The Final Session of Gracepoint Training School

This past Monday was the final session of Gracepoint Training School. I took Soul Care with Kelly Kang, and the class was a real blessing to me. I think the best thing for me is that I walked away with the sense that I need to take the main lessons and start to live them out daily. The text book was great too. There were some memorable and inspiring quotes from Richard Foster's Celebrations of Discipline. For example,

Real prayer is life creating and life changing. “Prayer – secret,
fervent, believing prayer – lies at the root of all personal godliness,” writes William Carey. [Celebration of Discipline, p.33]

Often I am inclined to think that joy is the motor, the thing that keeps everything going. Without joyous celebration to infuse the other Disciplines, we will sooner or later abandon them. Joy produces energy. Joy makes us strong. [Celebration of Discipline, p.191]

During the final session, Kelly Kang shared with the class some of the ways in which she personally worships. A couple of them really struck me as something I can apply immediately:

• Before dt, expect to hear from God by silencing myself for 1 minute and asking him to speak to me.
• Do things to honor God even when no one is looking.

If you were blessed in any way through your GTS class, please feel free to share.
