“Do not worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for what he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard you hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”
-Philippians 4:6-7
To all of my followers,
I am soon to finish out training camp and I will say it has been a long week. For the sake of time, I am just going to touch the surface of the week and give you a few points.
- This week has been emotional…. A lot of God opening up my eyes to my faults and insecurities, but also how valuable I am. From things to: dealing with the loss of my dad, past relationships, family, and who I am as a person. I have never cried so much over the time span of three days as I have in my life.
- This week has been challenging……. Realizing what the heck I actually signed up for (which by the way I am overly excited about). What my role is in what I signed up for. The idea of community and living with a new “family” for eleven months. Challenging both physically and emotionally.
- This week has been real……. My eyes have been opened to how “fake” I really have been…. Little harsh.. maybe.. but real. This week has opened up my eyes to where I actually am, spiritually and as a person. Its proved to me where God wants me to be, and he has provided me opportunities to get there.
- This week has been unbelievably amazing…… It’s blown me away seeing this week play out. I came with so many expectations all which were thrown away the first night. I came here not knowing anyone, but am leaving with a new family of 48 people. I have seen God show up in ways I would have never imagined and seen him prove how big he really is, even though he didn’t have to.
Gods done so many great things this week, but his work is just beginning. So I leave you with this….
“Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”
-Philippians 4:8
