Dub dub dub dub dub DUB DUB!! W squad! Im honestly not even sure where to start on training camp or how to even explain it! It was seriously the most intense 9 days of my life. As Lauren (another girl on my squad) and I were driving to camp she asked me what I was expecting to happen over these next few days and I said “honestly I have absolutely no idea. I don’t want to have any expectations about it.” The first day we learned that expectations are unspoken/spoken things that we think should or want to happen at a certain place at a certain time. I realized even though I didn’t have spoken expectations I did have them. I had heard that training camp was spiritually, emotionally, and physically intense but I thought that I would go through this week easily? WRONG! This week blew my mind. I went back a forth a few times thinking “God are you sure this is what you want me to do? I could always serve you here in the States.” Then there was “what about my family and the community I have? Why do I have to leave them?” This was all within the first two days!! As time went on I realized that God has me exactly where he wants me to be. He has called me to leave everything behind loved ones, opportunities, comfort, missed memories, privacy, EVERYTHING! It’s by no means going to be easy but I trust that God has a plan in it all.
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
