"God's not dead, He's surely alive. He's living on the inside, roaring like a lion!"
Let's be real. (they said this a lot last week, and I love it!) For anyone who loves me right now for who I am currently, thank you and I love you too! I just want to give you a heads up now because when this girl boards her first plane to Bulgaria in July, she's not coming back the same. So, if you don't like change, embrace it. Because that's what you'll see from me. So, there's your warning. Take it or leave it. (Although, I hope everyone takes it 
).
Ok, so this week was totally so not what I expected. It was so much more! I know it was one of the hardest, emotional weeks of my life. God is seriously at work in my life right now preparing me for this next chapter in my life. He is breaking my heart for what breaks His. I believe every single racer that was at training camp last week felt God show up and broke each and every one of them in some way. I know He broke me, literally DOWN, and all that came out were tears. He held me the entire time. The rest of the week I felt different, super sensitive to hearing others' stories and for His people.
***If anybody doesn't think God is working in the world, I encourage you to please follow my blog for the next year because I want to show you differently!***
No details of the living or food conditions, just know that it was tight and interesting, definitely prepared us for what we will face on the field. As far as the spiritual part, God showed up! And I mean in big ways!! He is so joyful when we sing His praises, He laughs, He heals (and did at training camp; one deaf, two celiacs', and mutiple back issues), He loves. Declarations were made. Declarations of freedom of taking back our lives and giving them ALL to our Father! Oh, how HE LOVES! He has set the army. He has prepared them for battle.
The soldiers of the Lord are ready for battle. And only one victory can be won, Love. God's love.
I cannot wait to see what God has in store for my G-squad and I. Trust me, you will not want to miss out! Stay tuned! 
"OOOH I FEEL SOOOO GOOD LIKE, I KNOW I SHOULD, OOOOOH I FEEEEEEL SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD!! OOOH I FEEL SO G LIKE, HE SET ME FREE, OOOOH I FEEEEEL SOOOOOO G!!!!
