Training camp-To be honest I’m still trying to process everything that happened this past week but I can give you a glimpse of what I felt.
It was one of the hardest and most beautiful weeks of my life. If it is any indication for what this next year will look like, it is going to be wild, beautiful and freeing.
Training camp was exhausting- physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It was challenging. I was pushed outside my comfort zone in a million different ways. I was cold, hungry, and wet. The first few days were hard and I sat there thinking… I can’t do this for a year, there is no way God can use me. There were whispers of inadequacy. Past pains that I thought had been dealt with came flooding to me. Doubt and fear made a home in my heart and mind. But God showed up and He showed up big. He reminded me that He called me to this and He will see me through it. He reminded me to let my faith be bigger than my fear. He broke down my walls and He began to heal me in a way I have never let Him before. And boy… the freedom, redemption, restoration and joy that was felt is indescribable. I have never been more in love with my Heavenly Father and I feel like the song “Set a Fire” describes how I’m feeling pretty perfectly.
I was blown away by my squad this week. It is insane that I love a group of people as much as I do after knowing them for only 7 days. God knit us together in the most perfect way and He is going to use us in big ways this next year.
Meet “D” sqaud-aka “Dauntless” There is a whole lot of Jesus in this group and it is beautiful
We also found out our teams at TC but I want to devote a whole post to team katafygio so be on the lookout 🙂
Future racers– My advice to you: Go to training camp with no expectations except to be beautifully broken and to see God move in big ways.
