Five days ago, I found myself on the way to the Emergency Room. We hit a deer. It scared me more than the fact that I could not breathe.
Three days ago I found myself in the same situation. No deer this time though.
I think the most frightening part about it all is that I do not know when it is going to happen. You know how a care animal can tell before the person has a seizure or a attack or whatever.. I think I am going to use that as another reason we should get a dog here at the Training Center. haha
Next week, I have an appointment with a cardiologist here in Madison. Maybe that visit will yield more results. And I am going to do my best to stay out of the ER from here until then.
After that, the school has been going well. The students, as a whole, are settling in and enjoying new friendships. We have now had two and a half weeks of teaching and our annual trip to Survivor land (which was the first trip to the hospital). I am co-leading a small group with one of the girls who led my small group two years ago. I am enjoying the leadership I am under and learning from him. I have found that when we allow God to teach us there is a teachable moment everywhere. Not to say that I stopped allowing Him to teach me at any one point, but still being open to whatever it is He wants to show me in a given situation.
I forgot that I let the chickens out, so before I go may I ask you to be praying?
For the students- that they get everything possible out of DTS. That they would be willing to go to the hard places; the places they thought God left them or did not care, etc.
For the staff- just because we are staff does not mean we have "arrived". God is still working on us. Pray we allow God to work in the ways He wants during this time.
For finances- I currently have back debt with YWAM and now I have medical bills. I am trying to not stress out about it, but it is hard.
Pray I have peace.
