To put training camp into words is really hard so I decided to pick 6 of the many emotions I went through at camp.
Anxious
Anticipating training camp was very nerve racking. I had no idea who I was going to be spending the next 10 days with let alone the next year of my life with. On my flight to Georgia my stomach was a bouncy house for butterflies. The minute I landed and found the other racers is the moment it all changed. Everyone was so excited to meet each other and it instantly calmed my nerves. Thank you Jesus.
Blessed
After waiting at the airport for like 6 hours we finally got to camp and I got to meet my whole squad. I instantly feel in love with every single one of them. The Lord placed me in the midst of an amazing group of people. Later that week we found out who the team of 6 people we would be with continually in each country. All I can say is I LOVE MY TEAM. They love me so well already and I will be forever grateful for my sweet five friends/brothers and sisters.
Heart broken
While at camp we sat through a perspectives session. We learned about how many tribes have never heard the name of Jesus. 41.4% of the worlds population is considered unreached. When I heard some of these facts it took everything in me to hold the tears in. Almost half of our world doesn’t know the loving heart of our father. I will do everything in my own power through Jesus to make him famous.
Freed
Being free and feeling free are completely different. After sitting through 10 days of sessions and being surrounded by prayer the Lord broke so many things off of me I didn’t even know I had. Since I have been home all I want to do is dance and sing and praise our Lord because he is so good. I can’t wait to walk through this year and break off more chains that only the Lord knows are there.
Sad
I never would have dreamed I could be so upset about leaving people just after 10 days of knowing them but I was. We all connected so well it was really hard to leave. To think I have 6 weeks until I get to see them again and serve with them honestly crushes my heart. Although I am sad I am thankful I get to spend the next 6 weeks around people who love me deeply and I will cherish every moment up until launch.
Excited
I am so pumped to see what all I get to say yes to this year. I am also so grateful to have a Lord that is so easy to serve because his love is so great for me. I am excited to see my people again and walk with them around the world. I am excited to see the heart change in people. I am excited to see the miracles the Lord is going to use my team to make happen.
