I danced my butt off at Training Camp.
No joke.
And lemme just say, I am not the best dancer.
But when you are in a room full of people who are going crazy for the same reason as you, you kinda can’t help it. In fact, I still can’t help but dance.
Lemme just tell you a little bit about the ten days I spent in Georgia.
I walked into it very nervous and super unsure of what the heck I was doing. As I met my teammates, it was… well… awkward, to say the least. I was very self-conscious of what they might think of me and how I should act and what I should say.
That changed in a couple hours.
We all gathered in a room to worship and have our first session. As soon as the worship started, I was pretty sure I had entered into a totally different realm. All of these people were praising the one who created them with absolutely no restraints.
It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
As I finally let go of my fears and pride, I found that I was swept away by the feeling of His great love, mercy, and grace. I praised God like I never have before. I cried out to Him in all of my doubts, I sang my soul out for Him to hear, and I danced for Him.
During the ten days of training camp, I experienced God’s great love in some of the most amazing ways. Whether it was a teammate rubbing my gross feet after I had mentioned that they were hurting, hearing the Holy Spirit speak to me through a teammate, or just singing His praises and hearing the truths wash over my tired soul, it was beautiful. I cannot tell you how many times I cried during those ten days, because of fear, or faith, but I would not take a single moment away from that experience.
I fell in love with each of my sweet teammates as I watched them serve and praise God with all that they had in them. It was so sweet. I wish I could properly explain the feeling that this kind of community brings. I am so excited to get to experience more of it in less than 45 days.
I cannot wait to continue to dance with my squad. And lemme tell you, F-Squad can break out some serious moves.
Psalm 150
1 Praise the Lord.a]”>
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness!
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
4 praise him with timbrel and dancing,
praise him with the strings and pipe,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals!
6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
