Finally! Another glimpse into my life
I apologize for not writing sooner - this past month has been a busy one, in a good way =) I've had some amazing moments, fun with friends, loving God together, looking back and reflecting on Outreach and DTS as a whole, telling, hearing, sharing stories that we'll never forget...
I've also been through some rough times: having to say goodbye to people who have become as close as family can be, to God given sisters, brothers, friends who I never through I would have. I never though I'd dislike living alone, in my own bedroom. The quietness was unsettling, and it was hard to be here in a place where I gained so many memories without my DTS family. And yet, God has been good, and He's put new people in my life, new friendships, new things.
I graduated from SDTS on August 19th, and since then, I've been working as a mission builder in the Communications Department on base, doing graphics and photography. This is actually my first experience (ever since getting my degree in graphics back in '09) that I've been in a graphic design office of any sort, and it has been an amazing experience, one that I really enjoy. I'm very sure that the element of working for a Christian graphics dept, makes it much more appealing than working in the secular world. But my time there is almost up. School of Worship is starting in a week!
I can't tell you in words how excited I am. Excitement isn't the only emotion though - there's definitely some nervousness, a lot of freaking out, and a tiny bit of fear and 'what-ifs' running through my mind. After having the most amazing journey of my life in my DTS, I'm hoping and praying that SOW will just be an extension of the most incredible journey I've ever taken, starting from the moment I sent in my SDTS application, and throughout the rest of my life. The exciting thing is that I know I'm surrounded by God-loving people, who have a passion for adventure and worship. People who I will trust with my life, for the rest of my life, some of whom were in my DTS, and are coming back at various times over the course of the next couple months, to do all sorts of different things =D And! I'll still get to work for the communications dept, once in a while =D
Anyway, on the financial side of things, I want to ask for your continual support. The cost of SOW is the same as my DTS: $5950 for the course, which will run from September 19th, through to mid February. That doesn't include the cost of my day-to-day living here. And so I urge you, please pray about how God can use you to help me =) Whether that is a one time gift, or monthly support, or a prayer. Every bit counts! Or just send me an email ([email protected]) and say hi on facebook =) I'd love to hear from you!
