Welcome to the TTToT series!
Over the next few days I’ll be sharing what each truth means, some funny and some not so much.
Either way, thanks for allowing me to go to training camp and have my life radically altered by Christ more in just a few short days than I’ve allowed Him to in my entire life!
10. Turns out that even though you like taking as many showers as possible each day, sometimes your lucky if you get one between 2 days. Lake bathing is totally legit.
For anyone who knows me at all, you know how much I enjoy hygiene. I have been known to take up to 3 showers a day, I know it’s a little ridiculous. Anyways, this week was definitely interesting when it came to hygiene. At first I started with 2-3 showers a day, if there was free time, I was showering. Then a couple days passed and everyone was like, “Oh, I went swimming the the lake…YESTERDAY..so I’m fine.” I pretty much stood there slackjawed. But eventually I learned that we all smell together, and it’s a beautiful aroma. In fact we decided that very funk that was blessing our nostrils was the funk of Jesus.
Fast forward 4 days into camp when I had my first lake bathing experience. I’m not gonna lie, it was joyous. I whipped out my shampoo, body wash and loofa and went to scrubbing and everyone else got word that I had the “good stuff,” aka the only stuff. So it became community bathing time! Everyone passed around all of the shampoo and body wash, (don’t worrry, I didn’t share my loofa, it’s a little too personal if you know what I mean) and we all had a new funk for Jesus!
I’m not gonna lie, I think He preferred the new funk to the old, I know I did.
So, next time you go to the lake, just take some shampoo and body wash, grab your loofa and razor and feel free to offer it to other people. You never know if they have some funk to get rid of too!
