Today was orientation day on the base for DTS (discipleship training school)! It was so awesome! We started out with a great base worship time this morning. the blue room was full of people and the Spirit. It was such a special time. Everyone felt God's presence in the room. I was blown away... we were all worshiping whole-heartedly and it was such an amazing environment. I've missed worship like that. So heartfelt. Amazing. Although there were 60 other people in the room, it felt like it was just me and God. I didn't want it to end, but the rest of the morning was awesome too. The DTS leader, Mallory, came up and introduced the vision of the school, then the students had time to reflect and ask for prayer and make goals for the school. It was great! I'm so excited to see these students grow. Their prayer requests included giving up their inhibitions to God... not holding on to anything but openly falling into God's love. What an exciting request. I remember when I reached that point on my DTS... then exponentially grew from there. God has so much to share with each of these students... and with me.
I'm stoked for this school for my own growth too... last night I stayed up past midnight praying for vision and goals for the school. God revealed things He wanted me to work on and new challenges to live up to. It's so exciting. One of my commitments is to wake up at 6 every morning. I want to start every morning with a quiet time with God... dedicating the day to Him. Then I'll still have time to have breakfast with the girls before lectures at 8am. I've been learning so much already and can't wait to see what God's going to show me next. It's so different being on staff.. I have much more responsibility, but that also presents more opportunity for growth. God is good. :)
I'm so excited for my one-on -ones too. The girls are so incredibly sweet and open to growth. God is going to blow them away. And I get to be a part of it... encouraging them along the way. What a blessing! I love that God has allowed me to have a position of mentorship... that i can encourage people the way I was encouraged. I'm forever indebted to the leaders from my school.... and hope to have an impast on the students here.
I'm also looking forward to the SBS (school of Biblical studies) in September. It's a pioneering school from this base and I've had the opportunity to talk to the leaders... they have such an amazing passion for knowing the Bible inside and out. I'm so looking forward to being a part of it. I get so much out of the Bible already, but it'll be exciting to know it more in depth... and in context. SO EXCITED!
There are many more great things going on here... God is working in big ways already!
Write more soon....
