I have 4 blogs written that I need to post.
They detail my heart coming out of africa and into thailand.
They describe the water festival (thai new year), waterfalls, gulf of thailand, and other adventures I've been having.
There's even one about my recent stay at Sirivej Hospital in Chanthaburi, Thailand…
But this is the only blog I can get my fingers to type right now, because I gotta see my brother!
On the race we do this thing every few months called debrief. it's when staff and leadership come out to the field to meet us, encourage us, give us some rest, remind us how to speak English with native English speakers (just kidding…not really)…it's a time that we get to see some of our family and covering and actually REST.
My squad leaders Phillip and Christy launched with us in September, walked beside us for 4 months, raised up my sister Rachel and my brother Christian to lead A-squad in their absence, and they returned to the states.
in about 2 weeks, we have our 8 month debrief, and Phillip and Christy get to come back out and join A-squad for a few days!!
We've been on the field WITHOUT Phillip and Christy for 4 months, and they get to come remind us who we are, remind us who they saw us to be, hug us, worship with us, and just generally BE with us because they are our FAMILY.
but Phillip still needs funding to be able to come out to Cambodia and he needs that funding ASAP (like, last week), and A-squad needs our brother.
Phillip, our Romania friend Lazslo, and an obviously awesome shirt.
Phillip and Christy spent a lot of time with my team during the first 4 months, they saw the best in me when I was at my worst, and they called it out in me. They are BOTH leaders who were placed in my life to play a vital role in my growth this year.
Phillip spends a LOT of time praying over A-squad, specifically our men.
We have some INCREDIBLE men on A-squad, and they were pretty cool before Phillip got to them (I guess), but now these men WORSHIP. These men shout, they comand attention, they love harder than I've ever seen a group of men love each other or the people around them, they preach truth, they walk boldly and confidently –
they do that because they were lead by a bold, confident man who preaches truth and loves the people around him more than I'd ever seen a man reach out and love before I met Phillip.
Please, yes, I'm talking about money. If you have anything to spare from $1 to $1,000, consider giving something to Phillip so he can come see his squad – so our family is complete as we come together for this last debrief before heading into our final 3 months of the race.
A-squad praying over phillip and christy the last time we saw them.
We love our leaders, and debrief will just feel weird without both of them there.
