21 days until training camp in Georgia!!
–This seriously blows my mind how quickly the time is coming up that I will finally get to meet all of my beautiful team mates, and start the heart wrenching, physical limit testing, raw, and crazy process of training camp! 🙂 I’ve been talking with all of my team mates through out the last few months, and they are seriously all so flipping awesome! We can already talk so openly and real with each other, and it just seriously blows my mind how all of this is falling perfectly in to sync with right where I am supposed to be in this process..where ALL of us are in this process!
Currently, I am still in need of $1500 in order to be able to launch in January, and about $8,900 away from being fully funded!! Please, if you feel you are able to help me financially by donating, please do so here. We’re getting so close guys, and THANK YOU to all who have supported me so far!!
NOW…
Something that was on my mind today was this.. when I first had the idea of doing the World Race planted in to my heart and mind, I did it because I wanted to LOVE. I wanted to love others around the world, I wanted to learn to love my creator for who he is, I wanted to love the people in my life better, and I wanted to love ME. But then I got to thinking this morning, do I actually even know what that word MEANS? Like, do I really know how to manifest this beautiful word that I say that I live by? I know that’s what I am going to be doing in my heart and my mind when I’m out on the field.. but will I be able to do it in the way that we are all intended to really love?
Love is not an ownership of something, it isn’t possession over the things that you simply enjoy. I am learning that love sometimes looks like simply SEEING someone, or something and appreciating it. Not simply seeing what you want, but REALLY seeing that person, or seeing the beauty of that mountain, or seeing the joy that you feel from playing your favorite sport..and then choosing to appreciate it in that instant for exactly what it is. Love is a boundless appreciation for something in it’s most natural state, and an unadulterated, unselfish nurturing of it with the desire to know it fully.
I believe that’s how God’s love is for us. He knows us, he sees our hearts, and cherishes it. We are called to love unselfishly, to not boast about ourselves, but to always pursue the true meaning of love.
I say this to talk about the fact that this is what I am going to try and do while I am out around the world. It’s not my intention to go out and impose my beliefs on others, or to force anyone to appreciate me, whether it be out there, or back here at home. I am going to simply go…and love with my whole heart, to love right where they are, because that’s honestly the best way to raise your frequency in life, and the best way to get closest to the original intention of our father.
I can’t express to you all enough how insanely excited I am to be leaving in 3 weeks, and to LAUNCH in 3 months!! It is getting to be so insanely real, and seriously fills me with so much passion, I can’t even begin to put it into words. This is a dream that I’ve always had, to get the chance to fully embrace others, and to get to explore the world that we were gifted with! I feel the life building in me, I feel my heart beating stronger when I think about it, and I feel tears well up in my eyes when I really step back and look at what God has given me. He’s given me the desire, the WILL, and is manifesting this amazing opportunity to go to 11 freaking countries and get the chance to love his people! WOW!!! 🙂
Look for another post when I get back from training camp! One of the things I am going to try and get before I go is a camera so that I can take pics and show you guys my awesome team mates and some of our experience!
Love you all!!!
