Leave all expectations at the door. Be intentional. Be bold. I am a daughter of the King. I'm dancing on my chains. Jesus HEALS. Jesus SPEAKS. These are just a few things I have discovered this past week during training. Oh how there is so much to tell…this miight have to be a series. Actually…decided…this WILL be a series. A series combining each part of training camp from the meals to the squad to the living situation to the sessions. I will cover it all…don't worry I won't reveal too many detials for you future racers that haven't experienced this life altering week yet!
I will start with one of the funniest and crazy moments of this week for me. I'm sure a lot of you are probably wondering, "Why is the title of this blog 'Harry Potter?'". This is a very easy question for me to answer if you believe in the power of the Lord and prophesy.
Can I just say how much I truly love and adore J SQUAD. Seriously such an amazing family to be a part of! Within the squad we are placed on teams (no surprise). This is our immediate family where as the squad is our extended family (hope that makes sense). There are 7 of us on the team and there is a team leader to lead these teams out on the field. The Lord has humbled me and called me to the role of team leader, which I could not be more FIRED UP about. Through various activities we got to experience how we work with different people on our squad to see which personalities really connect and compliment. During our second to last activity I thought our team had formed, but man does God just blow your mind sometimes! That night we were with our squad doing an exercise about phrophesy. We had the opportunity to ask the Lord for words, visions over different members of our squad. I stood in front of one of the men on our squad and he had his eyes closed and placed his hand on my shoulder. He began to smile and then he opened his eyes. He looked at me and said, "I don't want to tell you…it's going to sound so stupid." I told him, let the Lord decide, you never know. So he told me the only words that were coming to his mind were "Harry Potter". Of course I began to laugh, but then I said, you know what…trust in the Lord maybe He will reveal this at a later time.
The next day we did our last activity to discover who was on our team. My entire group was back together from the day before except there was one change. One girl had left and a new one added. This girl, Chelsea, has really touched my heart this week in a mighty way so I was so excited to be working with her. After the activity and processing, our group discovered that we just worked. We clicked in an awesome way! We just knew it was the Lord and knew that He was forming us together as a team. Before we could find out our teams, we had lunch. As we were standing in line talking, Chelsea turns to me and says, "Claire do you like Harry Potter? I just love it." It took me a second to process and then all of the sudden my mind was blown! This man that I had stood before the previous night had listend to God and trusted his word and knew that Chelsea would be on my team. Praise the Lord for the way that He works in each one of us. He reveals things to us that we need to trust no matter how silly or crazy sounding. Speak the words that the Lord gives you. Pray for discernment and trust that He will bring those things to light in His timing.
So much more to come…STAY TUNED!
