This past week at Training Camp was truly life changing. I learned so much about myself, that I didn’t know I still didn’t know! I now know that God will never be satisfied with me until he has my ENTIRE life. Not just parts of it, or not just when I feel like giving it to Him, but ALL of my life. Because it is then, and only then that God can really use me for His Plan. Even though I still struggle with why certain things in my life had to happen the way that they did, I cannot be anything but grateful for those experiences. All of those good, bad and ugle times have made me into the complicated, intricate, mysterious woman that I am today.

I praise God for giving me my life in particular. I praise God for always being there for me and sticking by my side always. Looking back, the things of my past should have kept me stuck. There is no way I could still be standing here without God pulling me through that whole time. Not really physically, but mentally, emotionally and more. People say all the time, how we wonder how people don’t go crazy and lose their minds after certain life struggles. A lot of people have asked me that over the years. My only answer is that God was and is always there for me. Yeah, bad things still happen to me even though I know the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. There was never a promise that bad things wouldn’t happen. But there is a promise that I will always be protected and taken care of.

 
So obviously, training camp was a time of huge growing for me. Not only did it open up my eyes and heart for what breaks God’s heart, but it helped me become more bold and courageous in my faith. If the Holy Spirit is in me and with me, then my words have life in them! My actions are powerful! There is no reason to be embarrassed or ashamed that God loves us endlessly, Jesus died for us, and the Holy Spirit is always there! That is great news!! So, my team feeling empowered by all of this truth decided while goofing off in Target, that we should pray there too. No, we didn’t invite anyone with us or “save” anyone in the electronics department, but we just prayed. We prayed out loud. Shouting praises to our God for all of the amazing things that he had done in our lives.

 
 
Now, I can bet that many people walked by staring at us like we were some of the weirdest people on the planet. But for every person who walked by thinking we were insane, I have to think that another person wanted that kind of faith and relationship with God that we had.
 
How cool is that??
