Thank you.
Sometimes I don't seem to just simply say Thank you.I heard a sermon this past week and he said, we shouldn't go to Christ with heres what you can do for me but we should go to Christ with what can we do for you!
Here lately my thoughts and all my free time are consumed with preparing to leave in September.I need so much more money, I need all my gear, I have things here at home to sort out, I have to prepare my heart to leave my family, my church, my friends, and my best friend! I've struggled with worrying if I know the bible fully! What kind of clothes am I supposed to pack? How am I going to fit all of my stuff into my backpack? Whoa! So much stuff and so little time. Then I step back…breath and realize God has got this!
I just have to trust Him!
Since I have been accepted to the World Race I feel like my life has been a roller coaster of emotions, I have been pushed out of my comfort zone more than once, and I have never felt closer to God. I have learned so much already and my journey hasn't even begun! My relationships are changing and I am learning I don't want to be independent…I want top be dependent on Him. Training camp is right around the corner and launch is 74 DAYS away. I think I need a moment to soak that in! I am excited and nervous and happy and sad but most of all… I AM READY!
Ready for God to break my heart, change me, stretch me, fill me with joy, and most of all reveal His self to me in ways I have never experienced!
Thank you father for loving me and for your forgiveness. Thank you for all the struggles I have had and all the beautiful moments you have given me. Thank you for love and friendships and for community.
Thank you.
