It is hard to put into words the last week of my life.
I entered a community of people that instantly felt like and became my family, that I am having some serious withdrawals from, and whom I miss each morning when I wake up alone.
I found freedom in vulnerability that I have never felt.
I felt convicted about things I had been suppressing and not wanting to deal with.
I was reaffirmed that this IS the call God has on my life right now. That the unsettled and antsy feelings I had back in July were for a reason. That when I was asked why I was going on the Race, my response of “God is calling me to get uncomfortable” was 100% correct.
I saw first hand that when I speak words out loud I either GIVE them power because they are true and from God or I TAKE AWAY all the power from them because they are from the devil.
I saw the Holy Spirit work through my squad in ways I have never experienced and in ways I am beyond excited to experience more.
I realized (not sure why it took me so long) that God today is absolutely, 100% the same God He is in the Bible. He gives His power, wisdom, and discernment to people in the same ways He did 2000 years ago. Healings are real. I had words spoken to me and my squad mates that could come from NO ONE but God!
I was once again reminded that there is freedom from religion and that a relationship with the Creator of the universe is all that matters. And I saw others released from the prison that is legalism.
I saw people (and I was definitely one of those people) dance, cry, laugh, sing, and praise the amazing God we get to call Father.
I was placed on a team of God fearing, loving, incredible women who I have the privilege of calling sisters. And like I told each of them, I may not feel like it is right, right now, but I KNOW it is not wrong. The Lord ordained this team, and I will fight for it everyday.
Most of all I FELT the love of our Abba Father, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and indescribable wholeness that comes from the Holy Spirit.
This is Team Gladiators!
Go love on my teammates! Lindsay, Jackelyn, LeAnn, Naomi, and Lindsay!
