Week 3, Where I’m meant to be!

This week has been quite a week.

Full of change, endings, and new beginnings. Today we packed up for North Carolina and wrapped up our last day of training camp—for now. It feels strange to leave behind the place that’s been home for the past three weeks and step into something new. Honestly, it feels a little “homeless,” like I don’t have roots anywhere at the moment.

But God—He’s been so gentle to remind me that He is my home. That the community He’s placed around me is also home. I’ve been reminded of Ruth 1:16:

“But Ruth said, ‘Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.’”

What a bittersweet truth to experience alongside God and my team.

Every week, God brings a new lesson. He’s been breaking down walls I didn’t even realize were up and healing places I didn’t even know were broken. This week has been about letting Him heal my heart—taking apart the messy pieces I’ve tried to tape together and rebuilding me the way He designed.

A few nights ago, while wrestling with Him over a question, He said something so simple but so powerful:

“Sometimes I delay the physical healing because I want to bring healing to the heart.”

How often do we focus on the outward things and ignore the inward? Yet God isn’t just after behavior change or outward fixes—He wants our hearts. Not our work, not our performance. Our heart.

But heart healing requires repentance. Repentance that says, “Lord, I want to grow. I want Your will. I want You.” He never holds back from us—so why do we hold back from Him? Why do we keep certain parts of our hearts off-limits, when those are the very places He wants to heal and use?

All He needs is a yes.

Open your heart. Let Him heal. Let Him correct. You don’t have to keep carrying pain He’s already offered to take and restore.

So as I’ve been asking myself this, I’ll ask you too:

Will you let Him use you, teach you, stretch you, and heal you?

Here’s the truth: you have purpose. We all do. Purpose straight from God, given to us for His glory. He’s called us to go out and make disciples, to carry His light into the world. And He’s not only called us—He’s equipped us. He walks with us, teaches us, and gives us boldness that can’t be shaken.

There’s a fire in us.

Carry it.

Let Him heal you.

Let Him use you.
