Dawn
Landis attended a six-week term at Rosedale Bible College,
Irwin, Ohio, in January.
| She
writes about her experience….
Wow….I
have gone through so much in these six weeks at Rosedale, it will probably
take me a while to process it all. In
many ways it has seemed like a long time, and in other ways I can hardly
believe it’s done. Most of the time I was really homesick and trying to
adjust to the study load, but the last
week I was there I really started to enjoy the friends I had come
to know. It was hard to leave, but I’m blessed to have been able to meet
some special people. |
 |
The two classes that I took were “Marriage
and the Family” and Peace, Justice, and Simplicity.”
Marriage and the Family was very interesting with practical ways to have
good relationships. Peace, Justice
and Simplicity greatly broadened my view of God’s kingdom.
Some of the highlights for me were playing
volleyball, participating in hymn sings in the gym, and enjoying one-on-one
conversations with some of the girls. Also, thanks so much to all the people who
thought of me, prayed for me, and sent notes and emails. It really encouraged
me, and I’m trusting that God used this time to do great things in my life.
