11 days.
That’s how many days I spent with my squad. In 11 days these people went from strangers to family. You might be asking how this is possible..but I’ll assure you that with the quality time we spent with one another we are most definitely family. And how incredible is it that God hand picked each one of these special people to be apart of my life!? All 30 people on W-Squad bring new and unique perspectives on life and I have learned so much not only about life but myself through them. I’m SO excited to do life with each and every one of them!
Training camp WRECKED me. Spiritually and emotionally I was tested. I was pushed to break down all my walls and after day four, I had done just that. After holding onto things that I didn’t even know held me down, I started to feel more free. I was vulnerable and let my squad into what made me, me! They got the whole story. The good, the bad and the ugly.
Something in particular that stuck with me all of training camp was that we are born to be loved. Even in the darkest of days we are loved. He loves us through the good, the bad and the ugly. He loves us even when we think we are all alone. He loves us even when we deem ourselves unlovable. This is something I personally struggle with and to have this be something that stuck with me all 11 days, was just what I needed. I have never felt more loved, appreciated and heard in my whole life than at TC.
Through the bucket showers, overflowing porta-potties, billions of bugs and six days of continuous rain W-Squad didn’t just complete training camp, we THRIVED through training camp. Our squad was continually the first ones to events and the last to leave. If this doesn’t get you excited to do life with people like this, I’m not sure what will! I am SO stoked to do life with all of these people and feeling so blessed to be launching August 2 with them!
