A day in the life



Breakfast is served! (More importantly, coffee is served :) )
In the beginning of the semester, I got up almost every day for breakfast. However, as the weeks went by, and after getting a French press to make my morning coffee, my pillow began to sound more and more enticing, and breakfast less and less appealing.
Devotions
After breakfast, all of the students got together for morning devotions. This time included worship, sharing of the Word, and prayer. The “devotion” was shared by students, interns, staff members, and visiting pastors.
…
What happened after devotions depended on the student and the day. For myself, I had morning classes three times a week. I took Romans class with Jeremy Foster, “MTP” class with Pam Markey, and Biblical Missions with Pam Markey.
Lunch time!
After lunch time…haha
The afternoon, much like the morning, was spent differently depending on the day and the student. I had one afternoon class; Evangelism and Discipleship with Brenton Powers.
M199
M199 is practical serving that every student takes part in. At the beginning of the semester, we are all assigned to a different “serving area.” For example, one may serve in housekeeping, laundry, coffee shop, library, dining room…among others. Myself and three other girls were the “laundry girls.” I was blessed by the times that the four of us got to serve together. Though not always easy, we did have some fun times together.
Dinner
Evening
Evenings were also different throughout the week. We had home fellowship one evening, girls and guys Bible studies, class, Koinonia, worship, and time for homework or hanging out. Hanging out is a large and important part of CCBCE, but I will go into that more in another post.
SLEEP :)

There is a glimpse into a day in the life of a CCBCE student. This list is definitely not exhaustive, but throughout my following posts, you will find out more and more about life at the school.



  This is the team from the school that came to L'viv last fall. God's handiwork is so beautiful! I ended up serving under one of these girls and having another one of them as my "dorm room mama."



My companion and friend, mr. french coffee press. (I think I need to come up with a better name for him, haha).
