Today has been the third day of training camp but it seems as if we’ve been here for a month! God has done so much in just these three days that I can’t even imagine how much he will do in the next 8 days of camp.Through every worship , through every lesson & teaching, many lives are being stretched & matured, myself included. I’m in awe. I’m also very thankful for all the staff here for the World Race. They train us so well working with us & pushing us towards the Lord for us to be healthy mentally, physically, emotionally & spiritually.They take their time to check up on each one of us to see how we’re doing through every process. I’m so grateful for all they’ve been doing for us.
Although it being uncomfortable at times, I’m especially grateful for how they’ve been teaching us to be real and vulnerable with each other and not to be ashamed of it. The Lord is preparing my squad & I for the journey that is to come, Not only my squad but every World Racer that is here. We’re all going through some type of healing process, it may be painful for awhile but it’s so so worth it! I know without a doubt God has brought us all together to walk this journey of Faith together.
(This was my devotion on our second day of camp from my book ‘God Calling’ by A.J Russell).
[Painful Preparation]
Help & Peace & Joy are here. Your courage will be rewarded. Painful as this time is, you will both one day see the reason of it, and see too that it was not cruel testing, but tender preparation for the wonderful life work you are both to do. Try to realize that your own prayers are being most wonderfully answered. Answered in a way that seems painful to you, but that just now is the only way. Success in the temporal world would not satisfy you. Great Success, in both temporal & spiritual worlds, awaits you. I know you will see this had to be.
