Training Camp (TC) has been over for a while now and I’m sorry that I haven’t updated my blog yet until now. Now you may be wondering what the title means. ‘Is she willing to do what?’ you may ask. Wonderful question!! During TC someone spoke during a session we had about going all in for Christ. After the session I kept thinking if I was willing to go all in. Meaning I would have to give up a lot, just like Peter did when Jesus told him to join Him. Before I came to a final decision I kept asking my self a whole bunch of “What If’s?”. What if I fail? What if I don’t understand? What if I don’t like what God is saying? What if, what if, what if!! During worship He told me to be quiet and to just listen. Not to the music but to Him. Then it clicked. If I just listen to Him and not myself then I will be fine. I just have to have faith and trust Him. It was really hard for me to grasp for a while because I spent so much time on what I wanted and not what God wanted for me. Especially knowing that I am not only being away from family for nine months but I’m also ‘leaving the nest’. I can’t always depend on my mom’s hugs or spending time with my family all the time. I’m growing up, I can’t always rely on my family, I need to rely on Him.
That was the biggest thing that God has shown me during TC. Another thing that He showed me was that I need to not care about how people view me. Especially during worship. I mentioned in my last blog on how I worshipped during TC, this was not how I normally worshipped during church. Before TC I was self conscious of how I worshipped and felt like people would judge me for revealing my heart to God through worship. Then I understood if you truly truly loved God and to glorify Him then you wouldn’t care what people thought of you, only the thought of how much GOD loves you!!
