Training Camp: a few days in

So, training camp. It
has been a wild but wonderful experience. Every day has been packed to the brim. I feel incredibly tired, but incredibly uplifted. The
first few days were full of teaching us
the life of abandonment. Abandoning
“religion,” our “rights” and the “right to be right,” and leaving at the door all of our
expectations of what this journey will look like and be; surrendering
the
entire process and journey to what God has planned for us and not what
we
originally planned. Philippians 2:6 was
the prime example given of even Jesus who is
God humbled himself and gave up all his rights and entitlements to come
to the
nations. In the same way if we are to go
and be Jesus to the nations we must now do the same. This
will of course be a struggle we have
throughout the race and throughout our lives, but a very important
lesson to be
learning now.
