Saturday May 29th, 2010. I graduated from my training program. My Training to think, feel and BE like Jesus Christ the Lord of Lords. A day I was very much looking forward to. The training and processing was heavy, grueling and intense.
In the old days, in order to make a horseshoe. A piece of iron would be placed in the fire by the blacksmith. Heated and put under that pressure until red hot. At that point the blacksmith would take the Iron out of the Fire and place the hot iron on a post and start to pound of it with a hammer. Relentless hammering of this iron, to get it to bend. He would do this over and over again, heating and beating this iron. Until it was shaped and formed into a horse shoe. It could serve its purpose then.
God is my blacksmith and I am his iron. Dibor was my fire pit and hammering post. Now I am the horse shoe.
My purpose is to Love God, Be Christ and Obey the Love of the Father. He will guide me, heal me and lead me down the narrow path. The scriptures continue to reside in my heart, more and more everyday.
Its such an interesting and complex feeling to be done with Dibor and out of the dorms there. Will I miss that daily pounding? No, that difficult obstacle course has been completed. What I will miss is my family there. My brothers and sisters in Christ who were there by my side every moment of the journey. Guys, dont every forget Christ is in you the Hope of Glory. We dont stray away from eachother and we will not stray away from God. Know in your heart that it was worth it, because it was. And youll realize this more and more throughout the rest of your life.
Im proud of what I just accomplished. Im in awe of the One True God who controls it all. I have learned much and loved many. Im ready for more and excited for the Lord to guide me. Lord I bless all my Dibor classmates and may all who read this know you more. Thank you for Your Love. You Love us, More than we can possibly understand. Thank you God.
