When I was getting ready to leave on
the Race I had basicly I had this idea that it was going to be a year
of totally removing myself from home and doing being on the Race with
very little contact home. And by doing this it would help me grow and
change. So I started saying my good byes as if I wouldn’t be talking
to most of you until I got back. A couple people called me out on
this idea and approach and said that they didn’t think it was the way
to go and that they still needed me at home. So I have been putting a
little effort into staying in touch with them but I haven’t been
blogging a lot because I am not much of a writer. Writing has always
been something that is hard for me. For one I am a terrible speller
and two I am can’t ever type write fast enough to get my thoughts on
paper before they leave my head. Add to that only getting to the
inter net once and a while and I have lots of excuses not to blog a
lot.
The other night I was talking to a
friend that just got back from the race not to long ago and she is
having a hard time being home and getting back into the swing of
things. I think that it is a combination of a lot of things like
being back in the states and really being able to see what wrong with
the way we do things there. And trying keep all the good parts of
herself that she found along the race with her as she reconnects with
all of her friends. And it sort of hit me that it is not just good to
keep in touch with people at home so they can see where there support
is going and so they can feel included in what happening here. But it
is really important to bring them along on my personal journey so
that they can be a part of the and know more about where I am at when
I get home.
I haven’t been doing a very good job
with that and I just want to apologize to you all and commit to you
to blog more and and to be more open about whats going on with me and
my journey with the Lord here. It is my hope that through me sharing
what is going on with me and my life that you will all feel closer to
me when I get home than you did when I left. So that we can continue
to build on that and I will be able to have an awesome community of
friends to grow with when I come home. One of the biggest things that
God has really put on my heart is how important real community is and
how it really helps us to grow and become the men and women of God
that we were created to be.
More to come soon 🙂
