Training Camp was preperation…a time to be Unsettled over and over and over again…and it served its purpose. I think God likes His kids to be Unsettled in the respect that He wants to always challenge, stretch, shape, and change us to be more like Him…to shock us out of our comfort zone more times than not…get us to think…wonder…wish…but I think all of us can say…sometimes its also necessary to breathe in and out and just rest in God…which has been a bit more what the week AFTER training has looked like.
In remembrance of our crazy week….
Unsettled
Saying hello, and see you later
A plane, a train, a car, a bus
Up the hill, down the hill
Pack your pack, unpack your pack
Leave a pack, share a pack
Heavy pack, heavier pack
On a tarp, off a tarp
Going in circles, a market square
Take a chair, leave a chair
Utensils, no utensils
Shower, what’s a shower?
Bugs, and more bugs
Schedule, what’s a schedule?
Individuals, really big squads with matching t-shirts and tutu’s
Music, worship
Sedimentary, active
Exercise, stretching
Health, injuries
American portions, 3rd world portions
Igloo’s of water, Nalgene’s of water
Sun, rain, cold
Physical muscles, spiritual muscles
Silence, having a voice
Listening, hearing
Unprepared, a little more prepared
Anger, acceptance
Awake, falling asleep
A tent, wilderness, a bigger tent, a bus
Out of place, having a place
Acquaintances, family
Snoring, snoring even louder
Paranoid lil’ packer homie, a less is more packer homie
Bathroom breaks, breaks behind a tree
Dirt, caked in mud
Fresh, not at all fresh smelling
Nerves, excitement
Questions, more questions
Letting go, letting more go
Crying, and crying, and crying some more
Breaking, breaking FREE
IT IS FINISHED…TRAINING CAMP
