I am blogging from training camp. Our team has been put through ringer spiritually, mentally, and physically.  I have discovered how much I love air conditioning and comfort, but I am at peace with the fact that I am a wuss.  What I am a little uneasy about is the fact that I have to put myself at the mercy of leadership, and trust that the Holy Spirit is working through them to put my into a family   Not just any family but the right family; to live, grow, and do ministry/life with for 11 months!!  What a challenge for them, and for me to trust them.  For those who are not familiar the World Race, we have a group of about 60 people, split into 2 squads which are divided into teams of 6 people.  Those six people are my new immediate family.  I just want to follow the Lord leading and be the servant of the team, which is not the reputation I have acquired so far.  I need prayers!!    

This is just what a independent, successful, “good looking” dude needs dependence, trust, and faith!!  The good looking part is debatable, but the needs are not.  Psalms 4:5 speaks about offering the right sacrifice, and put your trust in the Lord.   So just maybe if I commit myself to sacrifice the trust part will be easy.
