Training Camp. Where do I even find the words? It’s been an intense couple days, and we’re not even done yet. Never in my life have I seen the Holy Spirit manifested in such an incredible way. Meeting all 60+ squad mates, and finally putting faces and personalities with the names has been incredible. I have never met so many people and felt so close in just a few days. God has been moving in our squad already, bringing us to such a place that only He is capable of. Seeing the Holy Spirit and God do some major damage restoration in my team and the other squad has also been powerful. Personally, the biggest thing He’s had to do work on in my life was my expectations. I entered training camp/the World Race with expectations I didn’t even know I had. The fact that I had to be willing to give them up in trust that what God has planned is far more important and awesome than anything we could plan. AH! Yes, I am. God is a Good God, and He knows so much better than I where I should be and what I need to be doing…whatever that takes. Take a moment and think about that…it’s a crazy surrender. Prayer update: I was really concerned about food at camp/the World Race. I am a SUPER SUPER picky eater. I have eaten EVERYTHING put in front of me this week. Holla! Back to my title…my world has been broken, but only because God has to come in and fix it up correctly, which He is definitely doing this week, and will continue to do throughout the 11 months of the race. And…the shoes I wore to camp, shoes I’ve had since my junior (?) year of high school (7 years), are falling apart. Every time I look down there’s another piece hanging off the bottom. At least my bag will be slightly lighter coming home. 🙂 More will come after I return home, but my time on the computer is up. Thanks for your prayers and support! You’re definite God-sends. And here is a picture of me eating chicken grilled over a fire at our camp out! yay!
