It's a new thing.

          For about a month now, I have been starting my second year as a Graduate Intern in the Honor Academy.  The program I am committed to is the Core Advisor [CA] program.  In this program you dedicate to a life of service. 
Over this next year I will be over a young group of ladies, eight to be exact. And they all are very lovely girls.  During the first week of the internship, I had eight temporary girls for gauntlet week.  This is the week where they're getting a feel for things and figuring out what the Honor Academy life will begin to look like.  I had Sarah Tapp, Amber Leyba, Christiean Gutierrez, Ashely Favichia, Lindsey [Tika] Storm, Daniela Echeverry, Rebecca Sparks & Sherry Leung.

They all are very sweet girls and each encountered the Lord in such a great and mighty way.  Well at the end of the week and after the commitment banquet, the official cores were announced.  I ended up losing Rebecca & Daniela and gained two lovely girls, Sarah & Nicole [Coco]. Each one of my girls are so wonderful and are here to pursue Christ with their everything. I'm looking forward to having many memories and experiences with each of these ladies. 

There are also a two other people that will be very involved in my life this year and that is my sister core advisor and my brother core advisor.

Quincie Lavire: She is my sister core advisor.  Quincie and I were team captains when we called for the Lansing Acquire the Fire together during my undergrad year, so we have a good friendship already. Quincie is from Michigan and I'm really looking forward to our year together. 

Dominic Zimmerman: Dominic is a really fun and awesome man of God.  We really didn't know each other very well during my undergrad year, but I would see him every know and then.  Dominic is from Colorado and I'm really looking forward to co-leading with him this year. 

PEARL

So since I am starting another year here at Teen Mania, I will be participating in the PEARL Life Transforming Event.  Last year and years before it has been known as ESOAL, but because of changes that have happened over these past 12 years, it is now called PEARL. PEARL stands for Physical, Emotional, and Relational Learning.  I have many different emotions about this coming up week, but I know the Lord is going to be with me. 

If you want to follow on how we're all doing with the PEARL, you can follow Heath Stoner's blog. He should be updating it everyday starting on Thursday. The PEARL will be ending around Sunday morning or early afternoon. I will never find out, (:

Well that should be it for now, I will definitely be updating soon with everything! 

I love you all,

blessings.
