This week at training camp has been the most amazing week of my life. As I began to get comfortable with my W squad I could tell that I was surrounded by one of the greatest communities of believers I had ever been a part of. It didn't take us long to feel like the family we consider ourselves to be now. However, I knew in the back of my head that this wasn't going to be a cakewalk.
I experienced every possible emotion you could think of during this week. I felt broken, scared, lost, and confused. I had unknowingly put God into this little box where He used to do miraculous things but not in this day and age. While I sat through our teachings and worships God began to bust down the walls of that little box. I knew God was showing me just how BIG He really IS; He was preparing me so that I could abandon my home to go and do His will for the nations. Never would I have thought that I needed to be broken in order to grow for His kingdom. But this was a brokenness like you’ve never experienced. Imagine looking under the hood of an old car and seeing the corrosion developed on the terminals of the battery and a mechanic methodically cleaning those terminals with a steal brush, its gonna hurt! But when he is done cleaning that battery can then provide energy for the whole car. That’s how I felt at the end of the week; God had used a steal brush to clean the corrosion of my heart and yea it hurt at first but once He was done the Holy Spirit was able to energize the rest of my body and soul. I began to be filled with joy and happiness that couldn’t be contained. This was the point were I knew my walk with Christ would never be the same, and I couldn’t be happier about it. So here’s the tough part. Have you placed God in a box? Are you willing to be broken to experience the growth God has in store for you? I can promise you that you won’t regret it. “On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul.” Psalm 138:3
