This blog has taken me a long time to write because I needed a lot of time to process after training camp. Also, I’m just really bad at being on time with things. The biggest thing for me at camp was meeting all of the people I am traveling with. I’m not very good with technology and I don’t really like talking on the phone so trying to connect with people without getting to see them face to face is hard for me. I loved meeting my squad, our coaches, and our squad leaders, mobilizers, and coordinators. I love my team and I’m excited to get to know them better as well as the rest of the people on my squad.
As far as the rest of training camp goes, I got some stuff out of it but I didn’t have a huge spiritual epiphany like many other racers did. I was frustrated that I didn’t, but after talking with one of my squad leaders, Erin, I realized that I was comparing myself to others rather than letting God do something specific to me in my life. Also, God has put the word persevere on my heart this summer. I think that continuing to follow God whole heartedly regardless of feelings or epiphanies will lead me to what I need most. I just have to trust God that his way of doing things is better than any plan I could make up. In the end, I would say training camp was a good experience with a lot of laughing, crying, meeting new people, loving the new people I met, being stretched, and learning a lot about myself and the world around me. A perfect preview to my next year!
My Team!!!
