I’ve been home from Training Camp for about a week now and I’m still having a hard time putting the experience into a blog of words. If I had to choose one word though, it would be intense.
The introvert in me walked into a group of 200 new faces at the airport and was immediately overwhelmed. We had to be awake and ready to exercise with our squad at 7am every morning. It was cold – really, really cold. We were fed foods that normally I would want nothing to do with. We were taught messages that I had all heard before and once again, I had a choice to make – to face things that were holding me back or to be proud and act like I have it all together.
It was physically, emotionally, and spiritually stretching.
It was what we chose to make of it.
And Saturday all I kept thinking was, “What did I get myself into?”
Here’s the thing though, God led me to this place for a reason and when I looked past all of the situations that were stretching me into uncomfortable places, I found myself in a place of releasing expectations. I found myself in a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about God and seeing the END of Human Trafficking come in our generation. I humbled myself and let go of past guilt and shame. I found myself no longer listening to the lies of the enemy, but listening to the truths God speaks over me. I began walking in FREEDOM. I found myself knowing who I am, because I know “I Am”.
That is what I got into!
…this is what I got into!
