Deadlines.Deadlines.Deadlines. Thank you WR for deadlines. I am the Master of Procrastination (an actual award, that I have actually received). I am practically convince that I function at full potential when down to the wire. Maybe I do, who knows? I sure don’t. Time on my hands leads to anxiety, pre-mature stress, loss of sleep….and, well every other Google searched symptom I was able to find. Shout Out to Dr. Google.
Deadlines, as you can probably imagine, are a bit of a catch 22 for me. But God continues to show me grace (e.g., College) and has filled me with a proactive spirit through this season…which is continually fueled by support FUNdraising…a very blog-worthy topic, soon to come 🙂
After multiple overdoses of college student procrastination, The World Race has given me the opportunity for rehab! Financial deadlines!!! The first of which was $3,500 by June 28th! This not only would secure my spot for the time being, but it also meant I was in the clear to travel to Gainesville, Georgia for training camp in July…. If I make my deadlines, I leave in September! If I don’t make them……well, you get the picture!
Don’t worry Mom & Dad; don’t go throwing in the towel…you will soon have your “kids are finally out the house” freedom. I am here to share with all of you that, we did it! The first deadline has been met, and it was met nearly a month and a half early; which was two weeks ago. Yes, I procrastinated on posting my blog about procrastination! Not only did we do it, but I didn’t even have to count pennies from my neighbors cousins best friends sisters couch cushion on June 27th! Thank you to everyone who has felt it upon your heart to partner with me on our journey. It has been your support, prayers, and constant encouragement keeping us in this race!
I love you…
I am officially 23% funded and still believe that this trip can be paid in full by September launch! Yep, I said it! Nothing is impossible with even the smallest bit of faith (Matthew 17:20). Please continue to pray with me and for me through this pre-race season, and lets move some mountains! If you have any questions on how you can partner with me, please do not hesitate to contact me by email, phone, text, message in a bottle, carrier pigeon, you know, just the usual 🙂
