I think I was more prepared for ‘the race’ back in May than I am in July. After loveatwork it was summer as usual, getting back into comfort zones and lazy days. Typical procrastination of life, because I can, so I do.
Its real though, its really happening. I’m really doing it. Better get ready. As I lead into that mindset, I find how not ready I am. I still need a lot of things which I pretty much cant get in Tallahassee because well were not that outdoorsy yet. I am not ready to say goodbyes but I have to be. I am not ready to step out in faith but I’ve got to. I don’t think Ill ever be prepared for some things I’ll experience, but that doesn’t mean don’t go.
Things are changing already, and I’m ok with that. Our route has already changed, and will probably (from how unpredictable everything is) change again.
I now go to Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, (was Tanzania but not anymore), Thailand (would have been Vietnam but not anymore) Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines, China, Romania, surprise country (not Moldova) then Ukraine. Something like that.
People keep asking me all kinds of questions I have no idea the answer to, but I think that’s ok because that forces me to have faith. Moneys coming in which is awesome (thank you Jesus), I would like to be fully funded before I go, which means I need more but again, the whole faith thing…gotta have it.
All I know thus far is that I’m going down to Orlando, flying to DC(ish) then hanging there with everyone for a couple days doing some more training. Then we go to Kenya!! My group will be in Nairobi the first month, other than that I don’t know much else.
You could pray for me, that would be goooooood.
