I'm so glad to know that I don't have to be perfect. No human is supposed to be perfect, yet sometimes (even unconsciously) we set these crazy standards for ourselves to be everything we think we're supposed to be and do everything we think we're supposed to do. I've put this type of pressure on myself on many occasions.It is so encouraging everyday to walk into my classroom, which is actually just an outdoor pavilion, and see this sign made by one of my DTS staff members. Even from the very first day of classes here I felt like the Lord was telling me to just let down my guard and be free to just be me and to live in His love. I'm not required to do everything right all of the time or to be perfect in everything I do. Mistakes and failure are part of life - and its okay! The key is to keep seeking after the Lord, spending time with Him, and resting in His love.
Here's a picture of the building I'm living in for the next three months. I'm in a room with five other girls. It only has one bathroom but its also has a great view!

Pretty awesome lisa! I am excited for all the new input you're getting! how refreshing to be released to just BE!
Keep up the good work!
That is so true,... remembering who you are in God and who God wants you to be! Just You! That is something that we can sometimes forget,... at least I know I do at times!
God would have made us different if He wanted us to be different! But He made us perfect in His eyes, His creation that He made! =)
