After I heard these words I couldn’t stop thinking about them. They brought me joy, but also put things into perspective. When I heard “you will not longer be the same at the end of this two months, but you will be wrecked for the ordinary” so many things went through my head. How am I going to be wrecked for the ordinary? What even is ordinary? What does this require of me? What does this mean? I couldn’t stop thinking about this simple but powerful statement, but it’s already proving to be true.
Over the past 4 days of training, I can already see God beginning to wreck me, and I can only think about how two months from now I’m going to be beyond wrecked. In the past four days alone I have learned how much God actually speaks to us, and I have heard him. I have realized that God has chosen me for this trip, for this team, and for a reason. It’s amazing to see how united our team has become and how much we laugh together and how much we have truly become a family that is so focused on God and united in love. I hope to become so wrecked and changed by the end of this journey that I bring truth to everyone around me, and that my only satisfaction is from the Lord. Pray that this time wrecks us all, transforms us all, and that we never go back to ordinary.
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2
