This past month has been the craziest month of my life so far. God has called me to so many new things. With this God has also called me out of so many old things. He is in the process of breaking me down to my core. Taking away all the things I hold dear in order to build me into the person He wants me to be.
My dad said it best, it’s like I’m in boot camp.
Its like I’m in the Army.
In the U.S. Army’s boot camp they take everything from you to build you into the person they want you to be. They take away all previous training to train you in their ways. They destroy you.
Right now I am being destroyed, so that God can rebuild me and train me in His ways.
God has taken my family, my church, my dog, my future, and my friends from me, but just last night He also took my fear. Fear of what lies ahead in my life. Fear of the unknown. Fear of the death of a loved one while I am gone. So much of me was consumed with fear I couldn’t even see it. It wasn’t until my squadmate Kristen was able to acknowledge what God was saying to her and she had the courage to come to me and tell me what God needed me to hear.
I am the most uncomfortable I have ever been, but I am ready for more. I don’t know what lies in store for me, but I do know that I am ready to join the Army. God’s Army. I am ready to be remade. Are you?
Where is God leading you? Is there something God has called you into or out of, but you’ve said “No” because of fear? Let God take your fear. Let Him take your hand and lead you in His ways, into the life He has imagined for you. I can assure you it will be more than you could ever dream. Trust him. Join His Army. He wants YOU.
