These past four days of training camp have impacted me in such a huge way. I really had no idea what to expect. It’s been really hard for me because I’ve been homesick. I didn’t really think about that affecting me during training camp. But I was really struggling with wanting to be two places at once. Yesterday morning, we did this activity that was called a Surrender Hike. We each had a log an we wrote things on it with a marker. We were supposed to write things that we still needed to surrender to God and not take with us on our trip. I felt like I needed to let go of my family and feeling homesick. Then, we carried the log through the woods on a trail and spent time talking to God about it. That process really helped me let go of my anxiety and desire to be at home. I’m here on this trip for a reason and I’m so excited to see what is going to happen. 🙂
