“Anxiety is a result of envisioning the future without Me….
Do not linger in the future, because anxieties sprout up like mushrooms when
you wander there. Remember the promise of My continual Presences: include Me in
any imagery that comes to mind. This mental discipline doesn’t come easily, because
you are accustomed to being the god of your fantasies. “

– “Jesus Callingâ€�, Sarah Young

This was part of my devotional the first morning of training
camp. It blew my mind that God prepared in advance the exact words I needed to
hear on this exact day. In the days before “Training Camp 2.0� anxiety had
overcome me. What if it was just like last time? What if I got that “I can’t do
this� feeling all over again? It had been less than two months; was I ready to
try this again? I left there the first time with all these negative feelings
about the World Race… could those negative feels be replace with positive one?

In all honestly, I was angry at God after what happened in
July.

I felt like screaming “You lead me there and then you left
me! You left me when I needed You most! You saw me in confusion and pain and
You did nothing! How could You love me and do that to me?!?�

And now I feel like the Lord has responded by say, “I NEVER
left you. I just needed to get your attention. I wanted to show you that I had
something better for you. This was the only way.�

Training camp was better than anything I could ever have
asked for. Words cannot describe how
radically different things were this time around. I don’t know if there has ever been
a time in my life where I was so sure that I was pursing God’s will as I was at
camp. It was amazing to see how God used the negative things that had happened
just two months before for good; things like that usually take years to see.

I have an amazing
squad, an incredible team and a fire inside of me that is just getting started…
