As the first week comes to a close and the second week begins it just gets more and more insane. My love for my squad is unbelievable, these people have become so close in such a short amount of time. I really couldn’t see myself doing this with anyone else, and we are only going to grow closer as the months go on.
I would be lying if I said that this first week has been easy, its been extremely difficult in ways that I was not expecting and kind of blind sided me. But through these struggles I’ve had its only brought me closer to the Lord. It has been a lot to process and I’m still in the process of that as they gave us a lot to take in and within the next 3 weeks of training that’s only going to grow. But I also know that it is only going to help better my understanding of the Lord and push my desire for Him. I think that being around other people who are here for the same reasons I am has also put a lot into perspective for me and really opened my eyes.
Each little bump that I have only grows my love and my intentionality for the Lord, everyday my relationship gets stronger and closer with Him. This is definitely something that I never saw myself doing and to be honest didn’t really want to do, but now that I am here I know that this is exactly where I belong and I am not supposed to be anywhere else. I don’t know what to expect within these last 3 weeks in Georgia but I know that it’s going to be so good and amazing.
I’m so glad that you are discovering great things in yourself and can focus on those when things get overwhelming. You are creating a lifetime of wonderful growth and memories. Be safe and know that you are covered in prayer from those back at home. Many blessings and many hugs!
