Our team has this really fun group chat going on. I don’t comment very much (I always feel two steps behind in group chats), but I feel like I know our team already because of it. We share everything from gear sales to personal struggles on this chat. This week, we’ve been sharing that we are all feeling anxious about the financial burden. It’s been great to watch the team pray over each other and share different stories of blessing to encourage each other. I love it. I know I talk about finances a lot, and that is for a very basic reason: I hate asking for money. I like being independent. So thinking about this as a team effort is a constant reminder to myself. Furthermore, I like being organized. I want to have everything in order, and this is not mine to put in order.
I went and spoke to two Sunday school classes today (both very encouraging). Afterwards, while I prayed, God reminded me of the summer that I finally hit my grow spurt. I went from barely 5’0 to almost 5’7 in one summer. What I had forgotten, was how uncomfortable it was. Growing hurts. While all of us on this team are adults, we have a lot of spiritual growing to do on this journey, both together and individually. This week, I am asking for prayers for growing pains for my team and I as we take the next steps forward this week. In return for praying for us, we would like to pray for you. How can we pray for you?
I’ve also had several people ask about the break down of the countries, so I will be making a post shortly with so basic information as to our journey, the route order as it stands, and so on.
Have a wonderful day!
