The World Race is finally reality… as there is only two days left of training camp. The last week before training camp was chaotic as I moved out of my house, said goodbyes to many people I love, worked as the school clean up guy, and went line dancing with some awesome friends in Pit Meadows, BC. I definititely overcommited myself and was just running around like a mad man, but it was all good… it just meant that I didn't think much about training camp and didn't read much about it… just showed up expecting it to be something like a church retreat.
Training camp hasn't been anything like I anticipated… but I have been broken, inspired, been made weak, been restored, and have seen the spirit work in squads of men and women who are going to bring the truth wherever they go. I have already figured out that my life this next 13 months will not be comfortable, restful, or relaxing(and that is alright). We have been fed enough(but not up to my standards), we have hauled our gear all around the camp, we have been put through different tests and trials so that we may unify as a squad of brothers and sisters in Christ who God has called to do amazing things in his name.
Some questions that I have asked myself these past two weeks?
1. How many things do I really need to accumulate?
2. How stuck am I(or you) on your routine(like coffee in the morning or more than enough to eat… does not getting these things wreck you?… can you handle not getting everything you need?)
3. What truth is God speaking to you about who you are and how He has empowered you through the spirit?
