The biggest question I keep getting is what’s next. When I left on the race I had no clue what I would do when I was done. I no longer wanted to be a police officer and never really thought about what I would do if I wasn’t a police officer. I’m still not 100% sure what I want to do. The one thing i know for sure is that i will do what God wants me to do. I do have a couple things in place in my near future though.
For one, I will be returning home for the month of december to celebrate the holidays with my family and attend my sisters wedding. In january though my plan is to move to Denver, Colorado. Adventures in missions has set up what they call landing zones for racers coming off the field. It’s for racers who dont or cant move back in with their parents but dont have the money to live on their own. Adventures in missions has put me in contact with a couple who lives just outside of Denver who have the space to let me live with them. I will be getting a job in the area and will be saving up money for what’s to come next. I’m not sure how long I will stay with them but my hope is to move to North Carolina sometime in August.
Back in February when we were doing ministry in North Carolina we met a man who created a school called CreatEd Institute. It’s a bible school that’s geared towards students who have struggled with school in the past. I have applied to the school but havent been accepted yet. If I go there and graduate I will receive an associate’s degree. The man who created the school gave us a whole presentation on it. He told us about all of the success stories that have gone through the school. He caught my attention when he started talking about a girl who’s high school counselor said shed never accomplish anything and never get a degree. She ended up going to created though and graduated at the top of her class. He gave us this whole presentation in Hope’s that we could spread the word about it to people across the United States but I immediately told him that I felt like I was meant to go to the school. Two of my teammates also said that they immediately thought of me during the presentation. I know that this is where God wants me to go next.
After that I have no idea what I’ll do. I know I definitely want to do a mission trip once a year but I dont know what else is in my future. The only thing that is for sure is that I will be doing God’s work.
