When I came to training camp I thought that I had no expectations, yet every time that I turn around I am realizing that camp is not how I thought it should be. So I am letting go of all expectations that I didn’t even know that I had. When it comes down to the honest truth, I am falling in love with God’s plan more than my own… who would have thought?
At training camp there are three World Race squads, “Z”, “A”, and “B”. I have the honor and blessing to be a part of the “B” Squad (BEST SQUAD!). I don’t know what it is about the “B” Squad (BEST SQUAD!), but we have this amazing chemistry that is hard to find in a group more than 50. We have been at camp for three days and already we are crying together, laughing together, and building these amazing friendships that I’m confident will last forever. The community that we have is absolutely phenomenal and God breathed. The God I serve is absolutely brilliant. He started speaking to our squad, individually, at different times, and in different ways. Yet we are all together and I believe that He picked us out to be united together to do His work. I know that should be a “duh” statement, but together, as a squad, we are going to be such a force; we are going to go into other countries and bulldoze the enemy for the glory of God. I believe that we are going to be an unstoppable force, for when our God is for us, who can be against us?
This training camp has been an amazing experience and we aren’t even half way through. Over the past three days God has been transforming my spirit and mind, healing me from issues that I didn’t know that I had, and I can only imagine what the rest of the week holds. Every day I am seeing a new facet of God and it is truly amazing. I will never really see how big God is because He is way too big! I think I know and then my mind is blown once again. I have no idea what the rest of this week holds, so I’m going to throw away all of my expectations of what I think camp should be and I’m going to just let God do His thing and continue to let Him blow my mind. God is here at this camp and I know that this is exactly where God wants me to be.
