Wow. Okay, the World Race is coming to a close. I have just a couples days left living this life. All I can say is wow. It has been a crazy whirlwind. Our last week is called final debrief where we get to live a deluxe, boujee life on the beach and spend our last moments together having fun and processing to go home.
The whole race you look forward to final debrief thinking about all crazy things your going to do, all the rules your going to break and just all the wild things. But this debrief is probably the most relaxed one I have yet. I don’t have the desire to go out every second and fill every day with wild adventures. Instead I was to BE. I want to BE with the people I love so deeply. I want to BE still with God and reflect on he has done. I want to BE present with what is in front of me. I just want to BE.
I am so grateful that the Lord has slowed me down because He knows how much it means to me to cherish an ending. I am a big ending gal. I love all the lasts and all the emotions that comes with an end. I think I am like this because I want to celebrate all the good of this last season and be excited for even how grater the next will be.
So as I have been reflecting on these last wild nine months I am overwhelmed with emotions. I am beyond thankful for all the moments, the hard moments, the funny moments, the moments full of joy and all the people that have filled them.
Processing this whole time is a big task but it is so amazing to look back and see the change. Has the World Race changed my life? Yes. Every day that is lived in communion with the Lord and his people is going to change you. I have learned so many things about myself through living in community. Jesus has rocked my world with his love and his continual grace. I have gained amazing friends that I am excited to walk through the rest of life with. I have gotten perspective of our world through the Fathers lens. I have understanding that love is the way to change, nothing I can do it going to break chains like the love of Jesus.
Leaving the race is a very exciting thing for me because I get to be my best self with all the people that I love so dearly at home. I am so excited to bring the healthy rhythms home that brings intimacy. I am excited to come into a whole new place (GCU) because I know what kind of people I want to surround myself with and what community should look like. The Lord has spoken a lot about reaping the harvest at home and I am just following his lead to see what that means for me and Him.
Thank you one last time for everyone that helped me get here and for everyone that has supported me in my life and been in my corner. As I come home I would love to meet with some wise women of the Lord that can help me mature more on my spiritual journey, I would love it if you could email me so I can hear your wisdom in the future. Please reach out to me if you have any questions about my race or if you would like to meet up sometime and talk.

The race has come to an end but here I come into the new beginning.
