Training camp…..I’m still trying to process it! I haven’t quite figured out how to put into words what training camp was like, but I’ll do my best to try to sum it all up for yall! Sorry if its a little all over the place.
This is my amazing squad before squad wars, which we won by the way! Go Dub!
I knew in leaving for camp that it would be the end of a person that I used to be and the start of someone new. The start of a new life with new people, a new mindset, a new way of living, just a new everything. Experiencing something new was the only expectation I had, and I got that and so much more. I got my whole world rocked.
I never knew that sleeping outside would become normal. I never knew that only showering 3 times in 9 days would be acceptable because everyone else had showered the same amount or less than I had. I never knew I could become so comfortable around people that I had only just met. I never knew that i would love 57 people so fast and trust them all so much. I never knew that in 9 short days i could be completely broken down and transformed. I never knew I could discover so many things about myself that I had never known until I had to be stripped of all I thought to be true. I never knew that standing on a chair and making declarations over myself and my family and countries could be so powerful.
Training camp was the start of a new life. It was the start of new friendships, and a new lifestyle. I met strangers who I now call my family! I was introduced to the idea of sleeping outside in a tent, and now (even though I love my bed) sleeping inside just feels kind of strange. I found a burning fire inside of my soul that is ready to go and set nations on fire for the Kingdom! I watched people become transformed from normal to radical in only 9 days! I felt something get stirred inside myself by the fact that I was surrounded by people who were after the same thing I am, people that only want to bring Heaven to Earth!
But more than all of this, I have fallen further in love with my Father! He has chosen me, and though I still can’t figure out why, I know that this is exactly where I am supposed to be! Something clicked in the woods of Tennessee that ignited the dull flame that was inside me and made it a blazing fire!
This is my lovely team, Team Qodesh (Kadesh)! The word Kadesh in Hebrew means Holy or set apart! I love them all so much and I can not wait to see them all again in 1 month!!! They are all so awesome and they have hearts that are truly lead by the Holy Spirit! Can’t wait to do work with them this year! 🙂
