Wow! Praise God! These past two weeks have been so wonderful! I've been learning so much! These speakers are so amazing. I love lectures! Currently John Merphy is teaching about relationships. What a great topic, from such an oustanding guy. John is the DTS director of Boarders DTS just outside of Denver Colorado. He is 31 years old, married to an amazing gal and has 5 children while he travels often speaking in various DTS schools on the topic of relationships. Yesterday we got to hear his story. It rocked my world! I have not heard of anyone who has both experienced as many miracles and losses. This guy was healed miraculously from a broken tail bone and serious cancer and constantly had oppurtunities to see crazy healings unfold before his eyes as he took his teams on outreaches around the world. But this same man lost his mother in law to cancer as well as his darling little 10 month old baby. More recently a young man shot up his DTS school, killing 2 students. Though it was evident as he shared how much these things tore him to pieces inside, he shared with us through his tears how he was still choosing to trust in God and how he couldn't see how he could have done it without Him. John said we have to choose sometimes even in the good and bad times to say "Blessed be Your Name" to God, even when we don't feel like it. Wow! I was shaken to my core seeing this man's faith, and how he just keeps going no matter what. I was encouraged how much God can use us when we are broken and weak almost more than when we are strong. But I don't like to be broken or weak, I don't know who does, but I am just so encouraged to go forward like this man of God and change the world like him and other amazing people!
I'm so looking forward to everything God is going to teach me this rest of the week. Pray that I might have ears to hear and a heart open to receive whatever God wants to show me. Thank to all my supporters back home and I just want to say that I am sooo close to my financial need for my tuition payments! God knows all my needs and will provide! He is GOOD!!!
