Just got back from training camp in the beautiful back country of Tennesse, which was amazing!
Training camp was weird for me at first, and second… and third. After encounters with the Holy Spirit my entire experience changed in an instant, and my skepticism came to a screeching halt. I can say with exuberating confidence that I have never been so close to the Lord and my faith has never felt so strong. I came in with my arms crossed and a little hesitant in my faith, to say the least. I left with my arms in the air praising Him and leaning on my faith entirely. My relationship with the Lord has grown exponentially. I met a ton of great brothers and sisters in Christ that were able to help me grasp what it might look like to live in a community setting. I got a little thin, but truthfully I don’t think that’s even possible at my current weight. Worship went from strange and confusing, to amazing and alluring. I was able to let my walls come crumbling down and allow the Lord to come in and take hold of my heart. This was a huge step and a WONDER-full (Yeah team WoNdeR!) experience. There are just about fifty people on the X-squad that I met and became to know quite well, and quite quickly. There were a lot of first times while in the woods of Tennessee and all of them positive. If this is any sort of glimpse of what’s to come I can’t wait any longer. Wrap me up and ship me out I’m ready to start this Race! I’m ready to take off the training wheels and spread God's light over the darkness covering this earth. There is hope and love for these nations, and places in God's kingdom waiting for them. I can’t wait to tell them the good news once we get there. I don’t know yet God's plan for me while over there, but I have never been so ready for uncertainty.
