DTS Update (Part Two)

I wanted to break this into two parts because I know that it can be a lot of reading and I wanted to make it easier!

Okay so week eight we talked about Biblical Worldview! This week was super interesting and we learned so much. A big part of this week that I gained understanding of is that I don’t want to just be “happy”. Happiness was something I craved in life, especially while I was healing/working through my depression (I still am in some ways). But I realized that “happiness” is cheap and at the end of the day what I really want with God is “wholeness”. This really spoke to my heart, and I have been really working on with God how to be “whole” again. In order to be whole I have to walk through my past darkness and find where Jesus was in those parts (because He definitely was) and finding all of those pieces will help me become whole again. So instead of focusing on “happiness” I have grown with Jesus in piecing back together my wholeness and finding contentment in whatever season I am in.

Woohoo! Week nine! This was probably my favorite week of DTS so far and has really changed the way I view relationships.I learned so much during this specific week, but I am going to focus on the part that spoke to me most: singleness. Singleness was always something so daunting and scary to me. I always thought that a relationship would fix everything or make me happy. But after this week I realized that isn’t the case at all. I learned about how important singleness is, especially in my walk with God. I have so many things I need to heal from and grow in with God and I am honestly so excited about it. I need to know my identity in Christ and the dreams I have and go for them! If you would’ve told me even a few months ago that I was actually going to be excited and happy to be single I would have told you that you were crazy! But this is a season that I am really looking forward to.
