I don’t know exactly what to tell you all about the past 5 days at training camp in Gainsville, Georgia.  It has been an eye-opening and challenging experience.
 
The thing that sticks out the most to me is TRUTH.
 
Growing up in a Chirstian family and going to a Christian college, you would think I would know exactly who I am in Christ and who He says I am.  I have found out this week that I have no clue what God calls me.  For so long I have listened to the negative thoughts in my head about who I am, what I’m not, who I should be, or what I should do.   It’s so hard for me to recognize that those thoughts do not come from a God who loves, but a devil who wants to destroy.
 
That has been my struggle…then came last night.  We had an amazing service about the works of the Holy Spirit.  Afterward a woman came up to me and prayed with me.  The first thing she said was “Audrey, I don’t know if this will make any sense to you, but God is really giving me the word TRUTH for you.”   She prayed for the past beliefs I had about myself and that those would be broken.   She also told me that she believed I could give TRUTH to the people I meet and tell them who God says that they are. 
 
After last night, my excitment for the trip tripled!! I want to go out into the world and tell the people I meet about a God who loves them so much.  Who calls them beloved.  Who treasures them and calls them His children.
