Wait…what?! It's October?!
Training Camp is in ~10 days….wait….what?!
Launch is in less than 3 months….wait….what?!
Is this the right time to start panicking just a little bit….?
All major items have been bought….I know I have enough money for the Race…so I wonder…why am I still uneasy??
Perhaps I'm starting to worry if I'll get to see everyone I want to see before I leave…perhaps I'm afraid that no one on the #N squad will like me and befriend me….perhaps I'm already starting to wonder about what I will do when I return from the Race…perhaps the thought of all the things I will miss at home is starting to get to me….perhaps I'm afraid something will happen and I cannot finish the Race…
These verses come to mind….
Philippians 4:6-7 NIV
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding , will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ."
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV
"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Jesus Christ."
I realize that ultimately God is in control and being human of course I'm going to be uncertain of a lot of things…but God is unchanging…the same yesterday, today, and always 🙂
Prayer is sooo important…
I am also way too excited for Training Camp and the Race that all my worries are trumped by my desire to get to know the #N squad and spread God's love to the world!
Thank you, Lord, for this incredible opportunity to meet an awesome extended family and to spread Your Truth around the world…
Bunch of scattered thoughts, but yes…I have full faith and trust in God and I'll take the good and bad that comes my way…
God has proved himself faithful time and time again…this time it will be no different.
Lately I have been reminded of how short life is and how important it really is to live life to the fullest each and everyday 🙂
Breathe….
