Well as we all know, training camp is in a little less than a week now. I am still trying to process my feelings around this. I want to say I am excited and ready, which are both true. But I also am realizing how anxious and scared I am. The fact that I will be flying by myself to a state I have barely visited and not having met a soul is daunting to me. But I am overjoyed to start my new adventure with new friends. It is a true feeling of mixed emotions.
Although I am going through all of these emotions, I know I am not going through them alone. I have 40 plus people going through the same thing. But I can also feel alone at times because those people live all over the country (or even out of the country). But my heart beams at the fact that I will be able to hug these people who have encouraged me online for so many months.
The World Race group chat has been going nuts for the past few days as we are all scrambling to make sure we have everything we need. I look at my phone and laugh because I know all the little things we are worrying about now will soon be insignificant when we get into our rhythm together as a community. I can feel these people and their joy in the Lord from all the way in Houston, Texas. I can’t wait to be in the same space as them in six short days.
Although I am living in anticipation of what is coming next in my life, I am working on balancing being present where I am too. I am only scratching the surface of finding that balance and I love that I have so much more to learn.
Blessings,
Hannah Keller
