For far too long my life was driven by fear. A fear of rejection, a fear of failure, a fear of stepping out in my faith, a fear of looking foolish, and a fear of being not good enough. Coming into training camp for the world race, the first stop of what promises to be a life changing journey. I though I had moved past most of these fears, but this week I've been reminded that I have a long way to go.
Yet during this week at camp for the first time in a long time I have a new sense of freedom and boldness. A freedom that can only come from Christ and His spirit dwelling within. Coming into camp I had really no idea what to expect, and I'm glad that I didn't. I'm not sure that I would have been as stretched and challenged had I seen what was coming.
So I challenge those of you who are about to embark on this journey to come into it ready to be changed, because if this training camp is anything like the ones of the past, once your here you won't really have a choice.
