The fall DTS of 2014 is underway! We have a really good group of students- 32 of 'em. They are super sweet and ready to dive into God and what He has for them.
During a couple of worship times, we have had response times and they have immediately flooded the area or whatever to respond to God. It is such a beautiful sight to see people run after God in a way they may have not before.
Today is the fourth full day- the students arrived Saturday and Sunday and we started Sunday evening. I have all 32 names down and I can put the name with the individual which is super exciting for me. I definitely did not expect that. Although, I am not going to lie, it has been slightly overwhelming the last few days just because my "home" was flooded with a TON of people. I have heard some people say they already love it here.. I smile to myself at the comment, remembering the feeling for myself.
This place is one of the safest places I have ever been. I love this old school building in the middle of the cornfields. I love the sounds of the chickens and the dogs and the crickets in the building. I love the sound of little Micah running around asking everyone if they will play with him. I love celebrating life with the people I live with. We have already had a birthday and we have another next week (although we are Survivor camping during that time).
This group is so great and I am so excited to walk on this path with them and cheer them on as they either begin an intimate relationship with God or just learn more and more of who He is. I know the Lord is going to radically show up and change lives. After all, that is what He is good at.
Be praying. Tomorrow is the day we decide one- on- ones and small groups. Wow. I am so honored that I get to walk alongside a couple of girls and be privy to what God is doing in their lives.
