As training camp approaches just 3 days away.. I can’t help but be excited.
WHO KNEW?!?
If you asked me even just a month ago if I would be ecstatic about camping out in the heat with only a tent, sleeping pad, and sleeping bag as comfort, I would tell you you were insane for even asking.
But, I. CANT. WAIT.
I’m a city girl, I definitely don’t fit in the Texas cowgirl/outdoorsy girl stereotype. I’ve been camping once in my life, and it was in a comfy camper with air-conditioning with friends, and to be honest, I HATED it.
So why do I love the idea now? Why do I get so excited about buying camping gear? Why do I seem to spend all my time pitching my tent in my backyard? Why do I walk around with a 70 liter pack filled with gear on my back for fun?
GRACE… that’s why.
I may not love the idea of waking up sweating each morning from sleeping outside in the heat, or having to take numerous “bucket showers” because there is no other option. But, I LOVE the idea of waking up knowing God is going to do something BIG that day, and ignoring the uncomfortable circumstances because the people around me show love in way that I had never experienced before.
SO here goes nothing.
I’m so ready to leap out of my comfort zone and meet God in a BIG way in a few days. I’m so expectant for what is to come in these next 11 days as I meet the people I will be traveling and ministering with.
…and the journey begins!!
