“Training camp will wreck your world…”
These words were said multiple times during the first few hours of training camp. I thought to myself that other people’s lives might be wrecked but not mine. The first two nights of camp I fell asleep doubting that I should have even been there. For so long this trip has been so far off but this week at training camp it actually felt real. To be perfectly honest I was really freaked out with how uncomfortable, tired, and alone I felt.
To find your life you MUST first loose it…God has something better for you than you do for yourself!!
On Monday July 16th we had a lesson about prayer ministry. At the end of the lesson Dr. Walborn told us to give it a try.
I asked a group of girls from my squad to pray for my right shoulder. [My whole life I have been able to pop it off of place causing major discomfort and pain. Three days before training camp I went to an orthopedic doctor and he told me that I would need surgery when I came home from the trip if rehab did not make it better. ]
The girls all placed their hands on my shoulder and began praying for Stability. Not just stability in my shoulder but stability in my relationships, friends, and family- something I have not had much off through out my life. They also prayed that I would know that the Lord Jesus is ALWAYS stable. He is constantly with you and will never ever leave you!
The more we prayed the more I could feel the Holy Spirit. My right ear began to get really warm and then the heat moved from my ear to my whole arm. My arm started to shake, twitch, and pop uncontrollably. When the girls all removed their hands from my shoulder I tried to move it out of place and I physically could not move it. The Lord literally went into my body and gave me a new shoulder.
He makes all things new.
For 24 hours after my shoulder was healed it did not shake but Tuesday afternoon when I was reading the Bible I stumbled upon a verse in Luke: 10:
As I read this verse my shoulder began to twitch/shake uncontrollably. God was showing me that He will use my healed shoulder to heal people all around the world and to show people just how real He is!! The Holy Spirit makes my arm shake every time that I pray for someone. Jesus healed several more people on my team while we were at training camp. Just like God healed an Army in Ezekiel 37.He is healing us so that we may be His warriors.
I know that the Lord was just giving us a little glimpse of all that He will do through us in the upcoming months.
I absolutely love my squad of 23 people
and My team of 6:Team Rooted!!
I cannot wait to be reunited with them in just 41 days, yep that’s just a little over a month before we depart for Honduras!
