In my year thus far at Doulos, God has taught me a lot about relationships and community. One of the reasons I came to Doulos was to work on the way that I relate to other people. This year, I have discovered a lot about my attachment style, and about unhealthy coping mechanisms that I have that keep me from healthy relationships. Through Doulos, God is challenging the ways that I relate with Him and my peers.
God has also taught me a lot about the unhealthy ways in which I view Him and myself. Through my experiences here, God has challenged my core beliefs about Him, myself, others, and the world. While difficult (and still incomplete), the struggles I have experienced here have prepared me to get rid of unhealthy, sinful attitudes and behaviors.
