These were the first words I hear someone yelling at me while I'm walking around the Atlanta airport trying to get my bearings. It was the beginning of a life-altering week that is called "training camp". It should also be known as "God wrecking your life in the best way possible" camp.
As with many of my fellow x-squad members, I find it difficult to adequetely not only describe my TC experience, but to get it out of my head and heart in a way that other people don't immediately think "hmm…this girl is crazy!" Though on the real, I don't care if you think I am crazy. Maybe I am, but the Lord has captured my life in a new, intense way, and I want to share that.
From the first moments of meeting my squad mates to the chaos that is leaving camp, God revealed many truths about Himself and about me that I thought and felt were unreal or unattainable. I am His Daughter. Repeat that: I am God's Daughter!
Never before have I experienced such an intense time of people intentionally and genuinely pouring into my life, including but not limited to our leaders, trainers, coaches, and fellow squad mates. I am beyond blessed and truly honored to have met these people, and though God can do what He wants, last week would have been very different if I was surrounded by a different set of people.
God taught me about healing, grieving, worship, and being empowered by the Holy Spirit. Last week the Holy Spirit became real to me. It blows my mind now that I wasn't actively in relationship with the Holy Spirit in addition to Jesus and God.
I am pumped and so very excited to go. My God is bigger than anything that is coming my way or that I may be apprehensive about. What I am striving for daily is to let the control of my thoughts and actions be not mine but His.
I am also trusting in His provision. I'm not fully funded, but I'm trusting in Him. Please, consider supporting me financially on this journey. You can do that here.
What I desire most for anyone reading my thoughts is for you to talk to the Lord asking Him to make me see Him in the next year of my life. That I would be ever willing to be moved by Him to reach people for His kingdom.
