So, training camp has ended and now I am trying to readjust back into my daily life back at home. I feel like such a different person and training camp was only 9 days. I can’t imagine who I will be when I get back from my 11 month journey with God, but I look forward to meeting him. I know I’ve said this in like ten blogs already, but I feel so free. I really feel like a weight has been lifted from me, and now I am free to explore God in even greater detail.
With that said, it wasn’t easy. Training camp was very hard for me. I don’t know if there was a day that I didn’t question whether or not this was the right thing for me, but I feel like God never left me. At times I felt like he wasn’t anywhere to be found, but I really think he was just letting me come to this place where I was content in him.
I ultimately had to decide that no matter how much fish head rice water soup they gave us, or how many miles they made us walk up and down hill, or even how many expectations I had to give over to God, He was and is worth it. The nights were cold, and the days were long, but I truly feel like God used this past 9 days to get me ready for everything he has in store for me.
So, I apologize that I can’t tell you exactly what we did at camp because it would ruin it for future racers, but looking back, I am so excited that God allowed me to be a part of it. I am ready to go spread his name to the hopeless and be a light in the midst of darkness.
