Hello my beloved's! As you know this past week I attended training camp in Gainesville Georgia, so many beautiful things happened in a week, I don't know where to start. But in all the process I have learned that I'm not alone in this journey, from all the prayers, donations, and encouragement, God has taught me the real meaning of agape love and unity. 

I have never been on a plane before so the fear of the unknown was definitely there, God allowed me to ride with beautiful encouraging friends to the airport, they spoke so much love and life in me, that it encouraged me to not fear and trust in God, the plane ride to training camp was nice and smooth, praise God! 

Next meeting the team, anxiety crept in, I had many thoughts running through my mind will I be accepted, I'm the oldest on the team, how will I fit in, I got to the Atlanta airport and they welcomed me with open arms, I felt accepted and loved! I had an awesome time getting to learn and know each one of my team members, it felt like we had known each other for years, God is so wonderful!

The hardest part of training camp was Mount Yonah Trail a 4.2 mile 1,489 ft hike we had to climb all the way to the top, with our backpacks, my backpack was about 30 pounds, we started up the mountain, I begin to breathe hard and harder my legs got weak, I cried, sweat was pouring into my clothes, and eyes, I started lagging to the back of the group, I wanted to give up, and we was not even halfway up the mountain, I stopped and said "I'm not gonna make it up." and Mrs Darla our coach stepped in and said you will make it and she began to speak life into me, I also had prayer warriors back at home lifting me in prayer to make it up this mountain, the group stopped and waited for me, one of my teammates took my day pack and carried it up the mountain for me, God opened my eyes to see the love that each and every one had for me, when we got to the top of the mountain I for got about the pain, I seen the beautiful view, it was breathtaking to see the glorious view that the Lord created, it was worth the pain. The Lord put transfiguration in my spirit, transfiguration means-a complete change of form or appearance into a more beautiful or spiritual state, God transformed my thinking, opened my eyes and gave me a new mindset! I MADE IT TO THE TOP!!!

If you are facing a mountain in your life, yes you might sweat, cry, get tired or even feel like giving up, But God is with you through every step of the struggle He will never leave you or forsake you!

And the Lord, He is the one who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed." (Deuteronomy 31:8)

The last transfiguration the Lord did in me was during my baptism, I was fighting with Him I wasn't gonna get baptized, but God said I need to because, when I do I will be laying down the old me and starting a new journey in Him, So I obeyed and got baptized, I felt the power of God fall on me He gave me a new tongue language and broke some things of me!!! 

Training camp was a life changing experience, I know if God can transform me in a week. It just amazes me what He will do in 11 months!!!
