Bible College Notes Intro...

Soooooooo I am sooooo incredibley excited that Bible College has started back up again!!! When I hadn't heard anything about it I was SOOOOOO  disapointed!!! BECAUSE I LOOOOOOOVE BIBLE COLLEGE!!!

.

Seriousley people, I feel like us AZ folks are SOOOOO blessed to have this extra opportunity to learn from men of God!!! Me and Cara Bear hav had many conversations about how much we LOVE Bible college and are sooooooo THANKFUL for it!!!

I have been pushing AS many people as I possibley can to go, go, GO!!! I even got my mom and sister to go this semester!!! I was like, COME ON...You  guys need to go!!! Its uplifting!!! My mom was like, Oh buuuuuut I'M OLD!!! I was like MOM...THATS OK!!! Old people CAN STILL go to Bible College!!! LOLOLOL!!!! Fo realz tho...how can we EVERRRR be to old to learn MORE about GOD??? We can't!!!

.

Sooooo i know that i'm probabley one of the LONGEST going Bible college students EVERRRR...buuuuut...I don't think I'll everrrr stop!!! (Unless I get married and move to Africa!!!;) I asked someone one time if they were going, and they were like, NO Mary...I actually you know, HAVE A LIFE!!!! (OUCH!) I was like, OH okaaaaay!!!

.

 Sooooo ya know, its ONE thing for people to say that I, Mary Frances Ginty, don't have a life...like whateverrrr...FEEL FREE to say that you have more of a life than me!!! Buuuuuuuut...You can NOT tell me that you are busier and that you have MORE OF A LIFE than these men of God, that take time out of THEIR busy schedules to teach us!!! I mean just look at Elder Fair!!! Last spring he was IN THE HOSPITAL, practically on his death bed...BUUUUUUUT as soon as he was out of that hospital, he was at the Bible College TEACHING!!! Its like WOW!!! To think that he would STILL, after all that,take the time to come teach us...How can we NOT take the opportunity that is put before us???

.

AnywayZ, with THAT being said I am taking two classes this semester!!! First hour is Weightier Matters Of The Law; Taught by Bro. Myers!!! It is soooooooooooo INTERESTING thus far!!! I think its sorta like Spiritual Ethics...except Bro. Myers said he didn't want to use that word...haha!!!! When we were signing up my mom and I were asking WHAT the class was about ANNNNND then at the same time we were like, OH is it about WEIGHT LOSS??? Bahahaha!!!! That must have gotten relayed back to Bro. Myers cuz, he clarified RIGHT away that his class was NOT about weight loss!!!! THen he proceeded to tell us EVERYTHING he had eaten that day!!! I was like Niiiiiiice!!! LOLOLOL!!!

.

Next is Bro. Garrett's class!!! What every Apostolic MUST know!!! Omw people...it was soooooo GOOOOOD!!! Sooooo I like ALMOST switched classes so that I was in Bro. Garrett's class FIRST and Bro. Myers second...soooo that I could be with MY GIRLS!!!!

Miriam and Megan!!!

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut then I was like, NOOOOO cuz what if there isn't enough people in Bro. Myers second session and he doesn't teach it then??? AND I really wanted to take that class....plus I told the girls, THEN I would be taking that class for THE WRONG reason...to be with MY FRIENDS...I gotta take the class for THE RIGHT REASON and then PLUS...We're IN CLASS...WITH BRO. GARRETT as our teacher...like DUH...its NOT like we would even be talking or socializin together in class ANYWAYZ!!!

.

So yeah it was really funny the first Monday...cuz I KNEW Megan was right next door to my first hour class sooooo I was being a brat and sent her a text that said IS YOUR PHONE OFF??? Cuz Bro. Myers class hadn't started yet!!! No RESPONSE from Megan!!! LOL Sooooooo THEN when I'm in Bro. Garrett's class, SITTING in the FRONT AND CENTER OF COURSE...I get a text back from her that says, NO IT WASN'T!!! Is yours??? I was like Awwww man!!! Annnnnd of course the thing on my iPhone is this creepy bird chirping noise!!! Kinda hard to HIDE!!! LOL Sooooo yeah...I got paid back!!!

.

Prayer!!!

My friend Jen and my friend Hanna had told me a little while back that they were going to be having a prayer seminar or something coming up in May and they were going to be taught by Bro. Garrett! I was like OH AWESOME!!! I know your gonna LOVE it cuz i've taken his prayer classes at the Bible college and they are absolutley fantastic!!! Today I listened to  the prayer seminar HERE!!! AND they were sooooo GOOOOOOOOOD!!! God TOUCHED me today while listening to those. If any of you all out there have a chance you should really, really, REALLY take the time to listen to them!!! They are truley life changing!!! I quote Hanna Kifle, "Mary, my life is FOREVER changed!!!" (Or something like that! I didn't actually record our phone convo! LOL!)

.

I was telling the girls, I just feel soooo blessed that I have had the opportunity to learn about these important subjects for years at the Bible College!!! Bro. Kelley, Bro. Fair THESE MEN ARE ELDERS with soooo much wisdom, and annointing from GOD!!! THEY will NOT be here with us for much LONGER!!! It is SUCH an HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE for us to be able to glean from them!!! AZ young people, WE ARE BLESSED to have the opportunity to learn from these men of God!!! Everyone should be taking advantage of this!!! The class rooms should be PACKED OUT every semester!!! BUUUUUUUUT they aren't!!!! There are young people in other states that tell me all the time that they would LOOOOOOOOVE to go to our Bible college! I think that a lot of people are busy or they think, whats the point? If you graduate, the certificate doesn't even count for anything!!! WHO CARES its NOT about a piece of paper!!! ITS about learning and being taught about God!!! Its about Gaining knowlede from the Bible!!! It is such a BLESSING!!!

I learned LATE in life, for an Apostolic girl that grew up in church since she was two, about prayer. I'll never forget, when I was around 18-years-old, yes I know, I am LATE BLOOMER, ALWAYS that way...I was in the LOWEST reading group in kindergarten and first grade, buuuut when second grade rolled around I could read a 200 page book in one day...I am SLOOOOOOOOOW to learn, but when I do, Oh man WATCH OUT!!! So I got admonished by elder Sis. Abbott during prayer before church one Sunday evening. It was PRAYER TIME and I was just SITTING there!!! I wasn't goofing off, I wasn't causing trouble, I wasn't talking with my friends, I was just sitting there, BORED!!!!!!!!! (Mediocrity and Complacency!!!)

Ooooo Sis. Abbott GOT DOWN ON ME!!! She called me out and said she needed to have a word with me and OOOOO MAN I knew I was BUSTED!!! I'll never forget her beautiful crystal blue eyes peircining into mine as she said to me, "MARY! You need to learn how to pray!" She kept emphasizing it as she admonished me and I remember I was soooo EMBARASSED!!! ANd I'm sure cheeks were red as I just nodded my head and said ok. AND you know, I really do NOT know WHY she picked me to talk to, because there were PLENTY of other people...ADULTS, that could have used a good talking to also, (Just sayin' LOL) buuuuuuuuut I am soooooooo THANKFUL that she did that day.  That talk is FOREVER branded in my mind!!! I was BLESSED to be admonished by her!!!

.

Lockin him up!!!

Sooooo the other day MJ and one of her friends from church was over and they were playing together and I was watching them. Now we have a rule at our house, when MJ has a friend over they are not allowed to shut or lock the doors for the bedroom. Just cause we like to keep everything monitored etc...etc..

.

So I hear MJ and her friend playing in her room and I know they are playing with the baby dolls and then I hear them out in the hallway and then I hear MJ say, "OK! Now shut the door and LOCK IT!!!" I figure its just one of her baby dolls getting in trouble for being "bad" but I figure I better just check in on them.

.

I'm like okaaaaaaay...HOLD UP....what's going on girls?!?!?! Why is THE DOOR being SHUT and LOCKED??? So Mary Jo comes out and she is like, "Weeeeeellll... we are playing house AND..." I'm like, "YES! ANNNNNND???? AND WHAT???"

.

She is like, "AND...long dramatic...ANNNNNND MY HUSBAND, wasn't listening to me!!!" I was like "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???" My mouth was aghast...just hanging open...I just stared at her...SHOCKED!!! I was like, "Soooo you LOCKED HIM IN THE ROOM???" She was just nonchalantley like, YES! I was telling him what to do and he wouldn't listen to me...SOOOO I LOCKED HIM IN THE ROOM!!!"

.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! OMW!!! I just busted up LAUGHING!!! I was like ABSOLUTELY HYSTERICAL!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I can NOT wait till she starts hearing about SUBMISSION!!! Woot! Woot!!! LOLOL!!! Oh man, I really, really, really hope that COLLEGE OF APOSTOLIC MINISTRIES, in GLENDALE ARIZONA, is STILL teaching LADIES OF LEGACY in like 7 years,
