How is Laura?
I think my heart is good. It’s
a bit weird right now. Friday is my last day in this role with the World Race. For
the past two and a half years my activities have been really centered on this
program. I was talking with Corey last night and finally put into words how
hard this really is. Most people in America work at a place and can’t
wait for God to move them into doing something they are passionate about. I
actually work in a place that I love, with my best friends, doing something I
am completely passionate about. Saying goodbye to this is really hard. I think
I need the Grieving Session at Training Camp again!!! J
The reason I’m “weird”
and not just “sad” though is because I’m simultaneously VERY
excited. All of our setup has come together and I know (as much as you ever “know”)
what we’re doing this summer. And I’m really excited about it. I’ve
gotten to talk to quite a few of the students and I’m really excited to
meet them. I’m looking forward to what Corey and I are entering into and
I’m pumped. I’m not saying goodbye to the job I love to enter some
horrible place… I’m really looking ahead to something great!
I’m a little bit freaked
out about training camp to be honest. I’ve been on the staff side quite a
few times and I know what kind of stuff we put participants through!!! I can’t
say I’m super excited about being a participant in camp… but maybe
I am some too. I don’t really know how I feel. I’m ready to meet
the team and begin building. I think that overshadows any reservations I have…
So yeah… that’s
where I am… Weird.
