First let me say that I have been a watcher for some time now. I have
often wanted to say something on various subjects but after fully
reviewing what I would say, I decided that it would not be beneficial to
anyone. It would only be my opinion.
This brings me to this subject of Phase II testing and NTC. I went to
both with some trepidation since I felt that I was overly qualified to
be subjected to anyone's testing. The unknown was scary and I was out of
a position of control. Let me tell you this... The training was
priceless! I had to rely on my God! I had to go to Him in prayer!
And when I turned my fear and my resentfulness over to His leading I had
the greatest time in my life!
I read that some disagree with some of the teaching methods. I was
given one particular lesson that could have only been driven home in the
manner it was presented. They could have given me the facts but NOT THE
FEELING! and that feeling represented how a boy feels when he is
treated in the same manner. I know the man that led that NTC training
and I know that even he is brought to tears in prayer before he gives
that lesson. It is the hardest lesson he has to teach and also one of
the most valuable. He told me that he will not teach that lesson again,
its just too hard to do. I pray that someone does.
On my refrigerator is this saying:
A SERVANT'S HEART
A true test of a servant is if I act like one when I am treated like
one.
Matthew 23:11
I hope that some of this is helpful, and encouraging for some of you.
