Well just as the title says, I am headed to training camp. As I write this it is the night before I leave. I won’t lie, I feel very nervous. I’ve gone through the packing list about 10 times and yet I still feel like I am missing something. I’ve read all the emails about it, and yet I still feel unprepared. I get to meet my squad for the first time, I will also meet my team, and I don’t know if I’m ready for that. It’s one thing to talk to someone over the internet, but it’s another thing to meet them face to face.
I guess I’m really nervous because as soon as I set foot at training camp this all becomes reality. I don’t know if I’m ready for what that brings. The reality that I will be gone for a year. A year without family. A year without all of my friends here at home. A year away from my room and my bed. A year that I miss out on is what it seems like. A year at home that I don’t get to participate in. It’s a harsh realization for sure, one that I’ve been putting off. At the same time I’m excited. I know it’s gonna be a great year, even if the only great thing is that God grows me. Although I believe it will be more than just that. I know God’s out to do great things, but at the same time He’s also calling for a big sacrifice.
