My Dear Daughter,
You are about to leave the comfort of your home and the safety of your friends to experience something not many people get to do. Training camp is going to stretch you in ways you can’t even imagine. There are going to be times where you feel really uncomfortable…physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Embrace those moments. I have an incredible plan for you and it can only happen when you allow the walls you’ve built up to break down. The people around you want to be there for you and love you- let them.
You have to let go of your pride and past hurt to let me in. I want to heal you. Don’t stress about what you need to pack…let go of your need for control. What you forget, others will surely remember. I am in the process of blessing you with the family you’ve always needed. Right now you think community is a scary thing, but it’s for your good. The people around you will lift you up and point you towards me.
By the end of the week I will have wrecked your heart in the best way. I will show you who I am and who you are in me. I am not someone who keeps track of your wrongs and rights and I don’t love you more on the days you spend time reading a chapter of the Bible. I love you unconditionally. You are more than enough. You are beautiful. You are my daughter. I want you to live life open handed so you can give and receive freely. I want to bless you. I want nothing more than for you to walk in freedom. This is how I created you. I have given you my Holy Spirit to not only guide you, but to encourage others. Be brave when I ask you to speak to others. You have everything you need to do that.
This week you will learn you don’t need others to fill the places in your life that only I can fill. Stop looking to others and start looking to me. I am who you need. Trish, let your guard down and let me love you and lead you. This is going to be the most incredible season of your life. Trust me.
Love, Papa
