Bucket Showers–It’s Better Just To Drown

I took my first cold bucket shower on June 3, 2016. It was actually quite nice, except I felt clean for about two seconds. Naturally. Georgia is hot, and tents are not air conditioned. And neither are port-a-potties. Things are sweaty and messy. It’s not pretty. As I walked into the AIM headquarters Friday, my soul was carrying weights that I did not allow myself to realize. They asked us to release them. They asked us to free our hands of anything that was not of the Lord so He could fill our Hands. I have encountered the Holy Spirit many times in my life. I asked Him to speak to me...

He was always scribbling his red, grading pen on every flaw I possessed (Dramatic, right?). Though I would never admit that to anyone, my actions told of my feelings.
