first time that my husband and I had ever heard of a place called The Honor Academy.   A friend of Ben's had mentioned it to him and he really wanted to go.  I googled it and immediately knew my son would be going away and my husband also had the peace of God that this was to be where Ben would go as well.  The rest of the year went by and we didn't think much about this Honor Academy. Ben went to the campus preview weekend and was blown away...loved everything about it but didnt know if he was meant to be there.  Then came July and into August and Ben was thinking more about going there but was still unsure.  Time continued to march on and Ben was still unsure but we were getting antsy for him to make his decision.   I continued to be antsy because I really like my ducks in a row and it was getting time to register for classes here if he wasn't going away.  Finally I just surrendered it and asked God to have his way as I was completely at the end of myself.....just wait til you hear what God did next.....

and he is off on his Godventure!!

Well, this is the day we had been dreaming of for years as we asked God to use him mightily....My son has always had a passion for drumming and when the opportunity of training to drum for the Acquire the Fire internship came up he jumped at the chance. He is attending the School of Worship where he will learn to be a part of a worship team.   So on August 17 he left for Texas to be an intern at the Honor Academy ...he is currently serving to recruit more interest for the Honor Academy while being discipled and maturing in the Lord.....I will be keeping you updated on What the Lord is doing in and through him and other young people while they serve at the Honor Academy...stay tuned!!!
