Coming into camp I didn't know what to expect. I thought it to just be about team building and finally getting to find out exactly what I will be doing on the field. Instead I found myself starting to understand my reason for being on this trip. I thought I knew my reason. I was wrong. I laid down my past an picked up my future, refusing to let my focus be on anything but my future in Guatemala. I found an answer to a question I've had for a long time. How do you hear from God? What does he sound like? I got my answer. A very loud and direct answer. We spent a night speaking truth and life over each other, this shook me to the core. His voice became clear with direction and encouragement. I was able to say things that had meaning and power to people I didn't know. I was a little freaked out. With this I understand my future, I know what to listen for, and I'm ready to lay down my plans for God's instead. Guatemala, I hope you're ready!
