October 2008 DTS




Alright...so I know that I have skipped quite a bit of time, but I am trying to bring you all up to current time! Right now I am co-leading a DTS with Ryan Kirk. There are 29 students (from Norway, USA, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and Canada) and twelve staff in total. We have just finished our first week of lectures and next week the speaker will speak on Hearing the Voice of God.
Yesterday everyone finished sharing their testimonies and I know that it has brought us a bit closer. I know we are all going to be growing a lot closer over the next eleven weeks as we journey through this course together. I was left with a heavy heart after hearing everyone's testimonies because it made me realize that it is getting harder and harder to be a kid (whatever that means) these days. To hear personal accounts of such cruelty, doubt, confusion, and heartache, makes it so much more real. I know for a fact that God is going to move in such a massive way this school through everyone's lives. I know that I know that I know that God will meet every single one of the students where they are at. So with all that said, even though there is a lot of brokenness, I am excited for all that He is going to do. Above all, I know that this school has nothing to do with me, nor the staff. I know that everything that happens from here on out is all Him, and to Him I give the glory.
So please pray for strength to continue to obey, for energy to choose to seek what He wants, for wisdom to know what is of the world versus what is Him, for patience in waiting expectantly for Him to move, for understanding that everything is about Him, and for restoration in times of rest.
