MDTS: the end

So, the journey is over.

I had this huge vision of me updating lots of really profound posts along the way, all the lessons I was learning, all the life I was living.  But, most fortunately, I was too busy living out my golden year to even keep up with my journaling, much less posting blogs.  I'm still stuck somewhere in August processing-wise, so my last month in the Motherland will be filled with writing, I can foresee.

But yesterday I graduated from my DTS.  I can't believe five months passed in a blink of an eye.  There is one overwhelming feeling, and that is utter gratefulness.  I have no regrets.  I lived to the full, gave it everything I had, and I am so happy I am so much better for it.  Other reflections to come later...

I wrote this during the last week of outreach...if I could sum up my time succinctly (which we know I can't really), it would be this:

You walked with me

You led me to love

To hold the hands of the needy

To feed the child who was hungry

You walked with me

You led me to love

To pray for the brokenhearted

To walk with the lonely-hearted

Oh a song of praise 

I sing to You, my Lord

All things my eyes have seen

Reflect Your beauty and Your love

You walked with me

You led me to love

To dance with You forever

To where Your intimacy is enough

You walked with me

You led me to love

To see Your healing and power

And know I belong with You forever

Oh a thousand dreams

of greatness and grandeur

Can't compare to You

Your glorious adventure

My life I give to You

To do with as You will

I will follow You

I'll follow You forever
