Lonely.  Outcast.  Socially awkward.  Stupid.  Not humble enough.  Unworthy of love.  Depression.  Anxiety. Alone.  Friendless.  Worthless.
Not talented enough. Not enough.

This is a small sampling of the lies that had been spoken
over our students and that they’d been believing. After grappling with their
stuff for at least 24 hours, today was the day to deal with some of it.

To let go of weight they were carrying and let God have it. To
choose to bring it to God in surrender. To smash the lies and declare new
truths over themselves.  

Truths like::

Worthy. Loved. Called. Chosen. Princess. Righteous. Royalty.
Precious. Compassionate. Enough. Forgiven and freed. Invincible with God.
Capable.  Worthy of love.

 

This is the cry of my heart: that a generation would know who they are in Christ, that they can walk
in freedom and truth, that they would know they are worthy and loved.

I wanted to lead this trip to
the jungle because I wanted to show these students who they are in Christ. It
is day 3, and they are already starting to get it. I cannot wait to see what
happens in the next few weeks. God is working in them so much and I just feel
so blessed to get to be a part of it.
 
In other news…training camp has been going amazingly. I have
clicked really well with my fellow leaders and God has definitely been in the details
in putting us together and giving us the team we have.
(ME and Co-Leader ALANA)
We leave Monday morning
bright and early for Peru, so please be praying for traveling mercies.

Please be praying for a hedge of protection around our
students and us as leaders. God has revealed to us the need to be Amazonian
warriors-to stand in the gap and fight for our students and ourselves. As
always, God is so good because He has been teaching me how to fight for myself
and how to fight for others, so now is the time to be putting it to the test.

I feel so incredibly blessed and honored to have this
opportunity and I am so excited to see what God is going to do in the jungle
and in our hearts.

Blessings and love,

Glenalyn

 I also have managed to have some fun, like visiting the original Chick-Fil-A::
