The day before leaving for training camp, everything fell apart. I had hit a new personal low and all I could think about the ten days ahead of me was that God was going to change me. And He did. There is something to be said about that faith, but there’s so much more to be said of Him, who meets us right where we are and always restores and lovingly corrects. During the first four days I was in some deep emotional turmoil but He continued to walk with me, telling me to take in one day at a time. He was my comfort and my strength, both in Himself and through my wonderful teammates that helped me all in their own ways. I saw Him everywhere in that place and left with the greatest spiritual hunger for more of Him than I’ve ever felt in my life. Training camp was Hard. But during training camp I realized who I am in Christ and exactly how much greater He is than anything else. I left training camp with so much more than I came with. I left training camp ready for this gap year world race.
