Training Camp.
Words don’t do it justice
It’s INSANE.
It’s exhausting.
It’s raw.
It’s real.
It’s BEAUTIFUL.
It’s AMAZING.
I tried to take the whole “no expectations” thing as seriously as I could, and I’m glad I did. I wasn’t sure what to expect, and I kept my imagination pretty limited prior to getting there. SO WORTH IT!
Training Camp.
The week that strangers became family.
The week I had my first taste of living in 24/7 community..I loved every second of it!
The week I realized the beauty of really living in the moment..it was so awesome!
The week God completely blew my mind!
The week I saw Him heal someone right in front of me.
The week I worshipped, and I mean REALLY worshipped. I danced, I sang at the top of my lungs, I cried, I smiled, I laughed, I reached my arms toward Him and He hugged me.
The week I really accepted my identity as His princess.
The week He spoke to me (through squad leaders and squad mates)…I mean really spoke to me..about things that none of them would’ve known mattered so much to me.
The week God told me why He made me so tall! Being “17 feet tall” means SOOO much to me now! (something that happened last October, and God used one of my awesome squad leaders to speak truth into my soul at training camp to shine truth onto that statement..)
Did I tell you I danced? Well, not sure if you can call it dancing exactly…
Anywho… Training Camp.
The week my awesome “tan line” wasn’t actually a tan at all.
The week I slept under stars!
The week I semi-conquered my fear of spiders.
The week I took my first bucket shower.
The week I understood, first hand, the truth behind the statement, “Baby wipes are your best friend”.
The week I realized even porta potties are a luxury.
The week I learned that I DO NOT want or need all the stuff I thought I did.
The week Team Relentless was formed:
From front to back: Carlie, Sara, Meg, Claire, Misha, Mollie, and Me.
I’m so looking forward to doing life with these ladies next year!
The week I felt such freedom and boldness in Him that I wanted to make a memory I would never forget…I got my nose pierced! My team went with me! Sadly, it snagged out while I was sleeping, but there is a lot of sentiment behind why I got it, and plans to get it re-done are under way…this time my mom and cousin want to come with me!
Oh, it’s also the week I found my tent buddy! (Mollie)
Training camp was awesome! God blew my mind.
It was such an amazing experience.
I danced (or whatever it was)! Can you tell I’m excited about that one? 😉
I learned so much about my Abba that I hadn’t really experienced before. I loved being so intimate with Him, and I want to do nothing but grow more in that intimacy.
I got to see the super, awesome Jeff Tyner, and what God has been doing through Him.
I left feeling so free.
I left feeling a 110% confirmation from God that I am right where I am supposed to be.
Thank you, SO MUCH, to everyone who has been a part of this amazing journey and to everyone who has supported me. I’ve already gained so much from this. I am so grateful!!!
