I am the kind of girl who needs her sleep at night, and when I don’t get it, the following day can be somewhat of a challenge. But the last few nights I’ve hardly been able to sleep, and the funny thing is that I haven’t been tired during that day at all. My body aches for rest, but I have more mental energy than I have experienced before.
Here’s the thing: Training camp beings THIS Saturday, and that’s when I FINALLY get to meet my (F)amily from F squad! Seriously. This Saturday.
(Commence dance around my bedroom)………………
Woohoo! That was awesome.
Do you remember when you found out your first crush liked you back? Remember how you would randomly burst into a smile at the thought of it, and then you’d smile even bigger because you caught yourself smiling, and then you would laugh in glee because you would realize just how doggone happy you are? I know you know what I’m talking about.
Well, now picture having a crush on like 50 people at the same time. And you know that all 50 of them like you back. Okay, I know that sounds a bit strange, but to a world racer about to go to training camp, it’s completely normal. I absolutely, unequivocally, adore my squad, my (F)amily! So that’s why I can’t sleep. That’s why I can’t eat. That’s why I have so much energy for the day. My love tank is bursting at the seams!
So training camp starts on Saturday and I have NO idea what the expect–In my friend Meg’s words (meghangrant.theworldrace.org) “I feel like there will be a lot of laughing hysterically and bawling my eyes out at the same time.” God, in his amazing grandeur, has planned the next week. He’s the one that knows what’s coming up. Never in my life have I liked surprises, but training camp is going to be one surprise after another. I didn’t make this plan, God did, and for the first time in my adult life, I am absolutely thrilled at the thought!!
SO please pray for me and my squad, as we embark on Phase 1 of the World Race. And stay tuned for an update after training camp.
It’s getting real, peeps.
Now that I’ve written that, I’m going to turn up some tunes from Broadway, and have another dance party!
Seriously. This Saturday. Whaaaaaat?!
