Expectations; everybody has them, but sometimes we don't even realize it until they aren't met. Then, we get disappointed or frustrated. We were learning this in one of our training sessions and were seeking for our attitudes to be like that of Christ Jesus through the entire two months. We are God's vessels on the trip no matter what crazy things we end up doing.
This wouldn't have meant as much to me before training camp, but I was definitely thrown for a loop on the first day. I wasn't expecting to drag my luggage around Atlanta, sleep in a homeless shelter, drastically cut my diet by nearly half, or shower in a hose. At first, I panicked and wasn't sure what I had gotten myself into. If I had drastically different expectations of training camp, then what am I going to do on the field? Since my little "freak out" session though, God has calmed my heart, my friends and family back home assured me that I was in their prayers, and my amazing team mates have encouraged me more than I can express. I know without a doubt that God has called me here.
