Well, I’m doing what I said I would never do.
I’m going back to the World Race. It was never that the
World Race was bad, by any means, it just spent me and I thought I was done.
But it turns out, I wasn’t spent after all.
I was asked to Squad Lead in July, so I have some serious
work to do.
I need to find/borrow/buy a pack, sleeping pad, etc. Let’s
just say I got rid of all my stuff from my race.
I need to nail down a support letter, a blog or two, find
plane tickets, get some insurance, and probably a couple other things that are
escaping my mind.
I also need to walk in what God is offering me right now. I
am so sure about my choice to Squad Lead, it’s outrageous.
My time in Flagstaff was, more or less, a kick in the face.
I learned a lot. It was a time of learning Diving lessons, and I refuse to say
that it was a failure. I learned a ton about what my future should look
like…what it shouldn’t look like. I left Flag feeling a tad beat up but very
hungry for what God was telling me He had in store for me. So, I left with my
eyes open, my heart exposed, and my ears alert to what He said He was going to
show me.
He didn’t disappoint. Because He’s not in the business of
disappointment.
My friend and old Squad Leader Noe called and asked if I
wanted to lead. Of all the things that I saw on my journey back to Colorado
from Flagstaff, this was that one option that gave me ridiculous amounts of
peace and assurance. I knew as Noe was offering the position, that it was what
I was supposed to do.
I was made to mentor people. I was made to love the hell out
of people. The World Race is what I was made to do at this point in my life.
And I’m confident in that. And despite the fact that I’m a tad nervous, I know
that everything is going to work out the way it’s supposed to.
I broke my bank to go to Flagstaff. I lived on enough to only
pay rent most of the time. And my parents, family, and friends have sacrificed
heaps to support me financially. I am beyond grateful to all that have
supported me! It’s a hard sacrifice for my supporters to make, for me to live
this way. And I understand, that it doesn’t make a lick of sense. But I’m
following the Voice of the Lord and trusting in what He’s asking of me. So I
will send out yet another support letter, asking for your help. There’s good
news, I have financial backing now, so you will get a legitimate tax write-off
on any gift you give J
yay!!!
I am in need of $7,000 in order to do what I was called to
do. I would be so vey appreciative if you chose to give! Just go here and
