Before you start reading, play this song! It's our camp theme song. Cheyanne made up an awesome dance to it. 🙂
Today is the last night at Training Camp and I can't believe it. It's bittersweet. This week has been one of the toughest, but also one of the best. We were tested on so many different levels: spiritually, physically, metally. I had heard that the goal of Training Camp was to get all of your "junk" out before you head out on the race. Mission complete. I have been dealing with some stuff for years now. Stuff that really broke me. And I felt God release me of it. I felt at peace. I felt free of the hurt I had been carrying with me for half a decade. That night, our squad had a dance party in the lecture hall. I felt drunk. No joke. When I told my team leaders about it, they said you can be "drunk in the spirit". New concept to me. One of my squadmates asked me if I needed help getting back to my tent that night. She asked me if I needed a "DW": designanted walker. 🙂 It was the craziest feeling. I can't wait for it to happen again. Training Camp was the best week of my life. I met so many amazing, strong people that are now family to me. I cannot wait to start this 11 month journey with them and with God.
