and post two blogs in one day, but…
I AM OFFICIALLY FULLY FUNDED!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't have to come home NOW.
Can I just tell you how amazing God, my provider is? seriously. You all know just how hard, taxing, and slow this fundraising process has been. I was patiently (sometimes not so patiently) awaiting the funds to come in. There were times when I legitimately thought I wasn't going to stay on the race, there were times when i knew that I would at least make it to the next leg. There were times when I thought about doing the race over (minus the fundraising part) and there have been times when i knew I would never, ever, do it again. I've been all over the place.
So, thank you, THANK YOU, to everyone who has partnered with me through this, who has stood by me, who has given financially, prayed for me, helped me with the silent auction, loaning me money to buy health insurance, providing me with free items, helping me with a garage sale, supporting me time and time again, and following me on this journey.
I am so blessed to run this race with you, to be a part of God's plan that is bigger than I could ever have imagined it to be. I'm excited to finish strong, to fully commit and invest in what God has put before me to finish. Three months in Central America:: Guatemala, Honduras & Nicaragua (is my assumption). Three months of practicing spanish, praying for direction, and pleading iwth God to make my next path clear. He's going to continue working in me and working through me. And, in all of this, he is preparing me for the next journey of life – whatever that looks like.
Continue to pray for me, that his touch would be apparent in my life. I don't necessarily believe that his will for my life means that there is a wrong or right choice of what to do after the race, but I do believe that if nothing else he wants me to follow his leadings and trust him.
Thank you, once again, for being amazing, and for helping me to accomplish more than I ever could have dreamed of.
With love, lots and lots of love,
Amanda
