Wow, what a week! God is so good.
This first week of training camp has been full of learning, growth, and so much of the Father’s love. I’ve gotten to experience the Lord speaking to me in new ways, and it’s been such a gift to have intentional time every day to really dig deep into His Word.
We’ve covered so many powerful topics. Such as, hearing God’s voice, repentance, building our identity, forgiveness, and the beauty of Sabbath. Each day has stretched me in new ways and drawn me closer to Him.
Outside of that, life here has been such an adventure. I’m sleeping in a tent, soaking up community, and actually loving the flow of not knowing what’s coming next. On top of that, I don’t have my phone which has been surprisingly freeing. It’s given me space to be present with God and the people around me.
Some highlights of the week were team-building activities, hammock hangs, and our house visit scenarios. In groups of three, we got to “visit” different countries and practice what it might look like to be on the field. It was eye-opening and so much fun to imagine how God could use us in those situations.
We ended the week with Sabbath, truly resting with God. I realized that doing laundry on Sabbath is definitely not restful (dipping my clothes into two buckets of hose water one with detergent and one regular water then hanging them to dry just for it to rain) so that will not be happening again! The rest of the day I spent time watercoloring, worshiping, in the hammock, and just being with friends.
And the best part? I now have 31 new best friends that I get to walk through these next nine months with!!
And for everyone back home jump in the warm ocean for me!!
So proud of you and excited for all the new you are experiencing!! Love you
Ok I’m crying with tears of joy! I look forward to your next lovely writing! I love you! HUGS
