It is about 3 days til training camp, which seems like the official beginning of the World Race experience. Its crazy thinking that this moment I've thought of for so long is now coming to fruition! It was last August when I first heard of the World Race and after watching some videos of training camp I felt at peace with the trip.
So now is when the time of conversion is happening. Time for the hard goodbyes to start happening. Time for warm embraces of new friendships to occur.
This is a time I have thought much in the past year, preparing myself for it all. As it comes, I realize how unprepared I am, and I'm totally ok with it.
Ecclesiasties 3 teaches that there is a season for everything under the sun, and man is this season coming fast!
In the next few days I will be buying all my gear, meeting a 50 new family members, and experiencing some life changing moments in training camp.
The best way of describing it is I am unprepared, but my heavenly father's name is "I AM". Time to lean on all the promises the Lord has made to me:
I am never left or forsaken. (Heb. 13:5)
I am strengthened when I am weak. (Isa 40:29)
I am never separated from the love of God (Rom 8:39)
This is an exciting time, but more exciting knowing the little control I have in the midst of the a season that is full amazing challenges.
