Training Camp begins in 3 days.
In three short days I will be waking up entirely to early ( and making Jessica do the same. Love you girl!) to board a plane to travel to Georgia to meet the people who I will get to experience the next year of my life with . Since “meeting” these people on Facebook a few months ago, they have already felt like family, and I have been counting down the days until I get to meet them.
And now it is here.
If you know me at all you know I’m a planner. I like to have a plan for everything. I make lots of lists, like to keep things organized (except for my room, for some reason I prefer that more of an organized mess). In preparing for this trip, and more recently Training Camp, I have been pouring over previous Racers blogs looking for things to look forward to. I was looking for a way to make a plan on how I would approach it. Honestly, I was looking for someone who was going to post the itinerary for Training Camp. Another list I could live by to feel like I had control over the situation. So I started looking for blogs. Looking and looking; and you know what I found.
Each person has their own reason why they won’t reveal too much about what happens at Training Camp. And each time I read their reason I just began to panic more. Honest moment: I am scared to death about what the next week of my life holds. I have one fear after another, and have had to push down every excuse that has come up as to why I shouldn’t go.
As I was on Pinterest today I came across this Beth Moore quote
And with that I was filled with peace. I am not going to Training Camp alone. Not only will I be surrounding by my new family, but I have God by my side. I will not be surviving camp, it will be HIS strength that gets me through it because this is the journey HE has places me on. Do I still have my fears? Yes, they are still there. Is the control freak inside of me still in panic mode because I have no idea what is going to go on? Yes. But that is the wonderful thing about my Jesus. I don’t have to have all the answers, I just have to know HE has them and have faith that He’s got my back.
