God set me free.
I was set free in a cabin, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of a group of people that I hadn’t known for more than a couple days.
My heart was healed while worshipping with strangers who loved on me, laid hands on me, and listened to my testimony but didn’t think any differently of me.
My mind was renewed while basking in the presence of my Savior and being spiritually fed.
My baggage was too heavy to carry on my own and I realized that God wanted to restore everything that had been stolen from my life. I closed my eyes and got intimate with God and asked Him to replace my heartache, disappointment, hurt, and unforgiveness with His love, compassion, and grace for the people that I had hated for so long. I cried out to Him and in that moment I felt my chains being broken, my life being transformed, and my heart being healed.
Feeling God move at Training Camp was life changing!
I learned:
- Grieving is an important process to healing.
- By remembering God’s grace for me, I can choose to forgive those who have hurt me.
- While we are going through periods of brokenness, if we draw closer to God and are compelled by love we will learn to be dependent on Him. Dependence is where our faith grows and God becomes our source of hope. (Matthew 10:19)
I also learned:
- Putting up a tent really isn’t that hard
- 47 strangers can become your family overnight (A Squad! Represent!!)
- Chicken strips and Dr. Pepper make me happy.
Who would have thought that one week in the woods of Tennessee would change my life so drastically?!
I’m pumped for Launch in January!
Whoa!
