Week one of training camp is finally complete and God has been doing some radical things!! Coming into this group of people last Saturday with only profile pictures to identify us from WhatsApp, to feeling like we have already been together for months this weekend, has been unreal but also so amazing! This type of community with such joy, fellowship, and love for each other is unlike anything else and can only be found through Christ. We have already had so many great conversations, laughs, and swing dance lessons. Considering how close we are after only eight days, I am so very excited to see what God has in store for this fellowship within our squad and teams over the next nine months.

My heart within the past week has radically been changing and growing. God has helped me open my heart to Him, and shown me things within my heart I didn’t even know I was holding within. He has put words to my unknown feelings and has given me the strength to open my heart to Him.

One of the biggest things He has shown me this past week is His spirit. I have had the Holy Spirit within me almost as long as I can remember, but I feel like this week the spirit has been excessively overflowing my heart and it’s unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. I felt the spirt in my day to day life coming into training camp, but feel a renewed spirit within me that has given me so much joy and happiness. Both Friday and Saturday night I could not stop jumping and physically felt the spirit within me. I had so much love and joy for the Lord within my heart that my body was physically exerting it.

I have so much love for W squad and the Lord. Thank you Jesus!!
