Training here is a bit different from what I am used to. This is a picture I got while thinking of how to describe it.
Imagine a play room filled with wonderful and exciting toys. You have waited a long time to go in and play and finally you get to go in. The leader then takes you in and all of the toys are either behind glass or roped off. Like a museum. This leader then takes you around and points out all these toys and gives a history of them and what they were used for. However, you never really get to touch anything because apparently these toys are dangerous.
I came to a school where the leader has taken us into the play room and there is no glass or ropes.
The toys are intended to be used and played with, even if they are a little dangerous. That's the point of playing isn't it? You give kids hammers and tiara's and someday these kids build our homes and run our countries. Imagine what would happen if we roped off God's gifts to His kids and told everyone they were dangerous or not for now.
Oh wait, I already have.
Out of a desire to be safe I have discouraged friends and family from experiencing the fullness of God. And by the way, He is dangerous. But He is also good. He is very good.
So I am here in a playroom with all of God's wonderful toys and I am learning how to use them the way they were created to be used.
This is my prayer for those who are supporting me in finances and in prayer. That we would enter God's play room and discover the greatness he has for us in His kingdom WITHOUT fear.
Here we go.
