These past few months have been pretty stressful for me. Hence why I have been MIA in writing a new blog post.
Getting ready to leave everything behind has been a challange. But a challange I was & still am willing to accept. I admit when I started to get stressed on how I am gonna raise the money, how I am gonna be able to leave many people & things I love… I started questioning if I could really do this. But as I was reminded by friends & family & the Lord that it was the devil talking trying to distract me… I came together & just breathed. God always makes a way & provides! Don’t get me wrong… there are still times where I have to remind myself that & that’s okay! What we are going to be doing next year is far greater & more important than missing my worldly possesions & missing the people that I know support me & will still be there for me when I get back. God is going to do some amazing things when we are away.
I do have many people who do support me in this decision to go on the World Race. But there are a few family members who disapprove & refuse to help support me financially & emotionally. But it’s the emotional support they refuse to give that hurts. When they can’t see why in the world I would chose to do something this far away from home, for so long, in such dangerous areas & something so costly. I see where they come from & I explain that I am doing this because I hear & feel the call to do this. That reading about the World Race tugged at my heart so much I just knew! But as a fellow racer told me… That it’s hard for people who don’t hear the calling to see why. & that couldn’t be more true. No matter how much I explain why… They still won’t see. All I can do is pray that God opens their minds & hearts to what I am doing & why I chose this mission.
Losing the support from family memebers… I make up in support from my squad. My Q SQUAD!! I am extremly blessed to have such amazing Jesus loving people in my Team & I can not wait to have a life changing year all together with them!
More posts to come! & I promise it won’t take so long this time. Ha!
Xoxo
