I knew Training Camp was going to be hard for me, the thought of giving over control of an entire week of my life to strangers freaked me out. I am not the girl in the crowd that starts the dance party or rallies the troops, strangers make me uncomfortable, and I've been independent for so long the thought of not making my own choices wasn't appealing to me at all.
What I didn't know was being uncomfortable was just what I needed, that stretching myself in every possible way would bring tremendous growth. I didn't know these strangers would be my family in a week, that we would laugh, cry, share joy and victory. That our weakness would be exposed and our strengths made even stronger. That I would be shown over and over and over again why going to the nations is what I was made for. That my Faith in God would increase, that any doubt I had about this journey would vanish and confidence would be restored.
In one week I saw change, lies that were believed for years were brought in to truth, insecurities were abandoned in a Chapel in Georgia. In one week Love took over and captivated us all. I went from being an insecure introvert to dancing like a fool in one week, I can’t imagine what freedom will come in a year!
The power of God fell on us and the response was beautiful chaos. Healing happened inside and out and perspectives shifted. I believe each of us left Georgia with new eyes to see the world through.
