Okay…
So I’m at training camp and I’ve been assigned to post a blog…I’m still trying to process and receive all the things God is doing in and through me here.  It’s so hard to have to write out my thoughts because at this point they’re all just jumbled together.  I can say that I’ve met every single one of my teammates…FINALLY!  We are what AIM refers to as the G-Squad (woot, woot).  AKA the “Glory Squad” or the “God Squad” or hey I like to call it the “Grace Squad”.  It is seriously by the Grace of God that we all get to join in on this crazy adventure in 7 weeks.  I know me, and I know that I am broken, insecure and completely unsure of myself but that at the same time that’s not who God sees.  He sees me as healed, beautiful, secure and confident in Him.  Even in all my brokenness the Lord has chosen me to represent Him all over the world.  The bible says that many are called but few are chosen.  I’ve been blessed with a burden for the lost, broken and hurting and all God wants from me is to say, “Yes”.  While here at camp I’ve chosen to lay down every burden, every comfort, every bit of my dignity in order to live the life that my Father has called me to.  My answer to Him is Yes…and AMEN. 
 
Sorry if this is ramblings…but its from the heart…I’ll blog more when I get home after a long flight where I’m sure a lot of processing will happen.
 
P.S.  I’m pretty sure I smell really bad, but so do all the other people around me…somehow we still love each other!
