Thinking about the world race is something that had been on my mind but something I didn’t think I would do. You have to raise $15,500, quit/take a break from your job you had for 6 and half years, and leave loved ones behind. I didn’t realize that there would be talk about God and the spiritual realm in an everyday conversation.
However, I am here in month 3 on the world race in Nicaragua. The one I would like to thank most is my heavenly Daddy because He said He would provide and He has provided all I need. I need $253.46 to reach the$ 15,500 goal before January 1, 2013. I have a job no matter what the end of the race looks like because He will provide and He has reassured me that my loved ones are safe. I’m having a conversation about God and the spiritual realm everyday and I LOVE IT.
Man, it’s month 3 already and that means one continent down and 3 more to go. However, I would not be here if it was not for my supporters. Thank you for standing behind me as I am taken along this learning journey. To be stretched on the unthinkable, work on a team with 7 people, and show love to others is showing me what loving and living really means.
The unthinkable is I will be seeing things that I would never believe. I can see a star angel, hear my Daddy clearer, and have so much joy. There are times I just want to laugh and there is no reason why. I want to keep learning and build a better relationship with my heavenly Father every day.
Try and put 7 random people together and become a team. I have learned to let my personal wall down and let others in. Yes, we are different, but with our differences we work so well. There is the feisty one that will tell it like it is, the two that have the extreme outgoing personality, the shy one, the leader, the one who is so adorable, and the laid back one. I love my team so much and they have all taught me so much by loving others and letting people in.
Living life right now is hard. It means moving to a new location each month and wondering what the month might bring. But now I know that it is okay to have no plans and stop worrying about ministry, because my heavenly Father has everything under control and all I can do is obey and follow Him. I am learning to love others like He would love them. We live like the locals, which means eating what they eat, and this has opened my eyes even more. Living for him is hard, but living for him is the way to go no matter what may be ahead because he is the way and the truth.
So, I would like to thank all who have supported me financially and the ones that support me for taking this new journey. I am learning so much about myself and the relationship I want to keep growing with my heavenly Father.
