My Honor Academy Experience...

It's all over .... :(

2008-05-25T21:22:00.002-05:00

wow...
Hard to believe this, but I am no longer at the Honor Academy due to medical leave a couple weeks ago, where I got flown home for what I thought was going to be a 3 day visit which turned into a report that I cannot go back.
What are my thoughts? What are my feelings?
Bittersweet.
It does not seem real that I won't be going back... after all, almost EVERYTHING is still down there because I did not know this visit was permanent.
I am home in Minnesota.... I have no regrets, but I miss so very much the friendships that got built down there...
I grew so much... I feel way more knowledgeable of God's Word, and I have an intense passion to witness to people and get more saved for God's Kingdom. I am more hungry for God, my relationship with Him is more real than it has ever been, and I know I am not going to let the devil discourage me.
The way my brother jake put it to me, and the way I see it now is that I can claim double for my trouble! AMEN, that's right. The devil attacked me in an area that I am very passionate about, and I am not going to let him win. I am healed in the name of Jesus, and God is going to continue His work in me despite where I am at.
Sometimes I reflect back about my last 5 months and am amazed at how much God worked and just think to myself how grateful I am that I had this oppotunity in my life to be stretched even more and just grow in God's presence unhindered.

I do not take it lightly everything that i had been blessed with, and instead am going to bring the passion for the Lord with me to Minnesota! :)

I'm out....
whether to continue this blog, I am not sure yet...

Portland and Tacoma Baby!

2008-05-02T09:42:00.006-05:00

us at the train station to go up to Washington together

Train stop in Seattle...only about 1 hour more on the train
running to catch the ferry right after the train ride in WA
us on the windy ferry :)

the tip of the ferry

this is us stopping at a truck stop for dinner :) praise the Lord, a little shop across the street had a market and I picked up some pea pods ;) and other vegetables for the trip. About 10 hours into the trip, 40ish more to go!

this is interns trying to get some exercise in before getting back on the bus :)

this was a pretty view in Utah of the mountains :)

this was where our Portland event was held .... downtown Portland. wow, I did not know Oregon was such a pretty state, but let me tell you it is :)

this is Lindsay Meggers :) she is a really nice girl and also my roomate back at the HA and we got to stay in Portland together with her sister while the rest of the group went up to Washington by bus. We then took a train and a ferry to get to Washington. fun experiences....

Soooo...

obviously I have not updated this for about a month now, but I plan to not let that happen again.

So many things have been going on...

for instance the last week and a half I have been traveling on the road by a bus to go to the Acquire the Fire events I called for. Last week we had an event in Portland, and this week we have one in Tacoma WA. Yesterday we arrived in Tacoma and set up the Tacoma Dome all day for it to be ready for tonight's big event!!! So exciting to see all that God is going to do :)

I got the priveledge of staying in Portland for a little while and stayed with my friend Lindsay's sister... here are a few pictures from the trip as a whole :)

alright... so also during this one month gap, i ran a 10K marathon in Tyler Texas, got back from Arkansas, had an Unreached People Group LTE and a fasting LTE where we could not talk or eat or use any form of communication for 4 days! :)

I am leaving for the Tacoma dome within the next half hour and hopefully can update some tonight!! :) Today is going to be a great day! :)

Ridin' Wit My Top Down

2008-03-28T06:57:00.002-05:00

So, while I was chillin' in ARkansas, Nicole and Jeff decided to make us Tomato Basil soup and Grilled Cheese sandwiches (yum-o!).

Since they needed a few things at the store, we were able to also kick out a music video on the same trip.

Good times! Liz, this one goes out to you...

I'm in Arkansas - I'm a Hooligan

2008-03-22T00:19:00.004-05:00

So I'm in Arkansas and we did the 'Arkansan' thing:

Crammed myself plus four innocent children into the backseat of the car. And played hopscotch while singing Whistling Dixie at the same time.

My Missions Trip this summer

2008-02-27T16:48:00.003-06:00

K this is going to be another one of those long posts... lol so much goes on, but I cannot seem to update it everyday. If you are interested in where God has called me to go this summer, read on...

I have always felt like I was one to stay in the states and be the person sending people on missions trips. God confirmed this with me about 2 weeks ago on a Wednesday night service down here during and after the message on doing our role in being a Christian. Everyone has a part to play, -- there are "senders", "goers", "intercessors", "mobilizers", and "greeters". David Hasz went into detail of each of the details and how we are all called to one of these and we need to ask God what are part is to play in the great commission... I know I am called to be a sender and I know I will be going too... but man things are unfolding in my heart that I never knew was there.

Before this service I kept thinking this summer I would be going to a really cool place far away like Australia or New Zealand since I would only get an opportunity like this one time in my life. As I kept trying to pursue one of these countries I just did not feel peace with them.

I was praying for direction and kept feeling like New York was the place God wanted me to go. I kept thinking to myself, no way I am not going to stay in the U.S. where the gospel is preached so freely... but man oh man that thinking is a bit selfish. After much thought, contemplation, and praying I went to go fill out my application (they were due really soon for this summer) and God then showed me to do both New York and Jamaica this summer since they were both 2 week long trips and we are allowed 4 weeks for Mission Trips here in the summer. This is not a very common thing to do here, but I felt total peace with it. The total cost of these 2 trips cost just under the price of going to Australia and New Zealand too! (about $3,800) Man, after I submitted my application for these trips I felt so much peace and excitement but was not sure they would both get approved because of space and the uncommoness of it all. I just figured God would work it out and I did not think about it again.

Until...
Yesterday we had an awesome chapel speaker that was really hardcore and made us all feel like selfish naive Americans (which in essence, we are sadly), but this guy devotes his entire life ministering from the ghettos of America to the garbage dumps of Manila to the sexual slave trade in Thailand. He lives in the ghetto of New York and has been beaten, stabbed and shot in the face. He has tasted death and experienced it and he really opened my eyes just to how sheltered I am, and how so many people need love and get looked past. It was during this chapel God spoke to me about New York again and I knew I was supposed to go to New York. I need to share God's love with the hopeless children in Brooklyn’s projects. I need to love the children and teens that call abandoned buildings their home, face a future of drugs, addictions, prison, abandonment, and even death. I will be joining the guy that spoke in chapel and live where he currently lives... everyday. Wow.

Today, I got the email that I am accepted to both of these trips!!! Man, God is good... He confirmed it so many times and now I am going to go, and I know He is going to provide!!! Ahhh I never thought I could be this excited for a missions trip!

6 girls + 1 mouse = this.

2008-02-26T10:35:00.002-06:00

6 So out of all 6 of us girls, we only have one brave girl that is willing to risk standing on the floor while a mouse runs around and hides in our room. All of us other girls were standing on our bunk beds or ladders.... Oh and for the record, we still have not found this bad boy. Ishy. P.S. You may not want to have the volume all the way up...

Praise God!!!

2008-02-25T20:52:00.002-06:00

Woo hoo! Praise God... I have a fun story about God being so good...

The other day I was at work down here doing my normal youth pastor calling when I dialed this number to a girl that had no affiliation with Acquire the Fire, being a youth pastor, or anything like that. She was just a regular 19 year old girl, and after I called and did my 15 sec. intro she sounded angry and hung up on me (this is normal in the calling world, so I just brushed it off and went on to the next number) or so I thought.... I thought I dialed a new number, but whaddya know? 2 seconds into saying my intro to the next call I realized in my head that it was the same girl and I did not get to dial a new number... I quickly apologized and asked if this was the same girl from just a few seconds ago... she said it was, and I quickly was like "wait! don't hang up!" and I started talking about God and just how I felt like this was a God ordained call... she really started to open up and God totally used me to pour into her life! I found out that she was 19, is about 3 months pregnant, and the guy left her, she felt like giving up on life and was also a lesbian. God totally gave me the words to say to her and pray with her, and she was totally open to receive and totally changed around to a positive attitude. I got the chance to be able to give her 2 free tickets to the Detroit ATF event and she is going to bring a friend! (Talk about a turn around!) Man, God is sooo goood! By the time we ended the call, we exchanged emails, I prayed with her, blessed her w/ 2 tickets to a life changing youth conference, and her heart was open more to God. :) I can not tell you how it brightened up my day, but it did! That is what the Ministry placements we are in are all about... just reaching out to others and sharing God's love. It was just really cool to experience first hand this time. :)

My point? ya never know who you are going to talk to or who God places in your life. Always be ready, always be open, and always be willing. God will do the rest ;)

My favorite weekend here...

2008-02-15T23:59:00.002-06:00

So i just heard the quote here the other day that "if you dont like the weather in Texas, just wait a day... " Wow, that is the truth. Texas weather is bi polar... Meaning one day it is hot and sunny and the next it is freezing and raining and dropped like thirty degrees... Seriously. Well i am grateful cuz this last weekend was the best yet, cuz the quad (4 fun girls) went out to the mall in her mustang convertible and def enjoyed the sun with the top down. Talk about refreshing. Man, nothing beats sunshine, bumpin beats Ha, and friends all in the same setting:)

Lions, Scorpions, and Bears OH MY!!! a.k.a. the Mountain Climb...

2008-02-14T19:26:00.000-06:00

So two weekends (wow, time flies) ago, we drove 12 hours to go and climb the mountain range Big Bend, and in that range, I climbed all the way to the highest peak (Emery's peak) with other interns that were up for the climb. Let me recap the trip in a short version through some pictures :) First we drove 12ish hours to our camping spot in the middle of the desert and nowhere (seriously). Here is the view of where we stayed in tents:

This was from the bottom of the hill in the distance---->

The two pictures are from the bottom of the hill where we camped, one picture is from the top view of the hill, and the pile of scat/feces/#2 is also on top of the hill... I took a picture cuz these piles were everywhere up there and I kept wondering what kind of animal does these huge piles---I put my shoe next to it so you could see how big it is (and this was a medium sized pile) Lion? Goat? Elephant?--no. Bear? you tell me.

Mountain CLimb Pictures

2008-02-14T19:07:00.005-06:00

Here are more mountain pictures, cuz I could not figure out how to post alot of pictures in an orderly manner and describe them each. So Here is a summary of them all, and you can just kinda guess what is happening. All I can say is the views were INCREDIBLE and camera's can never capture the real prettiness :) Just to give you an idea tho...

Our Core Advisor was not able to come with us on this trip, so for most of the mountain it was just us 5 girls hiking alone. There was one time in the early morning that we heard a huge animal in the tall grass around us (we thought it was a mountain lion cuz we just saw 2 signs for them) but luckily it was just some deer, but they were about 4 feet away! scary, cuz it was pitch black at around 5:30a.m.

We hiked a total of about 17 miles that day, but it was on rocky terrain... we were exhausted by the end...

Praise God, God gave us girls the perseverance to keep going and going and going... seriously. It felt never ending.

I am glad I did it, it was a cool experience... especially sleeping in the freezing desert at night knowing there were scorpions, and lions and bears ...

Fun at work

2008-02-06T13:56:00.001-06:00

Who says you cant have fun at work? Not me. Today while i was making all my calls to youth pastors in detroit, i decided to turn part of my lunch into a little friend:) his name is orange king, and I made him out of my post it notes and tape. What is the most coolest thing you have made at work? Lol

On my mind

2008-02-03T20:09:00.000-06:00

Today is my best friend and sister's birthday!!! She is the greatest, most giving, unselfish, considerate, thoughtful, creative girl I know! She has always been there for me and I know God blessed me with her for a reason. I look up to her so much and am excited to see how God is going to use her for His glory even more as she continues to seek for what He wants. Man, I wish I could be in MN for her today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIKKI!!!!

Also, I just was thinking this past week how precious my family is to me. Seriously I have not really comprehended how much they mean to me. My parents are the best parents that I know and they are so giving and sacrifice so much just for me and us kids. I am so grateful to have grown up in a larger family too... it has been my favorite part of growing up. I loved being the youngest and having 4 older brothers and a big sister. I love everyone so much and miss them a lot. I also have the awesome priveledge of calling all my in-laws my family too. I learn something new from each one of them and they are so loving to me. I love seeing our family seeking God, it is the most rewarding thing in the whole world. I would not trade that for anything money could ever buy. ... for real I can't explain my love for all my family. They are the best.

This Honor Academy experience has definitely been one that I wanted to give up on after the first week here, but I knew that that was not what God wanted for me. It is not that it is too physically draining, or emotionally draining, or healthyfood draining (although it is), it is more just because it has been a sacrifice for me in every area of my life including spiritually. The devil kept trying to tell me that I was wasting a year and to just go home and not commit, but I KNOW THAT I KNOW that that is not what God wants. I know that God wants me here. I know I am in His will right now and I know that this year is supposed to stretch me. I can already see how I have drastically grown in my thinking, in my walk with God, and just in other areas of my life. I have learned to really just put my trust in God. HE is the only way I am going to make it through here with excellence.

I also can see God moving in me through being the new ACA (despite it being my first semester here, and all the other ACA's are August interns). It is so cool to see how God placed me where I am for a reason. I know that I got placed in the room I am in because God wants me to pour into all of these girls' lives His love and other things as well. It is so wierd, because I can identify at least one thing in every girl that I used to struggle with that they currently are dealing with and may or may not even know it. I know God is stretching me through this experience as well, and I am humbled that he entrusted me to these girls' lives this year. Already I am seeing growth in our room, but I do know it is going to take perseverance and a press. Wow, I am really learning alot though. Basically, I do not even care if the girls think that I am too extreme, or too strict, or too anything, as long as they come out of this year knowing God more. That is truly all that matters. I want to see our whole room come to truly know who they are in God this year, and I know that in Jesus' name that is going to happen! Praise God!
Thank you God, I love you so much.

Lol i guess make that 5 times

2008-02-03T13:01:00.000-06:00

Actually this is now the 5th time having the bus break down and I guess they are sending another bus for us. So close but yet so far away... Make that a total of 18 hours on the bus w 44 unshowered and sweaty interns Ha Ha gross

Roadtrip adventures...

2008-02-03T10:51:00.001-06:00

Our 12 hour bus ride home from the mountain last night has turned into 15 hours so far... Lol our bus has broken down 3 times so far and now were back on the road and only 1 hour away:) Yay! What an exhausting trip, but worth it. I will explain more later. I now just cannot wait to get back to the Honor Academy to take a shower and sleep.

Acquire the Fire Houston

2008-01-27T14:11:00.000-06:00

This weekend I got the priveledge of going to the Acquire the Fire event in Houston! (It was my first one) and boy oh boy it was so awesome! God is so incredible, but that does not even describe the gist of it. It was about a 6 hour drive and we got home around 4:00a.m. this morning. :) Summary: great weekend.

Unfortunately I also did 3 blogs from my phone thinking that you guys could see what I typed, but unfortunately for some wierd reason it cuts off like half of the text hmmm... maybe jake will figure out why that is, cuz he is so smart.

This morning at church the message was on the power of our words... I think that is always a good reminder, because I think the society as a whole places a lot less stress on how they are truly so powerful. What you speak has either life or death in it...

This last week has been really crazy, but God kept giving me the strength to keep going. I became the ACA (Assistant Core Advisor) for my dorm room, which basically means I am the leader person of our room and I do stuff for our core advisor. With that job comes many more responsibilities than I anticipated or even knew about, but Praise the Lord, I know God is going to use me for His glory in it all and to speak lots of truths into the girls' lives.

My mom and sister have sent me a package here, and let me tell you... it is pretty much like winning the lottery to receive a package here. (basically a wonderful experience) Thanks Mom and Dad, and Nicole and Jeff! I have definitely been making and eating and using all the stuff in there!!!

Next post I will try to do real pictures. Tonight is the Hopeline where kids call in all over the U.S. on Dawson MacCallister's radio program about problems and struggles they are dealing with. I am pretty excited about that, but I gotta go do my homework and try to finish it before training at 6 tonight!!! They really really keep us busy here... actually more than ever this semester than ever before in Teen Mania's history I have heard. Cool dude. Lata

Check out this cool boy!

2008-01-22T21:38:00.001-06:00

Oh yea now thanks to my smarty pants awesome brother jake, i now can update this blog from my phone. How cool it that? Yea very cool. What can i say? He is a champi?n for Christ:) what can i say ? i guess it runs in the family...

From eating like a pauper to eating like a king... Well sort of

2008-01-22T21:05:00.001-06:00

So... After already feeling guilty enough about all the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, tonight i had an opportunity to have a belgian waffle at the local coffee house thing here. It was pretty good, although NOTHING can beat my moms or sisters and jeffs waffles. ... Nothing. But i just wanted a slight taste of home:) i love and miss everyone and home cooked food... Although i am regretfully enjoying the pb and j...

Peanut buttery uh ohs...

2008-01-22T20:37:00.001-06:00

So here at the HA, if you dont want to eat the main course, they have the option of peanut butter and jelly... That would not be so bad if i did not already get into the bad habit of eating them for dinner or a sweet dessert... Yea. Not good. So now i am averaging one a day and i dont know what to do. Here is a picture of my friends tasty goodness because i already ate mine. I think i need to stop lol

Hijacked and Proud of it

2008-01-22T14:30:00.000-06:00

For those of you that are oblivious to the cool picture below, I
hijacked Sarah's blog trying to prove a point.

But while I'm here, let me just say: Sarah, you are a very special
person. So special in fact that this is the only blog I've ever wanted
to hijack. Well, I wanted to hijack Obama's, but that's another story.

Later-

Proof

2008-01-22T14:10:00.000-06:00

Sarah, this is proof that I told you the correct info. It is legit, yo.

craziness...

2008-01-20T00:05:00.000-06:00

Life at the H.A. has gone by quick this week. (hopefully that pattern continues...) I am already looking forward to coming back home to MN, and also going to AK for peaches and veggies and gardening and family!
It has been pretty hectic here, but on the down times we have fun. Here are some more pictures. I am starting to get home sick:)
This was at the intern verses the staff football game...
This was a lunch that me and dani, nancy and liz made cuz caf food that day was not healthy. We made hummus on toast with tuna and stuff :)
Here I took this shot while being in the middle of the group of interns walking back to our dorms after a symposium day... the back view
the front view walking back to our dorms
This morning (saturday) I took my free time to make a nice juice blend of carrots, cucumbers, celery, apple, and an orange lol it tasted really good!

lovely day...

2008-01-10T17:14:00.000-06:00

Today was a lovely day and a much more eventful day than sitting in sessions and taking tests all day :) After corporate exercise this morning, Dani and I decided that we did not want the frozen french toast being served in the cafeteria, so we cut up some apples, banana's and grapefruit to make a mini fruit salad in our dorm room... we then decided we would make it fun and make a little table too haha it was pretty nice (and healthier too)

After that, we had worship, then got to do a fun ground ropes course! But before I left for the ropes course, Dani and I chopped up some veggie's for our split pea soup we were making in the crock pot for dinner tonight instead of the cafeteria food :) When we got back from the ropes and lunch, our room was pleasantly filled with great smells haha and people thought we were crazy.
My friend Nancy nicknamed me "Greens" for the Greens powdered drink I drink minimum of 3x's/day lol and now alot of people are asking me about health... it is pretty fun! I just got done with a session and headed over to the G.E. center to update this thing again, but this time with a few pictures! Dani is behind me just working away...:) And after here, we are heading back to our dorm for our tasty split pea soup lol and then going to service/session tonight!
It has been a fun day :)

The Secret Killer: Complacency

2008-01-09T17:08:00.000-06:00

Last night I heard my favorite teaching thus far. Ron Luce spoke on complacency in Christians today, and it was so convicting and also the annointing of God just completely fell on me to be more compelled to not allow complacency in my life even more. Jesus tells us to die daily, take up our cross and follow Him. Following God takes action and means to follow HIs teachings. If He is TRULY the Lord of our lives, then He would be our master. Lord= Master. (lol one time my brother nate talked about this to me too and it has just stuck with me). If God is our master, then we OBEY His word. No one who has ever changed the world has lived a life of complacency. We are not called to be in GOd's Army and live complacent lives. We are supposed to be different. Held to higher standards for sure. I have noticed that when one truly falls in love with Jesus, they fall out of love with the world and want no part of the world.
God is a HOLY God (I think this statement has become way too casual...) and the only way He can abide in us is if we do not grieve Him. Therefore, our minds and thoughts need to be like a sanctuary so He can dwell there. Basically our flesh needs to be put to death. Wow. It is not like I have never heard this before, it is just that in the process of just becoming more broken for God and wanting Him more than anything else, I am now seeing how I lived a complacent life. We are called to a standard and too often we sacrifice God's presence and annointing in our lives just for the temporary satisfaction and convenience of this world. It is really sad when we think about it. Are we really gonna let the devil win? How are we supposed to expect to see the world change if we can't even change ourselves? This life is not about us...Just some thoughts I have been thinking and that I cannot let go out of my head...
Anyways, THe H.A. is going very well, I am growing so much spiritually and it has definitely een a push to keep going on such little sleep and so much exercise, but God is continually giving me the strength to push myself 100% in it all. All I want to do is live for God with all of my heart.
I will try to add picts once orange block is over and I have time... so the 24th of January basically...

I would love to hear from ya! oh and I can text on the weekends now and after orange block, so we can keep in touch that way too! e-mail: sunhun07@yahoo.com cell: 763-744-6355

Here is a lil map of the H.A. and I tried to write as much as I could on it, but it is a little confusing (thanks to google maps and jake for keeping me up with the times;) haha

Too much to say... not enough time....

2008-01-07T20:32:00.000-06:00

Wow. SO much has happened since I have started at the H.A. (Honor Academy) and I only have 15 minutes allowed on here per day, lol now prob more like 13 haha anyways, I almost do not even know where to begin and it has only been like 3 days! I will admit, up until yesterday night I was still very skeptical about this whole thing and wondered why God wanted me here in the middle of nowhere:) lol well that all changed last night! God is BREAKING me. I am changing into an even more on fire for God young woman and am already growing alot spiritually. I am so thankful to God that I am here. He made the way. Wow, I have so much more to learn and grow though.

Now, as for how gauntlet is going ( the 1st 2 weeks here of intense training) it is going VERY well:)
We have had 2 mornings of corporate exercise so far (12 more to go) and are up by 4:40ish to be out at the field by 5:00a.m. We have run 1.2 miles each morning and it is very likely to increase to much more soon--maybe tomorrow:) Even though I do not enjoy running, God has been giving me the strength and since Ihave been relying on Him for the strength and energy it has been a breeze for me. Praise God! I can't wait to go harder.
So far, ever since last night I am finally starting to thrive here.... God is taking me to places I have never seen before and using me.
I know I am a leader, and this training has already brought out more good characteristics in me. God is soooo AWESOME! I am so thankful to be here. He is my source of strength, and I know I can do ANYTHING with Him!
I have 2.5 more min left so I might have to finish this tomorrow if I get a chance...

ORANGE BLOCK started this morning which means a more strict schedule to get out of our old habits... like no texting, no sugar, no ipods, lots of stuff like that, etc... no time to explain.
Thanks guys for all your love and support! God is doing incredible things here! Lots of love, peace.

Texas, Here I Come

2008-01-05T00:03:00.000-06:00

I told everyone I would keep in touch through blogging, so here it is!!! (Also I started cuz my big brother Jake is just so persuasive like that, and has the coolest blog known to man) check it out--- www.jacobandrew.blogspot.com

Lots of preparation, lots of packing (took a lot longer than I thought), and lots of excitement!
My dad, mom and I took a lovely road trip to get me to Texas. Mostly to see my Grandma in Iowa, and two brothers and their families in Arkansas, and partly just so I could bring down all of my luggage ;)

Here are a few photos from the road trip so far...

my mom, sister-in-law Evan and I on top of her and my brother nate's house just taking a chill moment...

Here you can barely see us up on the right in front of the window...

Two of my brothers fixing my nephews bicycle :)...

This is the 12 point buck my dad shot with his bow in Iowa on the way down...

Anyways, I am at my brother Jake's house tonight just blogging it up before I leave for Texas early tomorrow morning... 6 hour drive should be fun right? At least I can get alot accomplished :)

Saying goodbye to my sister for a year had to be one of the hardest things I have ever done... lots of tears cried, but I know God is going to do awesome things, and thank the Lord for cell phones right??? yeeea

Lots on my mind, lots of anticipation, lots to do before tomorrow's registration and gauntlet... I'll keep ya'll posted.
