First Days at The War College

The first few days at the War College have been very challenging, not only spiritually but also physically. I have realized that my spiritual life with God, was not that close. This week at the corps we've had 24/7 (for those who don't know, 24/7 is an entire week of prayer 24 hours a day for 7 days). Which I just experienced for the first time, and I got to be so close to God. I felt as if he was directly talking to me with no interruptions, I think it was either the fact that I was alone with Him, or it was really early, but it felt like I had a one on one conversation with God. 

The past 3 days I've felt God closer to me than ever. I believe that today God revealed to me a calling; God wants me to be a "mother" to the "motherless." It's not that I don't want to have any kids of my own, because if you know me at all you know that's one of the things I am looking forward to when I get married. But I believe God is calling me to show his love to those who have never been loved, even before they were born. 

As I continue my journey in the War College, I feel as if I am getting stronger in the Lord, each minute. Prayer is a really big part of my life now, and I know it has just been only a few days. But now I realize how powerful prayer is. 

To those reading,

I send a blessing from the War College, and if you are feeling the calling please don't fight it, just follow it!
