I
have been at training camp since Friday night. I feel like I have been
in a whirlwind of emotion since it started. Actually, I should say
before I even set foot on campus. I had a lot of fear that I didn’t
want to admit to before camp began. I was afraid of what camp would be
like, could I handle, it, what would God begin to break in me, and
would I get along with my teammates. The answers: intense, yes, lots,
and yes. I have so many thoughts right now that I am still processing,
so bear with me. I will give you a taste World Race training camp.
Dr.
Ron Walborn has been talking to us so far. He has rocked my thoughts.
God is doing big works in each of us. I feel like the lesson I need to
process the most is the one on the Holy Spirit. I have not grown up
seeking the Holy Spirit…but that is going to change now! “The gift of
the Holy Spirit is for every believer. It is not a reward it is a
gift.” I know I have so much to learn when it comes to this, but I
already feel God working in my heart. He is opening it up right now and
preparing it. I am not sure exactly what that entails but the key word
is open. I am open to the presence of God and He can do whatever He
need to!
I
have had some beautiful conversations with my teammates. I love hearing
their stories and hearing how God is shaping them right now. This is
going to be one heck of a year because there are some might warriors of
God here. Plus, we are having so much fun together. Last night we
played captured the flag and all the ladies had a little bit too much
fun with the mud as we prepared for battle. We can laugh and cry
together. This is just the beginning of community life.
There will be much more to come about training camp; after I process A LOT more of course.
This is just the beginning of the journey…
