He who calls you, is faithful and he‘ll surely do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:24
As time is approaching and I’m getting ready to go on the World Race, there was a slight moment where I found myself asking God a bunch of questions. Am I really supposed to be doing this. Am I qualified enough. Will I get there and end up wanting to come home. What if I don’t connect with anyone. And in that moment I heard the Lord say, “Be still My child. Remember when I spoke to you and how I brought you to this trip. Each moment leading up to now has been preparing you for this. There is no need to question what I have called you to.” Instantly those thoughts went away and I was filled with so much peace. It’s so important to remember first, why you’re doing what you’re doing, second, the purpose behind it, and third, who called you to it. God called me to the World race and I am beyond excited to go and share the love of Jesus with others. I think that’s one of the things that I am most excited about. Coming together with other believers to do that exact thing- share the love of Jesus around the World. We all come from different backgrounds but we all have the same thing in common. We love Jesus, and He called each one of us to this journey and will see us through to the very end.
In just 13 days I will be headed to Gainesville, Georgia for training camp. I am excited to meet my team, learn more, and see what God has in store. When I come back, I will post a blog with more information from camp, and pictures of my squad and teammates, so be on the lookout. In the meantime, please keep us in prayer for training camp as it will be very emotionally, spiritually, and physically demanding. Pray for focused minds and that our hearts would be opened to hear from the Lord. Pray for unity, discernment and that God would fill us with His supernatural strength.
Below is everything I am taking with me to training camp. It’s hard to imagine that this is pretty much everything I will be taking with me for 11 months minus a couple things. One of my biggest struggles I thought was going to be packing. I asked myself, “How am I supposed to pack 11 months into a bag.” But when it actually came time for me to test it out, the Lord really helped me to realize I don’t need as much “stuff” as I thought I did.
Thank so much for reading and following along in this journey the Lord has me on. I am so grateful for each of you and your faithful prayers.
Much Love, Calin
