This last month I was beyond pushed academically while we studied the New Testament through the Inductive Bible Study method. I was determined to get the most out of learning and really driving in deeper into God's Word! God pushed me so hard and I was really able to see myself rise above what I thought I could do. However, the best part wasn't even about my own abilities but really about the depth God took me to. He showed me a lot of who He is through looking at the history of the Bible. That He is still the same today, able to do all the same miracles and wonders that He did back then. Challenging me to expect Him to do those things in my life and the lives around me today on a daily bases because He didn’t change, we did!

As we have been studying we were able to see exactly where Paul was in many of the book in the Bible! We were able to be at some of the places he was in a lot of the passages. Like in Acts 19 when he was in Ephesus at the Theatre preaching about all the idolatry that was going on, we were right there standing in the exact place that Paul and the disciples were. A lot of the stones are now missing and fallen down, however, it really brought home all the passages that we as Christians have read for years! It was such a personal thing to be able to see it in person, imagine all of it in my head, and then to try to capture it with my camera!
