Hey All,
We are half way done with our DTS! I can't believe it. I just have no words to describe what God is doing except to say that he is a good father and he loves his children so much. Its hard to explain all that is happening here. So let me paint a little picture for you to get what I am trying to say. Have you ever got to walk with people closely and love them for where they are at and get to see them radically changed by the love of God and in the midst of it you are be transformed as well. That is what it is. People are being changed by Jesus. The reality that he is here and is never going to stop pursuing us is true. He wants us. He wants us to know that he loves us. He never wants us to walk in pain, self-pity, insecurities or anything secondary to what he created us for. I have realized so much more that there is a battle for our hearts and our minds daily. That the enemy absolutely hates it when people truly love God and become who God created them to be. It is a beautiful thing to see happening.
This DTS has been such a journey to say the least. Its really funny when you come to a place where you think you know everything and then God so kindly reminds you that you only know a snippet of who He is. It makes much more exciting when there is something new to be learned every day. I will be honest when you think you know everything you think you have all the answers and I don't want to have the answers if God has them all already. (Let's be honest he handles things a lot better then I do when I have the answers. Hahhaha...) That is why journeys are so much fun to be on because you never know and what they hold for you. I am learning something about myself and it is that I love adventures. Hahaha... I never thought I was that type until I started all that I am doing and realize I find life so dull with out them. That change is lots of fun for the most part and to embrace it because it comes whether or not I like it. Fear only holds you back from the things that you have only ever wanted to do so if you are afraid just know its probably holding you back.
I feel like many people are curious of what I am doing next and all I got to say is guys I have only been here over a 5 months and I don't know. However, I am on a continual journey with God and so it will not always look as thought out as it should in the worlds eyes but in his its beautiful. I know that lots of my life will be lived loving him and fallowing what he has for me. That is all I know. Its the greatest journey I know to be on. And some times it will look unconventional, scary and probably ridiculous but there is something in my bones that can't be contained and it I have to go and do what he wants to go and do. So if you are wondering what the journey in your life is ask Him. He will tell you and if its a bit outrageous then that is a good thing. We have to stop letting the things that scare us hold us back. I have to tell myself this all the time because once I step out to do it, love it!! So I just feel to encourage you ask the Lord what you should do. It could be lots of fun.
