I’m Home

It been a hot minute since my last blog post but I am so pumped to share what God has already shown me and taught me in these last few days after arriving in Georgia for training. I think the title is kind of a give away but its the best I could think of while I write this. 

During the couple days leading up to flying to Georgia I definitely had so many thoughts and emotions flowing through my system, but one thing I wasn’t expecting was the transition. I mentally was trying to prepare myself that I would be leaving my hometown for awhile, and leaving behind a lot. I still didn’t feel like I even knew I was leaving the day before my flight which is normal for most people I’m sure. 

The two nights leading up to my travel day I was asking the Lord to prepare my heart for leaving home. In those prayers I realized I didn’t even feel like I was home anymore. I know, I know that sounds harsh but it’s definitely the truth. I knew that it was my physical home, it was where my family and friends were, and where I lived, but I felt like I was sleeping in a strangers bed. My heart and my Holy Spirit already knew this was not my home anymore but just a house to stay at for the time. 

Fast forward to my first day in Georgia, I just flew in a few hours ago and was heading towards the camp/campus where I would be staying for the next 3 months. On the shuttle I was taking a quick moment to pray and ask the Lord to help me not stress in this new environment I was in. Instead of responding to my prayer He did something greater. He showed me what real peace felt like. I was embracing the King of Peace for crying out loud haha. I was in awe sitting there knowing in my mind and heart I was getting closer to Him and in that He gave me the satisfaction of meeting my wonderful, amazing, God fearing squad that have become family to me. I love them like no other, the Lord hand picked us for this journey, and now we get to unite in His love to pursue his kingdom.
