so friends, let's see how this all works. I haven't had a blog/write something to keep people interested personal site since the days of xanga. hmmm, I'm afraid I have lost my touch. (meaning) I don't remember what to do in order to make this look halfway decent in the way of personalization... That's the down-side of facebook I suppose. you can't make it too personal, so you forget that you ever had to go through the work to make things nice-looking. well anyway, enough of that talk. I have created this blog in attempts to keep in touch and communicate to those of you I love while I am gone. now, I know I don't leave for a few more months, but I figure getting a head start would not be the worst of ideas. I hope to keep this current with my thoughts of the future and where I am headed and what I'm up to.
for my friends who have not heard about dts, it is a "Discipleship Training School" with the missions organization (that my family is involved with) YWAM "Youth With A Mission". and as you can see ywam is into acronyms, so if you begin to wonder what some of these words I pepper through my blogs mean, because I forget/fail to give an explanation feel free to ask and I will make sure to explain. dts is the "entry" or primary school of ywam. in dts you learn the basics of discipleship and ministry, as well as tighten your relationship with God. typically dts's are 5 months long. because the dts I plan to attend has a creative focus they extend the time to nine months so that you have the time and ability and brain power to get away with God and glean all that you can from the teachings, as well as the creative times. you know, so your head can be in the right place at all times. God.
in this creative dts there are four tracks. visual art (drawing, painting, things of that nature), dance (well, dance...), music (again, fairly self-explanitory) and media. I have been accepted onto the visual art track, and am very excited about going. for those of you who know me, you may be a bit surprised that I am not going to dance, but for those of you that really know me, you aren't that surprised. I felt as though God was leading me to begin furthering my skills in the visual art area.
ok, I will bring this blog to a close and give my poor little baby autosave a break from this tmi overload. peace and love
