I know it has been awhile since I’ve last posted a personal blog. I hope you all have been getting our Kenya Initiative blog updates this is the best way to keep in touch with what’s going on with our team.
If you don’t know our team has been taking a road trip across the country hosting 5k races and speaking at local churches or clubs. In fact I am currently writing this out of a coffee shop in Denver, CO after making a 26 hours drive from Port Huron, MI! (I never desire to do that again).
Written on the side of our van is SAN DIEGO BOUND and we are getting in early next week. The 5k is so close and I am so excited about the success we’ve had so far. We have some awesome sponsors locally and nationally who have helped tremendously in making this event successful (StaffWorks, LifeBridge Church, Hunsaker & Associates, Chick-Fil-A, LunaBar, Shay & Associates, Natural Athletic Performance, etc.) Along with the sponsors we have been getting a lot of publicity on the event. NBC Morning News will be doing a live interview with yours truly on June 2nd at 545am, lots of news papers and local magazines are publishing the story too!
Throughout this entire process I have really had to rely on God to show up. There is no way that I could pull any of this successfully if God wasn’t in it at the beginning. He is teaching me to continue to take His hand and let Him lead me. If any of you know me well I like to have control over situations and know where the next step is or how to fix everything with my own strength. I have been completely stripped of it all, and all the comfort is gone (especially in this 15 passenger van). My comfort is solely found in the presence of God and I love every minute of it. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement along the way. God has placed each of you in my life and I am thankful for the grace He has shown me through you. I only hope I can bless you all in return for how much I feel God’s love from each of you. Thank you.
The team in front of the Niagara Falls!
