For my last job, I packed up my things on a weekly basis. I got in my car and drove to the airport or drove to my next location. I went into the hotel and checked in with my Hilton Gold Honors express check in. I got annoyed if they didn't have my water and snack waiting for me… I had a second set of everything in my suitcase so I basically never had to unpack anything except for clothing. I had everything down to a system so I never lost anything except a teddy bear once in Michigan…
Packing for this trip is different. The bag seems smaller than my suitcase (even though it's not). I keep second guessing my supplies. Some days I wake up and think, "I'm set," and then minutes later I have 100 new things in my head that I need (which I don't actually need). I bounce between excitement and anxiety every hour or so. My room is an explosion. And now that's stressing me out too! And training camp starts on SATURDAY!
But I am so thankful to everyone that has supported so far, so grateful for my teammates, so humbled by this opportunity, and so in love with so many people I have yet to meet.
God, I pray that you clear my thoughts and focus them on you. I pray that you ease my anxiety and help me to be still. I pray that you do the same for my squad mates that are feeling the same anxiety. I pray that you continue to show up and show off in blessing our fundraising. I pray that you continue to bring us closer and closer and help us to cherish our time together at training camp. I pray that you remind us to cherish our time at home with friends and family this week and the weeks following training camp. Help us to keep our focus on you and help us to stay encouraged. Thank you for everything. 🙂
Amen.
