It has been quite some time since I've blogged last. I lost my passion for writing for a bit but God has brought it back to me and I'm happy to be able to continue to update you all with what is going on in my life.
The YWAM Denver School of Worship just began on this previous Monday and my first week here has been an absolute blast. Already God has pointed out several areas in my life, pride issues and insecurities and the like, that I had no idea were still so strongly immanent in my life. I know God is going to iron out a lot of creases in my character and I just want to stand, or kneel, before Him broken every day and let Him do everything He wants to do.
The dynamics of this quarter are quite different from my DTS, especially because there are far fewer people here than before, about 55 students total as opposed to 100+. The people I'm getting to know here are phenomenal human beings, as were those I went to school with in the Fall. The DTSers are coming into the program noticeably hungry for God and are going to get a ton out of this quarter, and already have out of this first week, which doesn't even have a ton of teaching, just bonding time. It's great hearing them talk about how crazy it is that they've only been here a week, that it feels like they've been there for months already. That's exactly how I felt at the end of week one, It blows my mind how quickly God moves when you really surrender your time and resources to pursue Him.
The director for my school, Will Strickland, is an incredible, passionate teacher and has a grasp on the point of worship like I've honestly never seen or heard of before anywhere else. In short he is of the belief that every aspect of worship has to do not just with your relationship with God but with people as well, 1 John 4 being his primary premise for that belief, or perhaps just the most straightforward. The beautiful thing is that God had just begun to reveal that truth to me, through 1 John 4, at the end of my outreach. So He has given me a teacher who is further down that path than me, who is just following Jesus in this, and I can follow him for that reason. Needless to say, again, I'm very excited for what God is going to do and teach me this quarter.
Please be praying for me in this new season of my life. God wants to do a lot in and through me this quarter and the enemy is going to fight with claws out to hold me back.
These are things that I would really appreciate prayer for:
That'd I'd be broken every day
For vision of where God is leading me, in this quarter, this year, and decade
That I'd be increasingly sensitive to God's voice
For good health
Inspiration
And much much humility
