I’m at a point in my life where everything I say feels like a lie.

I cannot tell any employer I’ll be around next year.

I cannot tell my parents I’ll come back and want to start my businesswoman career right away.

I cannot tell my grandparents I’ll be financially sound.

I cannot tell the woman I once volunteered with that human trafficking will always be my deepest, most inherent passion.

I cannot tell my passport that I won’t fill up its pages anymore.

I cannot tell my friends I’ll end up in Milwaukee even though I love it now.

I cannot tell Danski when I get back I’ll be ready to get married and plan a life together, let alone know if I’ll still be half the same “me” that he loves.

I cannot tell myself I’ll be whole when the World Race ends.

 

But I will be able to tell everyone I meet – the little old lady at the grocery store, the dog I’ll buy post Race, all the P kids and my family, the ladies on Team Hesed, and anyone else kind enough to listen – that I love Jesus much more than I did when I started this soul search 11 months ago.

Be blessed!
