"So what are you actually doing in CGA ?"  

This is the question that I get asked on a pretty regular basis by people wanting to know a little more about why I moved to Georgia to do this program.  Before actually moving here and starting CGA my answer went something like this: 

"Uh I am like taking classes about identity and calling and stuff and working part time in the AIM office."  

It was super vague and didn't really give a great picture of what it was I was going to do.  To be fair I didn't really know what it was that I was going to do.  But now that I'm here I have a much better understanding of what it is I am doing and what I'm learning.  

If you wanted to get a better picture of what I do here at CGA here is a typical day for me: 

Morning: "ah crap I'm going to be late."  

Professional Development: "What's time management?" 

Identity class:  "you want us to reveal our deepest secrets to each other? Are you serious?" 

Lunch:  "leftovers yay!" 

Apprenticeship:  "You want me to bind how many booklets??"  

5:00p.m.:  "Oh praise the Lord I can go home and watch Netflix."  

In all honestly I am learning so much here in Georgia.  Its been exhausting in the best of ways.  I'm discovering more of my identity and healing wounds that I didn't know I had, finding out what it takes to be an effective missionary, and meeting new and interesting people along the way.  

And the semester has just started!  I can only imagine how much more I will learn as the months go on.
