If I had to compare my life right now to any book or movie it would be the Hobbit.
(And my inner nerd is released)
Here I am comfortable in my Hobbit life. When this giant man comes bursting in telling me to go on an adventure.
Training camp started out like that first dinner party with the dwarves.
Surprised by a group of people who are loud, have no personal space, are not shy about bodily functions, and are ready to go on this adventure I am not so sure about. I was a little freaked out.
I was surprised by TC. It truly was an unexpected journey. God took crazy experiences and situations and turned them into the most unexpected blessings.
Getting lost in the woods turned into the perfect bonding experience for Q-squad.
Not showering for 4 days turned into realizing my beauty in Christ.
A simple hug turned into an embrace God had been waiting for me to accept for so long.
Words of loved spoken over me turned into uncontrollable sobs of joy for being a daughter of the King.
My Hobbit journey through training camp continued with battles in the dungeons of my soul, battles for forgiveness and acceptance, battles for truth and belief. At times I felt like I barely made it out, gripping on to a barrel floating down the river.
But the whole time I was surrounded by a group of people who loved like I have never experienced before. Q-squad is my family. I would do anything for this group of people and I know they would do the same for me. Living in community has a whole new meaning now. It's more than a small group meeting once a week. It's meeting one another right where you are, in the dirt of your lives, and loving unconditionally. It's more than sharing a meal it's sharing life. It's hard to return to normal life, and that is only after a week with these people.
(Team Untamed Passion. The wonderful group of ladies I am blessed to spend the next year with)
What a crazy unexpected journey it was.
I was challenged in areas I had never been challenged in. (prophecy, healing, and feeling the Holy Spirit.)
I was put into situations that stretched me and brought out things in me I didn't know existed.
I came into training camp scared out of my mind, unprepared, and lacking excitement.
I left training camp loved, equipped by the Lord, and more excited about God and the World Race then I have ever been. My life is changed. I am ready for him to use me to expand his Kingdom.
What adventure is God asking you to go on? It is going to be unexpected, but that is when God does his best work.
I still have so much to learn and experience on this journey the Lord is taking me on.
Will you help me continue? I need $2000 by June 17th in order for me to leave in July with Q-squad.
