I have grown so much as a woman of God in this first month. I have taken a big leap into the unknown. I didn’t exactly stick the landing, but I made it here. I’m up on my feet. Change is so good for the soul. And how wonderful it is that we’ve had such a home here, that there will be tearful goodbyes, and this certainly won’t be the only difficult goodbye of my race. However, the first cut is the deepest, right?
“Your names are written on the tablets of our hearts.” These were the words spoken at our farewell party for us from the seminary school men and women. How wonderful love is… Love is what makes this trip worth all of the hardships, all of the emotions, all of the adventures. All of it is for love. As painful and bittersweet it is to say goodbye, my heart has grown so much bigger. There was a time in my life when I thought darkness had won, and I would live my life a certain way forever. But love is so much more powerful than anything in this world. Every day on this race my heart grows bigger and bigger with my squad mates and the people I come in contact with. I’m so ready for month 2.
I want to take this time to say THANK YOU to my supporters. I’m so sorry I didn’t have wifi to post blogs and keep you updated the first month. Thank you for your love and support and dedication to my journey- you are all such a vital part to this shindig. God bless!
