I wanted to edit this post and make it perfect, but i’m not, so I prayed that Jesus would speak to me and give me the words. This is what He gave me.
I returned from world race training camp a few days ago. All the squads launching in October spent close to 11 days together. Truthfully, I did not want to go. I wanted to push through training as quickly as possible and be done with it. After the first day, Jesus gave me a knock on the head and told me to get over myself. Each day seemed so long, even though we were extremely busy. Through out the camp, they would tell us that our pack and tent had been lost or taken and we would share with a friend or make due. We ate some very good and very bad food from many countries that left me on a toilet many times. We also had many great speakers and informative class-like sessions.
Our O-squad (wolfpack) is amazing. It was so cool to worship together, be miserable together, and be happy together. It was shocking how close 44 people could get after 11 days. Close to the end of our training, we received our teams. The people that staff chose for us was so different than I expected. Shortly after, I realized that I had an amazing small grout of people who just wanted to love and serve Jesus. Even though we all have our strengths and weaknesses, I thank God for every one of them.
Many more scenarios and events took place but there is on main lesson I learned. I need to let go of what I think or want and let God take control. It is so much better when we do not fight his plan.
