Leadership

Hey lovely friends!

Hope life is a treating you well! Its so hard to believe that I am down to my last few months (weeks) here at home and in Canada...pretty bitter sweet it is as there are lots of mixed emotions going on inside me right about now!

I am sending this out to ask for prayer. I leave in about 6 days to fly down to Atlanta GA to have a week of Training camp (for the World Race) and to meet my squad etc (not really sure what this week will all consist of). So prayer for peace, and that it would all go good, would be fantastic but specifically for what I am going to mention next-as its something I have wrestled with internally for since I signed up.

One thing, from my understanding of how this all works...is that our squad (consisting of roughly 65 people) will be broken down into teams of 5-7...among those smaller teams...there are still team leaders (people with a few more responsibilities/leadership etc i assume?)

Some of you may know-especially those around me in my college SBC days..will know I often 'declined' or 'shyed away' from leadership roles.  Point it, since I first applied to the race-I have been feeling that perhaps God is pushing/showing/leading me to more of a leadership type role...and that thought alone..scares me. SO, I am told that at Training camp-this gets decided/talked about/approached -from day one-I have fought God on this saying "God, if they ask me..my answer is automatically 'thanks by no thanks'" but now...I am not so sure...

I am not sure yet what i will say IF they approach me (NO idea if they will even...and I maybe mis understanding this all too) but prayers for that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for now friends!! :)
