It is only a few weeks until training camp, my bag is being packed, and I am starting to sell my stuff. It feels like I woke up last Monday and it was time to go suddenly. Ready? I can't say I am. I am preparing in all of the physical ways- buying the necessities, fundraising, and planning goodbyes, but my feet are still planted here. Leaving just doesn't feel real yet. I have been most comforted by this verse, " If you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry, and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness." – Isaiah 58:10.
I think training camp will so many questions and squelch so many anxieties. We will be going to Chatanooga, TN for a week to meet the rest of our squad. There, we will all experience a taste of what our journey will be like. Camping, sharing our faith, living in community, we will try to leave whatever is holding us back there to prepare for July.
