Trials: lately I have been having a really hard time getting free from the enemy’s lies. We had to look into a mirror for 20 minutes and try to see how God sees us. Each mirror had a piece of paper with our name on it, we were told to rip off that piece of paper. When we did this, there was something written by our leaders.
Key Teachings: I learned a lot this past week, we were made to surrender a ton or stuff, but as we found out none of it was really necessary or helpful. One of the things that I learned was that god loves me and that I have authority over the enemy’s lies.
Key Verses: lately I have been opening the bible an reading what I open up to…I know it isn’t very sound, theologically, but it has been working well lately. God put 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5 on my heart, to help me remember that I have the authority and power to demolish Satan’s strongholds in my life, and in the life of others. Another verse that God has put n my heart is Psalm 104: 27-35 which talks about how God has everything in his hands, and takes care of everything, to sustain his creation. He has also put Nehemiah 9 on my heart. It talks about confessing our sins to God. He also put Psalm 96 on my heart. This is just truly awesome.
Key thoughts: I have been thinking a lot of how the enemy has been attacking me, so that I know how he will try to attack me later.
Key Songs: In Christ Alone
Key Prayer: For freedom from Satan’s lies…not just now, but forever.
Summary: I have struggled with a lot of stuff this past week, but God is truly amazing and has given me strength to stay up and pray for others while on the streets of Atlanta, he has also set my feet upon the right path and guided me along that path. I am very afraid that when I get home I will lose and or forget all that I have learned. I am afraid of falling back on my old patterns, which are comfortable. I am afraid that even though I pushed away my comfort zone, or box if you will, I am afraid of running back to it when the going gets tough. 
Awesome Garrett, but now you can remember (or we will remind you) that you have the power not to run back because we are new people and Christ is in us all.
