Lord
is it safe.  I’m nervous, I don’t
know what to except.  What if I put
one foot out and just test it. 
Will that be okay.  I just
don’t want to be wrong.  It seems
safe but its definitely not what I am use to.  Wait Lord I see a hole.  I can see really good from here, Lord just let me stay here
until I feel comfortable.  I have
already given so much of myself. 
You asked me to step outside of my comfort zone.  Well I have met 60 people today
Lord.  That was definitely outside
my comfort.  You want more of
me.  I know my prayer has been to
stretch me.  But Lord how much can
you stretch me in this box I’m in. 
You want me to get out. 
Lord I don’t know if I have the strength to do that.  These people that I have met.  They worship different then I do, they
prayer differently then I do, their passions are different then mine, they
actually admit that they are scared but they are willing to face that.  I think I will be so much safer in this
box.  So you are telling me this is
all new to these people to.  Well
Lord I can’t see that.  Trust
you.  Lord I am trying. I know you
are so much bigger then this box. 
I am just terrified. 

            If
I could sum up my thoughts at the end of this week then those words would try
to put justice to them.  I started
my week at training camp terrified and overwhelmed and left camp terrified and
overwhelmed.  But leaving I wasn’t
confined like I was before I came. 
I have found freedom in Christ.

            There
are so many situations this week that challenged and strengthened me that I
would love to share with you.  But
it would be a never-ending book. 
So I want to leave you with a question.  Are you peeking through a hole?
