I realized a few days ago that I have been here in Australia for now 5 years, serving with Youth With A Mission. (I even have the stamp in my passport to prove I touched down June 6th 2007). During my time here I have had the chance to help teach about 30 film students, directly mentoring them, as well as being involved in the training of countless Discipleship Training School students. But ministering to others is not all that God has decided that he wants to do with me during this time. I feel like the last 5 years have been a continuous training session. Sometimes, it was formal training, like the 2 years that I was part of the Basic Leadership School. Other times (basically the rest of the time), it has been informal.
During these past training sessions I always felt like I had training wheels on, that is was safe. And now, I've finally come to a place where I want to take them off. Sure, they kept me from some nasty spills, but they also have held me back from any of the biggest things out there for me. (I mean how many of the cyclists in the Tour de France have training wheels?) I want to try out the upper range of my gears and see what can be done. Time to rely on God completely, school's out.
