My training camp is just around the corner! It truly feels almost unreal now that this training camp is so close! Since back when I was barely accepted in March I was amazed by the World Race blogs and videos that I would see and read. And I didn’t think that the time would pass as quickly as it has. And I am now, just 3 days away from the day that I will fly out to Atlanta, GA to meet my spiritual family!! My O squad!! The people who I will be traveling and ministering with on this amazing journey next year!
I have tons of feelings as I’m writing this! I am happy that I will finally get to meet these amazing young men and women whom I’ve been texting,talking and sometimes video chatting with!! My amazing brothers and sisters that have already been there with me when I’ve needed them the most. They have prayed with me and for me, they have prayed for my family when I needed it the most. They have already showed me so much love and I haven’t event physically met them yet! They’ve been my family already! And I am grateful for each and every one of them!
And we will start this amazing journey at training camp! Ohhh this famous training camp!! We have heard so much about it! And as much as we have heard rumors of how it will be, we won’t know until we actually will get to experience it for ourselves!! On this training camp I will have my heart and mind open to God!! I am asking God to work in my life and do what He has to do to prepare me for what’s to come! I mean, I hear that this training week is the hardest week of this journey!! Like it’s really supposed to be really hard physically, mentally, and spiritually. And that sometimes people don’t make it through this training camp if the staff from Adventures In Missions may not feel that the person is ready to leave on their race. That is a scary thought. But I trust in The Lord that my life is in His hands and He has called me for this mission, so He will be the one to help me through it all!
My training camp will be from October 11th to October 18th and I have to pack like I would be leaving to the actual race. I’m taking my tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, my backpack, my all! And what is crazy is that I haven’t packed all of this just yet!! Lol I know, I know… procrastinator! But I know that God will be nice enough to give me the patience and help to get it done!
But what I have been trying to prepare is my heart. I say this, because I’ve been asking God to make me sensitive to His word, sensitive to what He has in store for me and the rest of the squad.
Would you all be so kind and support me through your prayers??! Help me by praying for me and for my team mates of O squad. Let’s ask God together to break any chains in our lives, to restore whatever has been broken, to strenghten relationships, to give us His identity, to help us open our eyes for what breaks His, so we can have His love to share with others, so we can love on to people around the world the way that Jesus loves them. Let’s pray that we may be used as His vessels, that we may shine God’s light in all we do, and that God’s name may be glorified through everything that we would do.
Would you please help me and pray??!! The prayers of the righteous are powerful!
I thank you for your constant love and support! May God bless you all! And know that you too are in my prayers! Thank you for continuously reading these blogs and going on this journey with me! May God bless you!
With much love;
Jhacky
