Flooded

  it’s not always a bad thing   I have conquered training camp! These past five days have completely blown me away. My teammates and leaders have become some of my best friends already….and we haven’t even left yet.   Sitting in the airport, I am reminded of all that has happened these past few days. When we arrived at camp on Friday, we all were able to settle into our tents and hang out. That ended up being an adventure. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday were super rainy. All of the tents flooded. It turned out to be the best thing that could happen. We were...

Perspective

I am now sitting in the JFK airport in New York watching the people go by. My team and I just traveled from Atlanta after spending about four days in training camp. I love people watching. I always have. I love making up stories of what the people could possibly be doing/going/meeting. However, I rarely spend any time thinking about the true stories behind the faces. Some have smiles, some are pushing people out of the way, and some are stuck near a plug with their nose pressed against a screen. Yet, they all have a purpose. They all have a reason for being here, whether it is vacation,...

Take the Cap Off

     Tonight I experienced more freedom and peace in the Holy Spirit than I ever have. I have never known His power to be so strong and deep. There’s a part of me that has been angry at God and a part of me that was scared that God wasn’t who He says He is.       He says His word never returns void.

I was scared about praying bold prayers in India for healing and life because...

Unexpected Freedom

Everything figured out. No fear, shame, or sadness. Smile, game face on. But this doesn’t last long. Your boat gets wrecked. Everything falls apart, but oddly feels to be falling into place. Vulnerable. Walls shattered. Tears shed. Healing beginning. The first few days of training camp I was frustrated with myself. I came into this thinking I had a great relationship with the Lord. The more it hit me that I didn’t have this perfect relationship, I felt weak and I wanted to pull away. After a few sessions I realized I had God in a small box that I wanted to control when I let him...
