I haven't been great at blogging, but I really am going to work on that because I know important it is. Now that that's out of the way, I have spent the last 8 ½ days at training camp in preparation for the World Race! Coming into this experience I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I had little things that I thought might happen but really had no idea. I was excited, nervous, and a little terrified to be honest. I was worried about fitting in and how the week would go in general. What I didn't expect or know was…

  • How intense this week would be ( spiritually, emotionally, and physically)
  • That I would fall in love with my squad after such a short time.
  • That I would hear from God in a way I hadn't in a long time and be completely broken, then built back up again.
  • Have so much encouragement around me.
  • Feel such peace and be so refreshed.
  • That I would bond with people so quickly.
  • How amazing the Aim staff and alumni here are and that they had a lot of the same exact feelings going into and during their own training camps.
  • That I would learn this much about myself, about my personal walk with God and what I need to change and work on.
  • That I packed entirely way to much!

I had absolutely no idea that there would be so much depth to this week and that I would be challenged from day 1. I am so thankful for this experience and thankful that I was pushed out of my comfort zone and challenged to be greater. I am so excited for this journey and can't wait to get out on the field! If I had to tell future people coming to training camp something I would tell them to just be open, flexible, and be ready for your world to be rocked, it might be a little scary at first but just embrace it and amazing things will happen for sure.
