Tomorrow is the beginning.
Tomorrow I get in my car and drive to Georgia. Tomorrow I meet my squad mates for the very first time. Tomorrow is the start of 10 days of growth, love, worship, and adventure with the 50 people I get to do life with for the next year. Tomorrow is just the beginning.
The wave of emotions I have felt today is almost impressive. I never knew it was possible to feel excited/anxious/terrified/elated/regretful all at the same time. The past two weeks have been a blur, non-stop jumping from one major thing to another. Just 14 days ago I was accepted into the World Race. For 14 days it’s been scrapping together gear, clothes, and funds. For 14 days I have barely been able to breathe. And now in 9 short hours, I will be off to training camp. And today, I can breathe again. It’s finally here.
For two weeks, I have been praying for Him to calm my anxious heart. I have been asking for sign after sign that this is the path He wants me to take. I have prayed for Him to prepare my heart, grant me a bold spirit, and to allow to allow me to love with everything I’ve got. Today, I pray I’m ready.
The beginning of my new life is finally here. It’s really happening. Though I’ve done my best to avoid any expectations, this day has been fantasized in my head more times than I can count. The laughter, the tears, the lifelong friendships, the community, the worship. He will be glorified in every step and every breath.
To say I’m excited to see what’s in store would be an understatement. I can’t wait to tell the world about my Heavenly Father, this crazy adventure, and my amazing squad. I can’t wait to talk about how we’ve already all come together to pray for funding, ease of anxiety, heartbreak, and healing. I cannot wait to see how God uses me and my new family to move mountains.
Tomorrow is the beginning, it’s finally here!
