I love the feeling of knowing what expect. I enjoy figuring things out and making good use of all of my time through planning. Therefore, it was not out of the ordinary for me to attempt to gather as much information about training camp as I could so that I could prepare. So I proceeded to pour over blogs, talk with my squad, and even call former Racers in an effort to piece together exactly what to expect at camp.
Well it felt like the more I asked, the less I knew, and the more nervous I became. Needless to say, there were quite a few ‘What have I gotten myself into’ moments leading up to Camp.

The entire week was filled with God breaking down my expectations and perceptions and causing me to fully rely on Him.
I learned how to live without a schedule, go a full week with only two showers, conquer my fear of killing spiders, re-open myself to a new group of people that will become my family, and remove my restrictions and expectations that I had placed on God.

If God can do all that in only a week I cannot wait to see and experience all that He will teach me over this next year!
Before training I was nervous and unsure about the calling He had placed on my life. Though there are still more unknowns than I can count, I have a renewed sense of confidence and trust in His faithfulness to provide in ways I cannot imagine.

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
