Coming home from the race was probably the hardest adjustment I have ever had. Going from community all around you to minimal or none, was the hardest issue. When people would ask about the Race, I was completely fine but then when they would ask about y teammates….I couldn’t talk. I would well up and just become a blubber mouth. (its kind of funny now when I think about it) Its not that I don’t have friends its just when you go from sleeping, eating and doing ministry with the same people 24/7 and then all of a sudden they are taken from you, its kind of like getting divorced to 6 other people. HARD. But the thing I have especially noticed about being home, I have started to slip back into the destructive habits that I shed when I went on the race. This is because of my lack of community and peers around me. I have no one to keep me accountable.
I am about to start a program called Project search light for us post racers for the next 2 weeks. WE will learning how to put the needs we saw over the year into action. I am excited about learning how to put my desires into action. I am hoping to learn where to start. I have ideas of what I would like to see happen, but these next 2 weeks will give me some direction of where to start.
