The moment I stepped on to the plane to Georgia from my comfort zone of Oklahoma I was full of insecurity and fear. Especially since this would be my first time on a plane. I knew that this is where I needed to be, but I was anxious. I had no idea what to expect. Meeting the girls on my team, and the people working with AIM at the airport made me feel so much more confident that I was right where God wanted me. From feeling like I'm on the amazing race while running with my suit case in the slush and mud on the streets of downtown Atlanta, to my first street ministry, the amazing worship, to the many encouraging words spoken to me, it has all been a blessing.
Being at this training camp has changed my life. I have never been with a group of people that are more on fire for God. I am so inspired. It is crazy how every girl on my team, including my leaders, are so unique. I truly believe that God put all of us on this team for a reason. God has shown me that I do not have to be afraid, because he gives us a peace that surpasses all understanding. I hear that "courage is not the absence of fear", and that "insecurity is prideful". Those are some of the things that I am always going to take with me. Being here has already been one of the best experiences of my life, and I can't wait to see what's to come. Watch out Nicaragua.
