I’m about six weeks into my DNA course and so far I have been amazed at the new things God has revealed to me and at how much He has done in me already in such a short space of time.

 

When I first arrived at DNA I was really nervous and worried about a number of things; worried that I wasn’t going to be good enough or have enough knowledge to do the course, that people would see me as stupid or not ‘spiritual’ enough and generally that I would not be able to cope with the year. I spent the first few days wondering whether I was really meant to be on this course, but God revealed to me that these thoughts and mind sets were coming from the enemy.

 

Once I realised that I was supposed to be here I found things easier, there have been many things in these first few weeks that I have felt unable to do, but I have been learning to trust God. I’ve found that I can actually do a lot that I thought I couldn’t do before, many of these things have stretched me and have been uncomfortable for me, but the change that it has brought is well worth it. God has been challenging me on my confidence, how I see myself, self-consciousness and most recently the fact that I am dead to my old self and alive in Christ!! I knew this all in my head, but I didn’t know it in my heart, I’ve only just started feeling like a ‘son of the King’.

DNA has provided me with an environment which is really stretching for me, but where I feel safe.
