Initial Thoughts About My Squad
May 17th through May 24th was my training camp. I had no idea what to expect, but I got so much from this experience.
Traveling the world is going to have its difficulties. The logistics of getting from one place to another with 42 other people alone will be hard enough (thank you Jesus I do not have that role :D), but what about relationship strain? When we are hot, tired, dirty, and feeling selfish, how will we react?
I have no fear about this. My squad is amazing. Every person is called to do this race with me, and even though I know we will have our problems with each other when we choose selfishness instead of selflessness, I know that we are family. Family loves each other. Even more, we were not born into this family, but we choose this family. LOVE IS A CHOICE.
I am excited to see myself and my squad grow this year. I see so much potential in my brothers and sisters, as well as myself, for what God can do in our lives.
TRAINING CAMP
HARD!
It was so hard, but as I always say, the hardest times in my life have been the best times in my life.
Training Camp took place in Northern Georgia over a week. The first few days were cold and rainy. I just came from Phoenix ya’ll, so that was like a 40 degree difference. We were put through some different scenarios, and while I will not divulge the details to you future races ;), I will say that the cold rain didn’t help any.
I felt…
1. Sleep Deprived
2. Hungry
3. Emotionally Exhausted (Introvert Alert/See Above 2)
4. FEARFUL
Spiritual Attacks are Real, and I had to deal with some of that. I was fearful of things that I would not normally be afraid of, like leaving comfort. Not me. I knew it was not from God or myself, and got through it to the other side.
The Holy Spirit is also real, in case you were wondering. I had some bonding time with Him during worship, and it was great. He gave me a word from a couple of people, then gave me a word to tell someone. They needed to hear exactly what I said. It was pretty cool.
Once I finally got to start bonding with my squad I was so happy. I knew that this was definitely what God had for me. I found out who my team would be so here you go…
