Get ready for my next few blogs to be all about World Race training camp! It was such an amazing experience that it requires more then one blog about all the different aspects. The first thing I wanted to write a post about is about the events leading up to me getting baptized again at TC. I chose this topic because it was such an amazing experience I need to tell the story while its still fresh in my mind.
About a year ago I started feeling like I wanted to get baptized again. I was baptized when I was 6 but at the time I didn’t know really what I was doing or what getting baptized meant for my life. I knew I wanted to get baptized again but I didn’t say anything about it. I felt like it wasn’t time, I felt like God was telling me “not yet”. I know now why He said not yet, there was changing and growing to be done in me before it was time. Through the 10 days I spent at TC God did the changing and growing that was needed.
On the last night we had squad wars (GO R SQUAD) and baptisms. While the baptisms were happening I sat back, cheering and was just being content in the moment. I had this overwhelming feeling of wanting to get baptized, I was just sitting there feeling like God was tapping me on the shoulder telling me “Its time. Its time” over and over again. This went on for way longer then it should have, the baptisms were almost over I just got up and walked to talk to a leader. I didn’t even feel like it was of my own strength that I got up. I explained it to the leader and she said “Ok, lets go” and we went. It was such a crazy, amazing moment that I don’t think I’ll ever forget. I am so thankful that I had that experience with all my new friends around supporting me.
WE PASSED OUR AUGUST FUNDRAISING GOAL!!!!! I am so so grateful for all my supporters, this would not be possible without their support and prayers. I thank the Lord for each and every one of you! Seven weeks till I launch, lets do this thing!
Much Love, Iz <3
