Thinking differently

Preparing for the outreach at the end of DTS will definitely require a change to how we think, but that is the goal of a YWAM DTS right? Our speaker this week is filled with 39 years of stories about how he has lived his life listening for God's voice and following it, not concerning himself with how illogical it sometimes sounds; just doing what he hears, with great success and a lifetime of stories to increase a persons faith. As he puts it, our only vocation in life is to learn to hear from God, so that we can find God's will for our lives. If we figure that out everything else will fall in line. That is what he is teaching us to do now.

So as I think back about our last minute meeting to choose the location of our outreach, 20 minutes to pray and decide where we are going once we knew the choices, and little information that we have about next steps, leadership is not concerned about this and neither should we be. The leadership at YWAM makes no move unless they feel that they hear God, and when they are listening hear, everything works out as it is intended. So our job is to stop thinking and start listening...just like the goal we had set a couple off weeks ago (seems to me that God gave us a couple of weeks practice).

Time for us to wrap up our night; to stop fretting, thinking, planning, processing....and start listening. Keep praying for us, this gets more interesting by the day!
