I can describle my experience of this training for my journey this year, in an ice skating session. The time it takes to learn how to fly over the cold frozen water. More like stick man skating....
Just like in the beginning of something new you struggle a lot to find your balance on blades. It's a new adventure to learn so much more about Jesus and the Bible. But the thing that really stood out was when we put all that we had learnt to practice out there. Standing on the slippery ice, I was holding the barricades for my dear life in order not to fall. Slowly I let go of the barricades by shuffling forward, knees bent, and there I go. I did not go far on my own before I slipped and fell on my bottom.
I believe that Jesus will come and help me up again and hold my hand by skating next to me. I did experience Jesus' love for me and the nation through His eyes. I am extremely excited to see what is going to happen on this journey with Him.
