Cornerstone Church is where we started our teaching today, listening to a sermon on honoring those in authority over us. That role can be filled by so many different people in so many different ways: husbands, Presidents, parents, bosses, teachers! We learned about good leadership based on the role model of David in the Bible who was on the run from King Saul. Saul wanted to kill him so that he would not become the next King. David was presented with an opportunity to kill Saul but chose, instead, to humble himself and honor the authority of his King! And he was rewarded 10 fold.
The sermon was so appropriate as we prepare ourselves to head back home and into the world in whichever way God has planned for each us!
"We're down to the final five contestants", we laughed, as we placed our mats back on the floor for another day of learning. We started with 12 of us 10 days ago, and we feel as though this could be a "Survivor" series except that the others didn't get voted off (they're just following a different program) and we are feeling more convinced that our "final teach" will flow smoothly!
Our focus this afternoon, under the gracious guidance of DeAnna, was on business and marketing and all the steps we should take to establish a safe and happy practice... we learned about LLC's, insurance, ethics of practice, social media, the laws governing practice and a whole lot more from the experiences of Yahweh Yoga over the years they have been both an accredited teacher training school and a place of daily practice...
and for once I didn't cry when she called us teachers!!!!
We are down to the final five yoginis testing this week and the final five days of our training!
Please pray for us: Jan, Christy, Ali, Margarita and me.
We each have our unique God-given styles and dreams...
and they are equally wonderful.
PS. The big breaths and butterflies have reappeared in me ever so gently today:)
