We’ve been here for a week and I’m just in awe I get to live this sweet life.
The first couple nights were rough not gonna lie. I woke up and just wondered what the heck am I doing here. I couldn’t sleep in my tent and really just wanted a real shower. But as the days went on, I slowly started to enjoy it more and more. Now I love it so dang much. Everything is so simple. We celebrate the little things like the vending machine being restocked or getting to shower 2 days in a row. We turn in our phones during the day and it’s so nice to just be away from everything.
Our days look something like this:
8 : breakfast
9 : devo – we have an hour of reading/praying and just sitting with the Lord
10 : worship
11 : teaching – it changes every day who we hear from, every week has an overall theme, this week was intimacy with God
12:30 : lunch
1:30 : rotations – either showers, laundry, games or workouts depending on the day
5:30 : dinner
6:30 : team time
Saturdays we have nothing scheduled except meals so we can just chill and it’s so nice. Sundays we have church and a different team leads church every Sunday. This Sunday we all dressed up and the team leaders led church. They gave us cookies and coffee!! Literally everyone was so happy. It’s the little things haha
This week the Lord has been teaching me about true friendship with Him. I’ve always viewed God as a provider, creator, or all-powerful, while all of those are true, He also humbles himself to be friends with me. I’ve heard this at church a million times, but I never really thought about or understood it until this week.
The Lord wants to be legit friends with me, like hang out and laugh and have fun kinda friends.
Then I started thinking about my best friends and my relationships with them. When I’m bored I want to be with them. I never get tired of being with them. I feel completely myself around them. I tell them everything. They encourage me and support me. I replaced every time I thought “them” with God and my mind was a little blown. How awesome is it that I get to be best friends with the creator of the universe!?!?
I seriously can’t wait for what the Lord’s going to and has already done here in Gainesville, Georgia! Love and miss yall so much!!
