So, where do I begin to try to even summarize training camp and all the amazing things that happened a couple of weeks ago? I will just begin by saying it was such an amazing week. God really taught me a lot about myself and how he is going to stretch my faith this next year. I can tell you one thing it was a very overwhelming week! For someone like me who is introverted and quiet most of the time it was a lot for me to process and take in. I got to meet my wonderful new family! H Squad!! 
They are such an great group of people and I know God is going to teach me so much through them!
So, back to what God taught me a few weeks ago. I have been so scared about this trip since the beginning. I just have had no clue how everything was going to come together. I would have never dreamed of doing something like this. This is so out of character for me! One of the first nights while at camp someone came up to me and told me that God would equip for this journey. He would give me all the tools that I need to go out and spread his word around the world. I am called to go on this race all I need to do is go and he will take care of the rest. This was so encouraging to me and exactly what I needed to hear someone say. God is going to take care of me. As it says in his word in Phil. 4:19, "And God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." On Tuesday of that week I had someone come up and say they saw me as a pillar of faith. They said that they saw me as a leader. I was thinking the whole time..you must have the wrong person, I can't be a leader. I have always been a quiet person who keeps things to herself. But as it says in 2
Timothy 1:7 God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power, of love,and of self- discipline. Through Christ we can all be leaders. In Phil. 4:13 it says, "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." This is one of many of my life verses. I know in him all things are possible. On Wednesday night I went up to ask for prayer for my back. My back was in bad shape and I was in a lot of pain. I had many people come up and pray for me. The prayer became more about my identity in Christ than about my back. God really taught me a lot about my identity in him that night. He taught many truths about me and about all his children.
I AM LOVED!!
I AM NEEDED!!
I CAN BE A LEADER…BETTER YET I AM A LEADER!!
I AM A STRONG WOMAN OF GOD!!
I AM A DAUGHTER OF GOD!!
I am still trying to learn these things and proclaiming them in Christ each day. I ask that you will continue to pray for my back. God is going to have to do his mighty work on it to get me through this next year. I know that he is still in the healing buisness and he will take care of it in his time!
On Thursday we learned who's team we would be on for the next year. I am proud to introduce you to my team.
Cologne of Christ! Here they are: 
They are a wonderful group of women and I can't wait to serve alongside of them throughout this next year. I know God is going to do some amazing things through us this year. So there you have it, there is what training camp was to me in a few words. I can not wait to see what God has in store for me this next year!
1 more month and it all begins!
