FREEDOM

I am finally going to be free from Maryland.

It has been more like a boot camp than anything else.
In boot camp you find out where your limits are and are stretched beyond them.
In boot camp you work hard as a team for a common goal
In boot camp you find out exactly who is an ally and who is a potential enemy
In boot camp the intensity bonds you to those around you
In boot camp you cannot leave or give thought to the outside world.
In boot camp the rate of learning is fast and intense
and when boot camp is over, it is time for the real service to begin.
Time to apply all you have learned to the best of your ability.
I know I am not able on my own. My life is not my own. I am under another's command.
I have found that my closest friend and best ally is also my Chief of Staff, JESUS.
I have found freedom in the only One who can truly free.
