So, my friends and family. Training camp. It’s so funny…today is Wednesday…we all arrived here on Saturday, so I’ve been here a total of what…four whole days? It seems like I’m already out on the field, like I’ve been away from you guys for at least a month already…

Which is weird. I assumed I would be here and be so enraptured by…whatever…that the time would just fly.

Instead, I came to camp. Met about 140 other Racers. Saw Jesus pretty much face to face…twice a day for the first three days. And well, He’s done something weird with time and it seems like I’ve been here forever.

I don’t really have much to write here…because there is just too much. I’ll let you read my journal if you want to.

But what I can say, is-we serve one very mighty, powerful, INTIMATE God. He has been so personal with me these past few days…calling greatness out of me that the enemy has been trying to hide. Greatness that I have heard whispers of in my insides…the Lord has made shouts. Makes sense last week was so challenging…the enemy didn’t want me here. My God had a treasure waiting here for me. (Keep in mind…we’re only half way through.)

We haven’t really started talking about the Race yet. Haha. (The Lord has had His own agenda.) But the excitement for my next eleven months is definitely starting to mount.

Those months are going to be HARD. Oh my goodness…the Lord is going to stretch and challenge me in ways that I can not even conceive right now. But, holy molie…if He has shown up like this for training camp, He has set a very high standard for Himself.

So praise you Father God! Thank you Jesus! Thank you Holy Spirit! AH! Haha…you guys! Seriously, my main prayer while I’ve been here, is that when I come home, I can impart some of this to you. I have wished you were here to experience our God with me so many times. Becca Boo-you would have loved loved loved danding to Johnathon David and Melissa Hessler sing.

I love you all. I am incredibly blessed to have you. The family and community I have is a rare one. I have really begun to believe that I just must be God’s favorite daughter.

See you all soon.

P.S. If you work for Absolute Customs!! Thank you SO MUCH for your gift to me. You can stay anonymous if you want…but I’d love to thank you personally.
