Each day on the field proves to be full of uncomfortable moments and unfamiliar situations. Unfamiliar sounds of all hours, food smells, different foods, markets, toilets, traffic, weather, language barriers, living with all girls, spiritual war fare, and having to rely on God constantly instead of my parents. Most of theses things aren’t even bad, they are just still so different even coming to the end of month two. Before coming on the race I didn’t realize how much control I actually had over my daily life and how little control I was willing to give the Lord. Even in the little things I would tell the Lord to take the back seat. Can you believe I would tell the all knowing God not to show me the road map of life… how silly. The race is showing me I am definitely not all knowing (Haha). On the field I don’t get to make as many decisions, which has been some what of a stress relief. I don’t get spiritually and emotionally lost as much but sometimes It can also be aggravating. It’s hard when I can’t see where Gods taken me. I am so eager to know! And I want to prepare for anything and everything. But God is really teaching me to give anything and everything over to Him. And on the way to the destination He will teach me and mold me, He’s not going to leave me there once we get there, we still have more teaching adventures to take together. So not being in the drivers seat has given me a lot of emotions, but I know my God will be faithful. And I know his destination will be far greater then where I would have taken us. I just have to keep my eyes forward on God and remember He is with me through every situation. My God is a good God and I know He won’t lead me astray.
The lord is doing incredible things on this journey through me and in me. I need $5,000 by the end of December in order to stay on this journey. I am already at $10,600 because of people like you! I believe the lord can provide that through you! Please prayerful consider donating to my account! My next stop is Ethiopia! Thank you so much for your support/ prayers!
