Hello everyone! I just got back from 10 days of training camp for The World Race in Gainesville, GA! The one word I would use to describe it is
INTENSE! To be honest it really made me realize I really had no idea what I was getting myself into! It was a roller coaster of emotions and some deep soul searching as we spent many hours in prayer, worship and team building. We had the privilege of having extraordinary speakers from all over the country come speak to us to get us ready for the intensity of it all!
I realize now we are marching into battle….a serious war is taking place and I need to take seriously this adventure I’m embarking on! Much preparation and discipline is needed, along with dying to self and trusting God with my whole life! Something that has been very hard for me the last 10 days!
We spent the first night sleeping outside in tents in 30 degree weather. I woke up about every hour to my entire body shaking, I have never been so cold in my life. And because it was so cold no one took showers until 5 days later when we camped in a state park for one night where there were hot showers available. Wow did that feel good! But by the end of the training I really started to get used the fact that I might have to go a week without washing my hair too! HAHA!!
But the bathing was the least of my concern….I fear I might be going without truly being burden and broken for the lost people of this world! I realized during training I have let fear and doubt captivate me and consume me to the point that I am left emotionless to the cause that got me going on The World Race in the first place!
So if you think of me…please pray for peace to flood me and a deep burden to penetrate my heart for the nations!
Thank you to those of you that prayed for me during training camp, I needed it! I was one of the hardest weeks in my life! And thanks to those that have supported me finanically, I truly appreciate it….I hope to reach $6500 by the first part of May!
Email me and let me know how I can be praying for you!!!
