Training Camp

So we haven't even left for India yet, and this trip has been absolutely amazing. Even if we saw absolutely nothing happen in India (which I am confident won't be the case) the past few days have made this trip completely worth it. I have never experienced such a constant, driven focus on God, because we're all here for the same purposes. The girls on my team are absolutely wonderful... we're all very different but we were without a doubt brought together for a reason. I've seen so many ways God has been preparing me for this experience through this past year, things I never would have guessed would have any significance in India. At times I've doubted how much control God really does have over my life, but this trip is completely in His hands. The people I've met here truly inspire me, and I can't wait to see the ways God is going to continue allowing me to grow... I can only imagine considering the amazing ways He has shown Himself to me in just 2 days! What would it be like if I lived my life this focused on Him everyday, with the support of such a sincere body of believers? 

While this time at training camp has been absolutely amazing I know that there will rough times, and that satan will definitely attack when we leave this support system, so please pray for each of the girls on my team, that we can remain close and grounded in the Lord. God has shown me over and over this week that He has such amazing things planned for me through this summer, and no matter what we do while in India, whether it's just learning about another culture and promoting awareness when we return, whether it's working in orphanages, or whether it's simply building each other up, this experience is a total blessing... yes, I will be blessing others, but I will absolutely be blessed as well.
