Rich love, Powerful presence

The Lord is SO good. Just in one day, He is already overwhelming me with His presence and intense love. This a God who does not want to be on the sidelines of my life but he wants to be the complete center and be in the middle of everything that ever happens to me. He is showing me the intense love He has for me through the people He has placed in my life. I've known these people for what three days? It's so insane how much love is permeating around this campus 24/7. It's not a love that is out of obligation or because people feel like they should be nice. This is the true genuine love of Jesus that has effected the lives of the staff and everyone that has been brought here, and they all want it to explode off of them into the lives of others. God is SO GOOD! Tonight after dinner was "How I got to Montana" night, and all 52 DTS students had the opportunity to stand up and explain the way God brought them to Lakeside Montana. Whether it was a simple story that they applied and got in because they lived nearby or a story that evolved in someone's life since 6th grade, it was so obvious to me that God has destined these exact 52 people for this specific time and place. None of it was by accident or chance, but the God of the Universe took the time to prove to all of us why He needs us here and the ways He wants to moves in our lives. I have so much more running through my head, but it's time for some sleep!
