FREEDOM
I arrived at this world race training camp in Georgia over a week ago not knowing fully what to expect. In fact my first night sleeping in the freezing weather in a tent I thought ” What did I get myself into?” that quickly faded as I dozed off to sleep. I tried my best not to have expectations coming in and I’m glad I didn’t because each day took me by surprise and allowed me to experience God in new ways. If I had to sum up camp in one word, I would choose FREEDOM. I came in not realizing I was being held captive by some things in my past, the major one was the spirit of Rejection which occurred from my parents divorce when I was fifteen years old. I never knew so many things in my life were a result of this spirit of rejection still in my life. When I heard the speakers talk of this, I immediately knew this was the major thing in my life that had been holding me back from stepping into the man I KNEW God was calling me to be.
The Holy Spirit and some amazing people here at AIM who prayed over me and spoke some incredible truth into my life during my time here at camp. I was able to let go, and be FREED from that bondage. The feeling was incredible. A huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I felt a new spirit of power and freedom reside over me. I feel more confident now to begin to take steps towards the man God has been calling me to be, to take up the position of leadership in my life that He has been preparing for me this whole time.
I am excited to see how God will continue to draw me closer to Him as I get back home and prepare for leaving my family, friends, and life for a year to set out on this world race. I have met some of the most amazing people here at camp, they are beautiful inside and out and I am excited to share this journey with them over the next year as we see God move in ways like never before. I can clearly see now why God placed this World Race into my life, the other racers, the staff, the experience has already brought so much restoration in my life, broken the chains of bondage, and allowed me to be FREE and now I can confidently go home and live that out.
I’M FREE!!!!
