What can I say about training camp?
IT WAS AMAZING!!
I can’t even describe training camp to y’all because it was that amazing and mind blowing! ????
I do want to tell you guys though that I’ve made self discoveries about myself those two weeks at training camp. The self discoveries came completely out of the blue!
1. That I wasn’t letting God have control in my life. That I had control in my own life. So three days in, God completely wrecked that and I took that step, fearlessly, into letting God have control of my life.
2. We were having women’s day in a nearby park by training camp while the men took a men hike into the mountains. We were reading the story of Mary and Martha and I became aware that I was a serving someone in obligation. I was not serving God! It was a total mind blowing moment for me because I didn’t even realize that I was doing that.
3. So we had a fitness hike that we had to do for the World Race. Not gonna lie, I was completely nervous about this hike. We had to do 2.2 miles within 38 minutes with a very heavy travel pack on. So I’m doing my hike and all I can say to myself “I can’t do this, you can’t do this Allyson!” I had my friends surrounding me and pushing me through and all they could say was “You can do this Allyson, YOU CAN DO THIS!” I passed my fitness hike and I was super grateful but as it got later into the day, I became disappointed in myself. All I could think was “How could you not push yourself through and why would you bring yourself down in that way?” I found out that I actually never pushed myself because my mom, who is my rock and my strength, is the one who pushes me. I realized that I have never pushed myself through something like that before. As much as I love my momma, she won’t be with me on the World Race. So currently I’m working on myself to push myself.
God really opened my eyes during training camp. Not just myself but others too. As a squad, we became more than friends we became family. All of us, we became closer to God and His love. We all felt it and experienced it at training camp and it hasn’t stopped since training camp. I feel it every single day and it always brings tears of joy to my eyes. God’s love is relentless and amazing!
In Christ,
Allyson Miller
