A time of squad debrief has been in effect for the last several days. Our coaches and mentor have been here in town, and we have been able to talk, rest, uplift, and connect with the entire squad. We rested our bodies, uplifted our spirits, and renewed our minds, all to prepare for more ministry.
We basically had five days of physical rest, only taking long hikes and walking everywhere, with optional morning workouts to keep our bodies healthy as well. I was able to get just enough sleep each night, not getting too much and becoming groggy all day, or too little and sleeping through important times activities of the day.
Having gone through the last two months only seeing parts of our full squad, coming together for times of worship and fellowship was a huge morale boost. We were able to hear testimonies of Father’s greatness, hug and pr*y for each other over trials, and spill our guts with individuals. We could process and decompress with the help of our squad brothers, sisters, and leadership.
As a squad we renewed our minds by worshipping together, and having sessions in the evening to talk about specific topics of interest. I renewed my mind through simply sitting at the Son’s feet in quietness and writing down all the thoughts that can into my head.
Overall, it was a wonderful break and true time of rest, both to process the last few months, and to prepare ourselves for the next few months.
