There hasn’t been a whole lot that has happened since my last blog in terms of new things… I am still working on getting my substitute license for Jeffco schools so that I can start subbing, I am still planning on going back to school in January and graduating in May, and I am still so so so EXCITED for Jan 2018 routes to be announced so I can apply and start support-raising again, I am enjoying watching K-Squad start their World Race in Cote d’Ivoire and cant wait to watch as the rest of it unfolds!!
It still amazes me that The Father can and does provide the exact thing we need at the exact right moment! A few weeks ago I was walking to counseling and the song “Fall Apart by Josh Wilson” came on and I’ve always loved this song, but in that moment I realized it was so very applicable to what I am currently going through!
The past 4 months have been an up and down rollercoaster of emotions and full of many unexpected twists and turns (School and Training Camp)… but what really surprises me is that in this new time of unknowns and new beginnings I feel so much closer to God than I ever have before (even on my best days). Usually when things go wrong and don’t turn out the way I expected I blame God and run away from him, but when has that ever worked out for me? NEVER!! So this time I am trying something “new” to me and instead of running from God I am running towards him and the comfort and peace that only he can offer!!
The beginning of this month was a very difficult time for me, because my FamBam (K-Squad) headed to Atlanta for their launch and I couldn’t help but wish I were there with them, because I love each and everyone of them. I posted this picture of them from Camp
with the following caption “It’s here!! These wonderful souls are on their way to Africa for the first part of their World Race!! They are my family and I absolutely love each and everyone of them and an so so so excited to watch as they grow The Kingdom!! They mean the absolute world to me and I am so blessed that they will be part of my life forever!! #WorldRace #11n11 #FamBam #KSquad #lovethem” and one of my awesome squadmates commented and said, “We love you Kim!!!!! Once in FamBam, always in FamBam!! :)” and I cant tell you how much that means to me to still have their support even though I am not with them anymore!! Needless to say they day they actually launched was an emotional one for me, but I was surrounded by family and that helped to know I wasn’t alone… cause if I had been alone I would’ve probably been a GIANT emotional mess (and that would’ve been ok too).
