Hey ya’ll
Just wanted to give you an update.
After prayer and counsel, I have stepped down from partnering with SKAD for this year’s warped tour. I have a lot of respect for SKAD, and that respect is reciprocated. Ultimately I just have too much going on with TWR.
Fundraising is going well still. If everyone continues to donate the way they pledged to donate, I only have a few thousand left to fundraise! Which is such a blessing, but trying to finish strong and keep going. I’ve been fundraising almost full time, while working a full time job, since January and it wears on me.
Worklife is currently a struggle. I mean, it isn’t anything new I just think with the spiritual warfare of about to go on this trip, combined with fundraising full time, combined with the regular struggles of working at a restaurant in a college town it wears down.
The Lord is my rock and my refuge, right?
I’ve had to work a lot less to emotionally be stable during the whole process. They were working me at one point every day for two weeks. And right now I work less but I don’t think I’ll even be able to emotionally work double-shifts anymore. The money is really good it’s just the continuous disrespect from coworkers towards my character and beliefs really wears me down and I would hate to go into the World Race trip already worn out. I need to find some rest before I head out.
Anywho, if you could pray for work situation that would be rad. I’ve informed management about some of the reoccurring problems several times and not sure if it’s even rational for me to be there anymore.
We’ll see.
I just find myself seeing my friends on tour, or working their jobs or whatever they’re doing and they are always like “man! life is soooo good! God is good!” I believe god is good and I feel that part, but for the last few weeks it has been a hard-good. Not a happy good. God is good, but isn’t out of happiness it is out of knowledge of him and comfort in him.
Please be in prayer for me.
Thanks for reading and support.
With love and respect,
-Josef
