Starting quarter two

I would first like to apologize to all that I promised I would update this blog, because it never happened. Here are a few notes about my life over the past three months. life is going well here, I am increasingly busy all the time. Writing papers, and journals, and other projects. But I am still loving it all. I am learning lots, and God has really been teaching me what it means to be emotionally mature. I feel like I've been mature for my age most of my life, however I have always been a person who feels everything, and basis a lot of my decisions on what I feel, because I feel so deeply. Which isn't always a bad thing, but He has been teaching me to find my source in what I know is true and not just how I feel. It is a tough but really important lesson especially in being a teacher when there are times emotions will be really high and I can't just react on how I feel but rather on what I know I need to do and how to act.


God has also taught me a lot about what it means to have Him as my best friend and my comforter. There has been a lot of pain and trials in life over these three months, but He has never ceased to amaze me. A tough thing about living in YWAM is the constant change of people around you. People always come and go. You get to meet a lot of amazing people, but you also say good bye to a lot of them often. The girls in my school have changed only a little. 4 left, 2 came in. But a lot of my other friends are now gone. Great to hear their stories, but sad to see them go.


This next quarter, the focus is methods. So I learn the Montessori teaching methods, a biblical curriculum methods, as well as the importance of play in Early Childhood Education. It will be a very full and very busy quarter, but I am so excited to really get the teachings of being a teacher.
Some of the fun things I have done these three months, are going to different beaches, going stand up paddle boarding, swimming with dolphins, seeing sea turtles, and cliff jumping.
Hawaii is beautiful, and I thank God often for how incredible His creation is.


I am much better at getting back to emails. So if you have any questions, please feel free to email me at beckydklassen@gmail.com and I will probably get back to you sooner than I update my blog.
