Introducing U Squad!
This is my family for the next year! They are some of the most amazing, funny and beautiful people I’ve met.
** a special shout out to our two amazing squad leaders Kelsey Sage and Julie Lortz ! and our training camp trainers Tamica Sloan and Sean Smith! **
Training Camp
was 9 days long.
It wasn’t really what I expected it to be. Which was good. I remember before I went to camp I would read tons of blogs trying to get as much information as I could, and everything that I read was pretty much nothing compared to what I did at my training camp.
SO. If you are a future racer, this blog isn’t going to give you all the secrets because
1. it would make training camp a lot less fun for you
2. my experience will probably be completely different from yours. 🙂
I will say this… the first part of the week was probably the hardest for me. I felt like I was looking so deep into myself and taking in so much information that I just didn’t know what to do with myself.
and I cried. and cried some more.
This is a completely normal thing though.
Just be ready to let go of all of your expectations. and really be open to what God is doing and what is to come!
So all in all, it was a really hard week. I felt broken and empty, but God restored me and I had some of the most exciting and joyful experiences ever.
I wish that I could explain exactly everything I felt and what I experienced (ex: COLD weather and some very INTERESTING meals) but I don’t know how. Just that it was amazing.
NOW. I would like to introduce you to my small team of 7. This will be the group of people that I begin this journey with. God definitely orchestrated this group. 🙂
TEAM LIT2BLAZE
from left to right: Justin Hanes (Team Leader), Beka Fritz, Crystal Adams, ME, Genae Lanier, Tiffany Hanes (Justin’s wife:) and Andrew Habermas!
These are the 6 men and women that God has CHOSEN to be His hands and feet.
We are world changers.
This next year our expectations will go down the drain.
our hearts will be broken.
we will be completely wrecked for Jesus.
and it will be the most difficult and beautiful experience of our lives.
Here we are Lord.
The Anthem
I can hear the footsteps of my King
I can hear His heartbeat beckoning
In my darkness He has set me free
And now I hear the Spirit calling me
He’s calling wake up child it’s your turn to shine
You were born for such a time as this
He’s calling wake up child it’s your turn to shine
You were born for such a time as this
Such a time as this
And I can hear a holy rumbling
I’ve begun to preach another King
Loosing chains and breaking down the walls
I want to hear the Father when He calls
He’s calling wake up child it’s your turn to shine
You were born for such a time as this!
Such a time as this
This is the anthem of our generation
Here we are God, shake our nation!
All we need is your love,
You captivate me!
Here we are God, shake our nation!
All we need is your love,
You captivate me!
I am royalty, I have destiny,
I have been set free, I’m gonna shape history!
I’m gonna change the world!
