Today seems to have gone really quickly, but we have done a lot of good stuff. Quiet Time lead in to our weekly session of prayers for other people. Today we learnt about a largely unreached group of people in India who this YWAM base has links with. I didn't really feel like praying at first, but once we got in to it, things started to flow and we got a lot done.
We continued our lecture series on The Holy Spirit, which was good again. Funnily enough, my daily Bible reading booklet has been about the Holy Spirit for the last two days now too! Also, the sections of Blue Like Jazz that I've been reading have fitted with what we have been learning about recently. I'm really getting in to that book now - I think the author should have introduced some of the terms he uses (such as "Christian spirituality"), earlier - before he uses them the first time, but he goes on to explain what he means later, so things make sense, and it will make it easier to read a second time. The author is really coming to grow on me as a man with a true thirst for God, and a desire to make Him known.
After Community Care, we got to rest for the afternoon, and then I went to the pub with my "small group" (just the guys on this YWAM DTS course). We had an interesting chat about theology and behaviour when talking to non-Christians.
When we got back to Holmsted Manor, I started properly preparing for my introduction to tomorrow's Quite Time. I'll be talking about Psalm 37, and how we can think about our post DTS future a bit, but really we just need to concentrate on what is going on here, and give the rest to God: a message I've had to tell myself quite a few times since starting the course!
Thanks for reading. Please feel free to add a comment to this, or any other blog entry.
