First week of the Impact UK DTS. Success!
Though we are still missing a few of the accepted trainees, most everyone has arrived safe and sound and are bonding through the shared experience of the awkward DTS introduction. I can already see friendships forming and God working in their lives. Needless to say, I am so pumped to see more happen!
Currently, we are having a time of praise and worship and prayer. The trainees have been asked to write themselves a letter about what they want to get out of this DTS, which they will then seal and read at the end of DTS. I think many people, myself included, come thinking they will simply learn about God and that's it. But God is so much bigger than that! He doesn't want us to just know Him; He wants a genuine relationship with us, each of us! Someone used this quote during my DTS and it really stuck with me,
"God loves us enough to meet us where we're at, but too much to keep us where we're at".
And I think this quote is so true. We were not made to dwell in the muck and grime of sin, but to be pulled out of that and cleaned by the grace of God.
So, though it's only the first week of DTS, I know that God has big plans for all of us, staff included, to pull us out of the dirt and into His Kingdom. Blessed be the name of the Lord! Somebody give me an "AMEN"!
That's a great quote!
