God has really been challenging me lately with this DTS. We are here to be leaders and help them in anyway possible, but the truth is we were all just growing together. I've been thinking a lot lately about the future and going into missions full-time. Of course with missions theres always a big fuss about money and support and everything, and sometimes im a little worried about it. But God has been reminding me with these students through this DTS. During the day i would tell them "give your life to God, he will take care of you," "He is your provider" and "He is so faithful" "He loves you so much and He has the best interest in mind for you." and then i would go home at night & worry about my future and different things. It's ridiculous!! How can i believe these things for other peoples lives and then wonder about my own. I know that He is my provider, and things may not happen the way i want or at the time i want, but in the end i trust Him..Because I know that I know that I know He has the best interest in mind for me. Bless you Lord.

His name is Jesus, He is my King!
The last week of the mini DTS is complete. We've wiped our tears, said our goodbyes, and laid hands on our students one last time. These last 4 weeks have been amazing, just watching God transform lives daily, and being able to be apart of it. God has made an impact on these students that will last a lifetime. Though these students have come from backgrounds that we can never understand, may they remember what God has done in and through them during this time. Our DTS may be over, but they will never stop growing in their relationship with Jesus. Everyday spending time with Him, following His ways and becoming more like Him. They have had but a taste of how good and faithful He really is, but then again probably so have i. Every time I think i understand how good He is, He blows me away all over again.
