I AM SO READY TO GO! It's not even funny.
I have to remember to live in the present, that God is using me even at this exact moment to prepare my heart for the WR.
I canNOT wait for Training Camp in July. I'm pretty sold on the fact that I have THE best squad ever. I was talking to one of my squadmates on the phone this afternoon and he said he was so excited because everyone on our squad is so relational. I LOVE IT. Seriously, I love meeting new people and developing relationships with them. I love knowing that I'm going to be doing life with these people for 11 months. I'm ready to meet them in person. Technology is SO fantastic. I love texting, calling, and skyping my squadmates. I love that people I have never met are praying for me. I love the accountability and I love the encouragement. God is on top of things when He puts people on the same squad. I love my fam.
God is really working a number on me right now. Some days I get really down about the fundraising, while other days I'm pretty chill about the whole thing. I know in my heart of hearts that I serve a God who provides. No doubt. I believe that with all of my heart. But then I stare at the 14,278 I have left to raise and it's overwhelming, I'm not gonna lie. Then I think, "well Caitlin, he's already provided you with 1,222 and you're just getting going…" I guess I try to judge how much I've raised with some of my squadmates. I know that's ridiculous. God provides different situations and circumstances for everybody. I've just gotta keep the faith. He is SO MUCH BIGGER than 15,500$. Like for real. We sang "Our God is Greater" this morning at church, and I knew we sang it for a reason. The sermon this morning was about Tension…also perfect words for me this morning. Man, God is so legit.
Sorry for this rambling, not put together blog post, but I just wanted to write about some of the feelings I've been sorting through lately.
Again, I AM BEYOND THRILLED to go to 11 countries in 11 months. LEGGO.

**The first deadline I have is $3500 by July 1. Words cannot express how thankful I am for the donations that have already been sent my way. Prayerfully consider partnering with me in sending me to be Jesus' hands and feet to 11 countries.
Much Love!
