What is this place?
What am I doing here?
Do I even belong here?
These questions rotated through my mind several times the night we first arrived at training camp. I had no idea that what I was about to experience would be THE most intense spiritual transformation any individual could imagine. Growing up the way I did I had never experienced "spiritual gifts" or heard much about them. I came here with the idea that I would have to hide it if I were uncomfortable with people around me speaking in tongues or prophesizing or sharing any other gift and that there was a specific standard of either a connection with God or a level of spirituality that someone had to posess in order to be propheisized about or recieve a spiritual gift…Then I found out that God uses ALL of us for his purpose.
Never in my life has anyone ever prayed for me in tongues or prophesized about me and where God is calling me or what He is calling me to be..until now. After this week, my only thoughts were Father, if you see me this way, if you truly see me as WORTHY of your love and of your gift, if you truly see me as the STRONG person that you say I am, then I will accept it humbly and use it for your glory, and for your glory, alone. These thoughts have now invaded my mind.
How great is my God!
How I love my new brothers and sisters!
All glory and honor and praise to the wise king!
This experience has been unlike any other. I am so blessed to have to have the opportunity and ability to be here and to honor and praise the living God with such amazing people.
My biggest THANK YOU to all of my supporters (prayer and financial) this experience would not have been possible without you! Thank you thank you all so much!
