Faith & Fatalism

It is now week six in our Leadership Training School (LTS) and we have Darlene Cunningham, the cofounder of YWAM, speaking with us about YWAM DNA. It's very good!

The speaker that has impacted me so far the most though, has been David Hamilton (provost of UofN and founder of YWAM Chile). His stories and teachings provoked me so much to be a person that not only dreams and has vision, but that has faith to actually implement vision. It put such a burning desire in my soul to be someone who makes things happen, someone who is not satisfied with the status quo but who can co-create with God to make a real difference in the world.

I realized for the first time how fatalistic my attitude towards the world is. I know now that FAITH does not go along with fatalism! I need to change my attitude, and though I may feel inadequate, I can't be afraid to trust God for big things!

Part of our assignment on the LTS is to each develop and plan a project (something that should take at least 5 years). Already God has put so much vision in my heart for several projects I would like to pioneer. They are things that are way above my head, but I guess that's what faith is about. I'll talk about them more another time.
