I leave today for training camp to meet the people that will have to put up with me for nine months, and I couldn’t be more nervous and excited at the same time. I’ve been praying over my team for weeks now, and I’ve slowly been getting to know them through a group chat that blows up everyday with hilarious jokes, heart-filled prayers, and tons and tons of questions. Though this group chat is helpful and funny and a beautiful mess, I truly cannot wrap my mind around how all these human beings across the world are going to be within inches of me in eight hours!!!! What!? I have been praying specifically for amazing friendships to form either at camp or on the race because the thought of leaving behind my friends here in Georgia makes me pretty sad. The weirdest part of me leaving isn’t that there will probably be a language barrier, or that I won’t have a luxurious living space, or even that I won’t have access to WiFi (let me clarify I couldn’t care less about these things). The weirdest part is that I’m leaving my closest friends. This didn’t hit me until right now at this moment. The thought of not having my amazing support system of mentors and therapists and family and best friends is so bizarre! However, I know for a fact that the Lord has divinely knit my team together for specific purposes to do incredible things through him. And for that reason, I’m so excited. So teammates, if you’re reading this, I love you, I’m praying for you, I will never stop dancing, and I’m sorry in advance for my hot mess of a self. But this is who I am. A super messy, super clumsy, super weird child of God. LET’S DO THIS V SQUAD!!
