Full-Time Training - Testimonies

No Regrets!, A.L.

While in college at Cal State University, Long Beach I made the firm decision to go to the Full-Time Training in Anaheim (FTTA). However, the longer I was in college the more my love for the Lord waned. I got caught up with schoolwork and spending time with my friends. The Lord was out on the back burner as I sped busily through college life. It was not as if I forgot about Him or stopped turning to Him, it was just that other things came before the Lord.

I still remember at the end of my senior year sitting in 98-degree heat with a black cap and gown on. My friends were so happy and were making future plans concerning jobs, school, marriage, and life beyond college. And there I was sitting in a white folding chair, graduating with honors in Human Development with plans to spend the next two years in a little known Bible school called the Full-Time Training in Anaheim. I felt a little out of place with my future plans, but within I knew I had to go.

I recall praying to the Lord that within those two years He would make my love for Him grow. I knew that my love for Him was warm and not hot. I wasn't satisfied with just being rather lukewarm; it was a terrible feeling. So, I gave two years of my life to come to the Full-Time Training. This was a decision that I have never regretted.

Today, as I'm finishing the second year of the Training I can say that I truly love the Lord. He has gained my heart for Him more than ever before. Through many situations I have learned to rely on Him and to take Him as my source and supply. The Training has taught me how crucial it is to spend time with the Lord to get to know Him. He is a wonderful Person with a more than abundant, life-giving supply. The Training has set the foundation for the rest of my Christian life. All I can say is that I am so glad He has brought me to the FTTA and I love Him with all my heart.
