They weren’t kidding about Georgia red clay dirt. Seriously,
it does stain everything you own. And when you weren’t planning on the cold
days and real cold nights, you end up wearing everything warm you own, and it
all gets stained.
I’m trying to decide whether or not to keep these clothes.
I’m beginning to think that the stains symbolize something. Something different
happened to me here this week at training camp and I’m not sure that I can
adequately explain it.
God is more powerful and scary and loving and wonderful than
I ever imagined. I have seen so much of God this week, and not only in my life.
I walked in here on Friday night not knowing a soul. And that night I met three
incredible friends, buddies, if you will that have been more than a blessing in
my life over the past few days. And as we learned our final teams today, I was
blessed again to be placed on a small team with one of my buddies.
God is good. I keep going back to that. And it has been
amazing to see that in so many different ways, like a hike through the woods,
team building activities, and some serious worship through dancing. Seriously.
God is good.
It really is hard to put all in words here on a blog right
now, when I’m still in the midst of all these amazing people who so clearly
have God in their lives. I have been encouraged and challenged beyond belief
and I LOVE it. I have come alive here and I am free.
* I
would love to talk to anyone who has questions about training or about what God
is doing in my life. I will be available by phone starting Sunday and home by
Wednesday so feel free to call or stop by anytime. Love you all! *
