I've been in Colorado Springs for just over a week, and I think it's about time to call this place my temporary home. This short time has been such a roller coaster of events that I felt it would be best to wait until I completely settled myself before writing any updates.
I am staying at a the YWAM base, otherwise known as The Park. It was once a Hilton hotel and is one of the nicest bases, or so I am told. I share a room with three other girls, who have been having as hard of a time as I have fitting all of our stuff into the three drawers allotted to each of us. I will post pictures of all of this once I have taken enough.
Most of the first week consisted of orientation, in which a mass of explanations and guidelines were thrown at us, which left some of confused, agitated and wondering what exactly we signed up for. Finally the teaching began on Tuesday.
Our first week was on hearing the voice of God. Our speaker, who was amazing, gave great insights into simplifying the fact that God really does want to talk to us and show us His heart and how we could put it into practice. I'm already blown away by how much God has spoken to me and the people around me, simply because I asked Him to and waited for His answer! It's something that I've never quite understood the simplicity of until now.
It's only been a week and God's become so much more real to me than ever before. I am doing things that I never thought possible and I realize that it is truly just the beginning. I'm still trying to get a hang of this DTS thing and can barely fathom the idea that I'm going to have to deny myself in so many ways for six months, but I know there is so much in store for me and the rest of my class. There's no way I would turn back now.
Thanks for reading,
God bless!
Kathleen
