I’m wrecked forever. Wrecked beyond explanation. I suppose I can try to explain. It will most likely be wildly unsuccessful though. Fair warning.
I walked into training camp 10 days ago skeptical, fearful and doubting. I now sit before you a woman of confident surrender to my calling as a kingdom worker. What that means, I’m not quite sure yet. But I do know that this year will be the hardest and best thing I will ever do. The Holy spirit moved in a way this week that I’m pretty confident “normalcy”, of any societal standard, is out of the question for me.
And that’s just the beginning.
Its just the beginning of a lifetime, sold out, for Christ. A lifetime spent: Reaching the nations- Raising up generations of kingdom workers- Loving the margins of societies- continually pursuing and being pursued by the Lord, waking up every morning and saying “As for me and my family, We will serve the Lord.”
A few details from camp (I will elaborate later and give a few of these their own blogs)
• I am OBSESSED with my small team of 7! Our team name is JoHoLo (Joy Hope and Love) we have a dance and everything… were kinda a big deal! Haha!!
• I slept under a tarp with 14 other woman during a monsoon… its gonna be a rough year. But that night held laughter, healing and redemption for our souls. Odd how that works.
• I will be eating very little for a year if the “sneak peak” of our cuisine holds true. You probably wont recognize me when I get home cuz I’ll be emaciated… or ill be crazy fat cuz carbs will be my only food group. We’ll just have to see.
• We asked God for visions of people he wanted us to pray for and then we walked the streets of Atlanta looking for them. We found quite a few of them. When you ask, God answers. Remind me to tell you about Deborah. She was homeless, believed she was in her 5th life and is scared of Jesus because of the (in her own words) “curses put on her by evil things while she sleeps”. More on her and our time together later.
There is SO much more, its actually a little ridiculous. But the honest truth is that if I went on much longer, the majority of you would stop reading. So expect some verbal vomit over the next 2 months as I continue to process and work through all that’s begun to manifest in my life!
I love you.
Thank you for walking this out with me.
