I’m currently sitting outside as I write this blog not even knowing where to start. Although training camp was a long 10 days, its all kind of a blur right now. I know I’ve learned so much, but I feel like I have so little to tell. This scares me too because I‘ve gotten chosen to be the storyteller of my team!
If you don’t know what that means, I’m basically the one who needs to continuously post and share what my team is doing on the mission field. I also have to encourage my team mates to post as well.
As much as this is scary it’s also very exciting. I’m not one to write a lot or even read a lot for that matter, but I do like to post. And I especially like to create videos.
But even videos are a little nerve wracking to me. I know I’m not a professional and I don’t pretend to me. Im just afraid that when I tell others I like to create videos they will expect me to be a professional, and when I’m not, they will be disappointed.
But that’s okay! I learned at training camp that it’s not about what your good at and how talented you are, it’s about what God uses that talent for!
The weeks, even months, leading up to trainning camp, I worried SO MUCH about what others would think about me that when I got there I was afriad to even pull out my camera (my iPhone) to record. On the van ride to camp someone gave me a dove chocolate that said “be fearlessly authentic“ on the inside. This really spoke to me but I still found myself holding back throuhout most of camp.
I don’t want to be scared of who I am. There is nothing to be scared about. God made me who I am and there’s nothing the enemy can say to stop that. There’s nothing to hide or be ashamed of. I want to be who I am and who God created me to be.
Anyway, I did learn a lot and definitely went through a lot at training camp. More importantly though, I met some really cool people there that are called my squad, but who I call family. They are the most loving and accepting group of individuals I’ve ever met and I can’t wait to do life with them!
I feel like this blog was kind of all over the place, but if your still reading, here is a small glimpse of what training camp looked like for me. Hope you enjoy ??
