The topic of our first week of school was "Hearing God's Voice". The second week was "Introduction to Bible", and now we are beginning the topic of "The Father heart of God". This topic is my ultimate favorite because it impacted me so much in my DTS. The speaker comes from New Zealand and his name is Steve.
The time so far as a leader has been quite an experience. I never imagined how much work actually goes in to make a YWAM school run, and now I know. I wake up early to meet with the leadership team to pray, then attend class, then meet again to discuss things, then plan stuff, and make time for students, and help clean and cook whenever its necessary- which is all the time. I"m struggling a little bit.I feel like I never have any time to myself, but worse, for God. I know that in everything that I do I can do to the glory of God, but I"m seriously lacking in some good ol' quiet time. I do miss having more time for myself, but it's true- There's a time for everything.
Since I've been here in Germany God has been teaching me to speak truth in all areas of my life. A lot of times I tend to over exaggerate and build up stories for dramatic effect... but lately I have felt convicted to just tell things how it is. I think this is especially important in the area of counselling students. When people confront me with problems I tend to beat around the bush- but this is wrong. People need to hear truth, even if it hurts sometimes. I am learning a new discipline which is truth in every area. I don't need all the answers, but I need to be responsible with what I do know.
I"m excited for this weeks teaching, and for the months to come here. I have no idea what the future holds except that I will do all I can to the glory of my God and it will be an adventure!
Please keep me in your prayers... Prayers are needed.
