Today’s the day everything becomes real – well, almost. As I sit here, with the scatter remains of items that simply refuse to fit inside my pack beside me, I can’t help but look at the ticking clock and wonder what on earth I’ve gotten myself into. In just 2 short hours, my travel buddy will arrive and together we’ll hit the road, Georgia bound.
Training Camp bound.
I’m both thrilled and terrified at the same time.
- Thrilled because I get to meet my squad.
- Thrilled because everything’s really happening.
- Thrilled because it’s a trial run for the real thing.
- Thrilled because we learn who’s in our teams (the squad is broken into teams of about 5-7 people, each team spreads out across the country upon arrival, doing ministry in different parts of the country)
- Thrilled because this is something I’ve dreamed of for years.
- Thrilled because I know training camp is going to be the start of something life changing.
So why am I terrified?
Money. Honestly, that’s the only thing that has me stressed out here. Trusting God to provide $16k isn’t easy. BUT $4, 820 has already been provided!
But that’s not quite enough, and that has me sitting here with a knot in my stomach. In order to attend training camp, I still need $180. And believing God for $180 when time is quickly ticking by — isn’t an easy thing to do. It’s no longer days — it’s HOURS away.
And still, I’ll be hopping in the car here shortly, and driving to Georgia with the full expectation and belief that somehow God will provide the $180 I need BEFORE I arrive.
Why?
Because I know that he told me to go, I know that this is my squad, I know that I need to launch in August.
So despite the knots in my stomach, despite the devil telling me I’m crazy and that the money’s never going to show up, despite my funding status reading under $5,000 — I’m still going. I’m getting in that car and I’m going to prove the devil wrong.
Please pray about supporting me financially. Every single gift counts. $5 could make the difference between being funded and going home. There’s no gift too small that God can’t use for his glory. So whether you have $5, $10, or even the full $180, every gift counts.
THANK YOU!
