Today is the day!
It is hard to believe that today is the day of Launch for the World Race. Many people have been asking me how I am feeling about leaving for 11 months, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to share those feelings. There are so many different emotions that I have gone through while preparing since August for this very day, but also emotions I am going through as I am saying my “see you laters” to the people I love the most. Lucky for me, I have so many wonderful people to say goodbye to, and so many in my corner ready to help in any way possible throughout this journey. I think I have felt every emotion possible; I did not even know I had the amount of emotions I really do have, but I have learned throughout this that having those emotions are completely okay. Down to the nitty gritty, I am feeling SO much excitement leading up to today. I feel 100% that this is where I have been called to spend the next season of my life, and that feeling brings the peace of mind I was looking for.
God has been so good to ease my mind over the past few weeks. Throughout this, I have already started to learn how to be more dependent on him. That dependence has brought me to the excitement that today is. Of course, there was (and still is a little) fear and worry, but guess what? God takes our fears, our worries, and if we can be open in allowing him to take that then there is a weight that will be lifted off our shoulders. That is simply what the first leg of this experience has taught me. To literally let go and let God. That Phrase is something I have “lived” by for many years, it was not until this experience that I realized I truly was not letting those feelings go to God.
So follow along folks, today is my first official day on the field!
