So I thought I would save this beloved U2 title for something that I saw on the race, but it’s the only one that fits right now…
What is the sweetest thing?
Sitting here in my kitchen, typing on my mac, with the window open revealing a still shining sun (it’s 7pm! I LOVE the long summer days), reflecting on how I already have such a STRONG support system for this world race! 6 months ago as my best friend Genelle has written I had no idea that, A: this opportunity existed or B: that the Lord was going to catapult me from my sweet little world! NOW: my family has graciously “allowed” me to go on this trip with their blessing and growing encouragement, and my friends daily give me a pep talk or a listening ear to my many excited ramblings over this journey, and I am getting to know the October world racers and they are GREAT! ☺
Ok so why is today the Sweetest Thing? Because I just had a FABULOUS time with the Lord and I have been BLESSED by His nearness and His provision through some pretty stellar folks! People have started to stand up and say YES I will pray daily For Alex and the totally rad October team, and YES I will give of my hard earned money to send her on this mission pilgrimage! I am praying sooo hard that people will believe in this ministry but now the fact that I can see they want me to go and are helping me go just brings me to tears. I am humbled and blessed and really overwhelmingly moved! Seeing my army of supporters begin to gather is just incredible!
And now my dad is home and sharing in my joy, and telling me all about his workout so I gotta go…he’s so cute! ☺
