Hey Everybody!
Wow! I got back from some training for the World Race about a week ago and I am still reeling. I mean I was worked overtime and it was so worth it. We woke up about 5:30 each morning for prayer then went until about eleven or midnight so the days were long but very exciting. We were able to bond together as a group and see how that unity played such a pivotal role in the difference that we make. I love my brothers and sisters at AIM and on the Race so much and I know that together we will be able to be used by God to do amazing things this next year! But I am so glad and thankful for the people that support me here in the States. Not just with money, but with prayer and encouragement. I am positive I would not be able to do this without all the family and friends who have rallied around me to support me. Thank you all so much. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am so very excited to go on this trip and so very nervous.
My whole desire was to be like Jesus- wandering around to meet the needs of those that world did not consider worthy or important and I know that I will be able to attempt this. BUt I am also aware that I am going to get angry and annoyed during this trip. I am going to be asked to do things that I won’t feel comfortable or willing to do and that makes me nervous. But God is the God of all and I need to willing to submit that to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords to find that balance. I definitely did not sign onto an eleven momth crusie or a travel channel special. This is about doing ministry hardcore- going places that I will suffer and finding God amongst those that suffer too. PLease pray for me and encourage me along the way and even before I leave. I love you all and know that this next year is going to change the world!
