Location: Manila, Philippines
For our first week in the Philippines we have been spending most of our time in training. You may be asking yourself “Training for what?”, to which I can only sincerely respond to with “Only God knows”.
Our squad has been blessed with an amazing set of coaches who will be discipling us throughout our eleven month adventure. Lisa and Gary Black have been doing some amazing, and intense teachings during our week of training that are already stirring our squad up a ton. They speak truth, and it makes me nervous.
After the first night Gary spoke, I approached him and shared with him a little about my heart. This is what it looked like:
That’s right, lettuce.
I shared that he makes me nervous. Nervous because I know that he speaks the truth, and will be able to see right through me if I am putting up a front. I also told him that when he says what is true, and I don’t want to hear it, I will put up a fight and probably try to defend myself. When that does happen, I told him to keep doing it!
I want to be like a head of lettuce. I want the layers to be stripped away until all that is left is the sweetest, most tender part; the heart. It is then that I will be fully prepared for whatever God puts before me.
