I feel like I keep putting off writing this one because I don’t know if I can accurately explain what happened during training camp. It was such a life changing experience.
I came to camp feeling pretty heavy and I left feeling completely free. It’s the most free I’ve ever felt.. like NO LIE. Every time I explain to my friends what happened at camp I say, ” Dude, God cut that junk off.” I probably should rephrase that next time. In order to bring freedom that Christ offers to the nations, I myself have to be free. Things that I thought I was responsible for, sin that had started taking root in me, and my fear were all chopped off at the foot of the cross. He took my box of shiitake mushrooms and smashed it. He also whispered in my ear and told me that I’m beautiful, His thoughts for me outnumber the grains of sand, and that his love for me is unfailing. Yes, I’ve heard these things before, but have never actually felt the heat of His breath on my ear.
Staying free is a bit harder than I had imagined, but that’s when standing on top of your bed and declaring God’s freedom over yourself and calling out the enemy’s lies works wonders. I seriously just did this 10mins ago.. never felt better.
I think one of the most important things I learned this past week was that God speaks life and that any thought that is not life giving is not from Him, and through this I’ve learned how to speak life to people.
I cannot tell you how psyched/amped/pumped I am for this trip. In fact I may have just double fist pumped or even moonwalked across the kitchen floor. God is going to use each and every one of my squadmates to bring His Kingdom to this earth in supernatural ways. I REALLY BELIEVE THIS! Speaking of my squadmates, they are awesome! I feel like that adjective is too overused to describe them. I’ve never seen a group of people more passionate in my life. These folks believe that OUR GENERATION can END human trafficking!
I know that ended abruptly but no worries there is more to come about my incredible team, Wellspring, and some details for the trip. Stay tuned!
Again, thank you guys for supporting me. Your prayers and texts throughout training camp were off the chain and incredibly appreciated. $3,000 for this trip to become reality! Love you all!
