I’m not exactly sure how to describe my week at training camp or even where to begin. So I will start with this: It was nothing like I expected and it completely blew my mind! I thought I knew what I was getting myself into but I was so wrong. See I have always had God in my pocket and I just pulled him out whenever I needed him & that always worked for me. Well apparently that arrangement was not working out so well for God…So in order to no longer be my God pocket (sang with hot pocket theme song) he completely tore me apart. See I had become a master at the beach ball effect, which is no matter how hard or how long you hold a beach ball under water it will always pop back up in some other way. So God made me deal with grief and fears that I had pushed down so far that I actually forgot about them, although they had been starting to pop back up in other aspects of my life. However, being the stubborn person that I am God had to flood me with everything I have never dealt with a one time. He had to break me down to nothing in order to build me back up into something incredibly beautiful & that is exactly what he did. I cried more during training camp than I probably have in the last 5 years. It was wonderful to finally break down my walls & give up complete control to God, so that he can guide as I become his hands and his feet on this journey. After training camp I finally feel 100% ready to go on the World Race!!
