There is so much to be said as I sit and process the last 10 days of training camp. As most of you know, from October 17th- 26th I was in Gainsville, GA at the AIM headquarters undergoing World Race training.
I could start by telling you about multiple people being healed, others receiving the gift of tongues, how in awe I am that I took cold showers with a hose, doing push-ups in the mud (lol), camping and wearing the same clothes for days. But really…that’s not what it was about. Its funny, a year ago, the face value of those statements would have been my entire focus, but not today. Its not about a little sheltered California girl getting rocked in that way, its about me getting rocked for Jesus. Its about 54 other people and myself realizing that Christianity is not about “signs and wonders”, its not about wearing your sundays best or being shunned for saying a four letter word…it’s about raising up a generation that is fully alive in Christ. and knowing our true identity as daughters and sons of God!
This blog is about being raw and truthful and exposing exactly what I feel to you. My intention is not to produce a well tailored summary of my trip, my intention is to tell you the reality of where God’s grace took me and how I couldn’t have done it without Him! Throughout my time in Georgia, I experienced high highs and low lows, my comfort haven was ripped out from underneath me, I fought continuously with God, I cried and threw in the towel! After multiple team building exercises, inner healing messages, getting the crap in my life to surface, and so much more my eyes were opened just slightly. I am not going to pretend that I went to training one person and now I am a completely renewed perfect woman, but I will tell you with complete confidence, that I am totally a mess now! HAHA. Close your mouth, its a good thing. Some junk in my life has surfaced, its preparing to leave and not bind me anymore. Its like a cleanse, during a cleanse you don’t always feel very good because your body is releasing so much junk, but in time, your body will be much cleaner and healthier than before…..thats what is happening in me.
As I continue to process more I will fill you in, but for now, know this. I don’t try to pretend that I am this perfect Christian now (and nor will I ever), but I do know that God created me as HIs most precious daughter that He loves so much. I do know that being alive in Christ is true freedom, a freedom that far extends my wildest dreams. I know that “I may approach God with boldness, freedom and confidence” (Eph. 3:12) and this past week was just a glimpse into how amazing that is!
I love you all and cant wait to share more with you!
