First I want to say thank you to all who have prayed for me on this journey, who have sowed into me doing the world race. You have been amazing support to me in ways I can never thank you enough. I recently went back to training camp for the world race. I gave my all but it just wasn’t enough. The World Race is becoming more and more physical and I am just not in shape to do it. I took a few days before writing this because I needed to get through my anger, disappointment, sadness, etc. I am not saying that I am completely ok because my heart was completely broken and with God I will be put back together and made whole but I am processing and moving forward with God. The door to the World Race may be closed but know that all the funds I raised are not going to wasted. Adventures in Missions has opened a door for me to do a few short term missions trips with the funds that I have raised. The only thing I will need to do is fund raise for Plane tickets to get to those locations. As I have been looking at the funds I do have it looks like I will be able to take 6 short term trips. I will be setting up a go fund me page for my flights. I am also going to try to raise funds to go on trips with my church and with some friends. Please keep me in your prayers as I continue to heal, and turn this all over to God. I am thankful for what I have learned through this process. I have learned to be vulnerable, to not give up, To Trust God with my life following His lead, I have started in a process of going through my past and dealing with all the hurts and pains that I just surpressed and said it wasn’t important. I have learned that I am worth investing in myself so that I can help others and love others better. I have learned that I need others to help me accomplish my God dreams and that I can’t do it on my own. That even though I was not fit enough to do this, I am not a failure. I know God used me to pray for many squads and racers, to inspire a few to never give up. Also as I flew home early I was able to lead a young woman to Christ. I have become tired of hiding all that I am, I am not afraid to be myself, the woman that God created me to be. I am not my past circumstances but God is taking that to help others along the way and He is turning the ugly of being malested as a child into a way to reach others that have gone through or are in simular circumstances. Thank you again for all that you have sowen into my life, words will never be able to express my gratitude.
