this blog is suppose to be about training camp, so ill try to make it short and sweet. first i have a terrible fake laugh and you would think that being a server i would have a great fake laugh because you always have a laugh for when someone says something awkward at your table. Have you ever got annoyed of your own laugh, my laugh has been so try hard, and i dont know if its coming from nervousness, or awkwardness, or lack of creativity to carrying on the conversation. Meeting a bunch of new people is so interesting to me and you get to know their stories,personalities, their...

The Good Ole South

As a native California girl, I never thought I would say this, but I love the South. I have had some really good fried chicken and seen some adorable houses with porches and rocking chairs. Chivalry is very much alive and well here. Georgia also enjoys naming everything after peaches, making it difficult to differentiate between freeway exits. Residing in Northeastern Georgia, training camp with the Adventures in Missions has definitely been an adventure thus far. We attend two spiritual sessions a day and participate in team bonding activities. Some of our team bonding...

Using My Voice

Training Camp

2 Corinthians 4:13-15 It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. I've been reminded at training camp that I have to use my voice. I rely so often on saying that I am a quiet girl so I don't have to be the one to speak...

I love the power of prayer and I love how God speaks to us when we are willing to listen. For the weeks leading up to camp, I prayed for repeatedly for close-knit bonds and against the fears of regection or seperation that often come about in large groups. I honestly had a huge fear of us picking and choosing our groups of friends based off of traits we're comfortable with and what we have been used to. The first day in our team talk, we chose the word "family" to describe our central movement as a group. We prayed for love, courage, and unity for each other. We also talked a...

You Give BEAUTY For Our Ashes

Something I have been praying about for what seems like years, is that God will make his love REAL to me. That I won't just say the words and go through the motions, but that I will genuinely FEEL God's perfect love moving in and through me. My prayers have definitely been answered these past few days, and in perfect timing too. My time at training camp has been unlike any other experience. I had no idea what to expect coming here, and honestly I thought it would be just like any other seminar type event. I was wrong. We jumped right into worship on friday night...

Woah

Woah Woah is such a convenient word! If you start to think about it, you begin to realize how many different moments you can use it for. Shocked, confused, in awe, and amazed all represent what woah can be used for. I think that the word woah describes my time here at training camp perfectly. I have been shocked, I have been a bit confused at times, but most definitely I have been amazed. I am amazed how in only four days by how much I have been able to learn about myself and amazed at how 15 people from across the states can bond so easily with each other. People have...
