Welcome to my World Race blog!! This is my first official post!!
You can read most of this on my 'About Me' page, but just to brief you on how I got here: I graduated from Duluth, MN with an Occupational Therapy degree and worked in Minneapolis for 3 years before my itch to travel got the best of me. I began working as a travelling Occupational Therapist and living life on the road. After much down sizing, my Camry and I took off to the West coast. I began working in Oregon, then to Idado, and soon to Tennessee/Georgia area. God has blessed me with amazing friendships and community in each place thus far. After 2 amazing 'divine appointments,' I learned about the World Race. I offered up to God every excuse in the book why it is not even realistic to go- school loans, work, family, etc. God then graciously kept me up all night with the question 'Why not? Do you trust me?' And with that, I gave in. God is so good! Its amazing to think back to the last 10 years and how He as so incredibly orchestrated my life to prepare me for this time and for this trip.
Well I am beginning the whirl wind (so it feels) of fundraising which is proving difficult when I don't have a home church or a home either I guess :-/ Everyone has been so very gracious with me and my ever-changing schedule. The next couple weekends I have lined up a yummy bake sale and photo sale at church. Yay!! So if you are in the Twin Falls, ID area, please stop by Lighthouse Church for some delicious cupcakes, bars (yes, I'm from Minnesota), cookies, pies, cakes, etc.
I'll leave you with this thought: A dear friend just sent me a text with a reminder of God's steadfast love and promises in Psalm 23 and Psalm 91. Here's a bit from Psalm 91- God speaking about us: 'Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.'
Thanks for reading! Talk to you soon!
