Every time I read an email from the lady at YWAM Paris, I cry. Pretty much every time. Not because of anything she says, in particular, just because it's real.
I have wanted to go there so badly! And all my planning on it has fallen through. I've also wanted to do a DTS for years.
Could it really be lining up? That's why I cry every time.
Yes, I'm an emotional person, but I don't usually just cry about emails or life opportunities even. This one is just too great! And I don't know where it leads in the future. My sister did a DTS, then did a couple more, then went on staff. I'm not putting my stock in anything further than this trip, (and not even that yet, cause it's so expensive) but this possibility alone is unreal to me.
I don't even know what more to say than that. I get so blown away every time I think of this. See, the Paris base was disbanded for a couple years, they were only doing Kings Kids, and not actual DTSs. Now they're reforming everything, and next spring is their first DTS. That's also when I was planning on being done with school. So in my heart and head, I committed to it...even though now I don't know what next year looks like for me otherwise.
I'm planning on this, in a way that if I don't go then, there will be more. I can have more time to save, more time to be prepared. But I am going. I say that with the firm belief that I didn't get to go before, (when I wanted to for school & it would've been a mistake) and now a better opportunity has arisen that I would much prefer to take. So I'm going.
