This was a word God gave me at Training Camp.  I have much to say about the actual training camp…but this is where I'm going to start.

God Speaking:

Erin I've been with you every painful step, every memory recalled, every truth that has seeped into your soul.  And what you will take away this week is not even a pin prick of what I want to give you as a free gift…because I love you.  I choose you, you surely are mine, and I will be your God.

Baby girl…I give you permission to not be so hard on yourself.  I'll teach you how to better love and care for yourself because I first loved, created, and died for you.

When I was dying on the cross I had you on my mind and there isn't a day since that I haven't noticed you, held your hand, or smiled in your general direction.  Daughter you have my heart, would you give me yours…all of yours…and not just that but all your trust, your plans, and dreams.

You had your ankle, age, and what you see as limitations…I gave you these challenges because I know you are capable of much more in Me.

So let yourself off the hook.  Find new ways of seeking me and finding me and Baby girl surely you will not be disappointed by my love, my will, and hope for you.

Now dance…dance and smile like little Erin used to…let loose and just enjoy Me Erin.  I give you permission to just be you.  You are fearfully and wonderfully made.  I just didn't have time to do anything less than awesome.  Keep your chin up and don't forget to laugh…its good for you!
