(On our last day of training we had a treat at Starbucks-Provided by Tim Pratt)

DTS Training Staff was amazing more than words can describe… of course one the of main reason is because Tim Pratt led and taught the training, he is just amazing and he is such an authentic man of God, an excellent example of a great leader! God spoke to my life about the importance of being authentic, vulnerable and transparent (God is so amazed that definitely gave be the opportunity to be all that in the open with wonderful people during that week, and applying each day). I MEAN, how am I going to lead someone to the Lord and be a reflection of the power of the love of God if I am not these three descriptions?, how can I expect for others to be like that with me if I am not willing to go there??!!  God definitely challenged me to go day by day and examine my heart and life to see if these three words describe me. BUT something so awesome God showed me and reminded me through Tim Pratt’s life before that was to always have in mind what God thinks about me, to intentionally seek to spend time with God, to constantly ask God what He thinks about me because that’s going to define how I see myself and can be so so beneficial in the way I life my life(and to go deeper with Him when I ask what He thinks about me).  Also something super super important that was mentioned during this week was that if I don’t recognize God’s voice, if I don’t know how to listen to God’s voice, how am I going to be any good to others (especially now that God has given me the responsibility to lead others). The more intimate time I have with God and listen to His voice for guidance and encouragement for my own life, the easier will be to walk in His will and to be sensitive to listen when He shares to me something about someone else’s needs in their personal life or words of encouragement for their needs.

 Keilley and Jenna- Wonderful women of GOD

Now last week, we (all the DTS Staff and amazing, amazing directors)have been working so hard to have things ready for the school and the students’ arrival. I was given the task of translating the speakers’ PowerPoint, biographies and any other handouts that will be given during the school. IT IS FUN- God reminded me that He has gifted me with the gift of translation so definitely translating the paper-work has helped me a lot in preparing me to translate the sessions in a greater way. It’s So awesome to be able glorify God with my bilingual skills ;), literally everything I have and everything I am belongs to Him and I pray is used for His glory (He should receive all the credit).
