11 days that left me exhausted physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
11 days of meeting with Abba over and over again and learning about His character.
11 days of walking hand-in-hand with my Creator and letting Him shatter my heart. Letting Him pick through the broken pieces and break down walls. And allowing his love to overtake the corners of my heart that were bitter and wounded.
11 days of seeing Him in the 46 people I get to do life with for 9 months.
11 days of tents, bucket showers, porta potties, foreign food, constant sweating, and freedom.
Training camp!!!
Each day of training camp was both exciting and challenging in its own way. My time in Gainesville,GA was never mundane or boring, that’s for sure!!! Now the countdown to Swaziland begins (6 weeks!) 🙂
MEET MY TEAM
(5 girls I’ll exclusively be doing ministry with for 9 months) (team joy!!!)
from left to right- Lilly Tarantino, Liz Slager, Julie Rogers, Sophie Ball, Colleen Davis, and me!
This picture explains our relationship pretty well. God knew exactly what he was doing when He handpicked each of us to be together! So stoked to share the next 9 months with these Jesus loving sisters of mine!!! So many genuine laughs, tears, and Jesus moments to come.
