It is Month Ten.
Month Ten. I am amazed
that I have made it this far. There were definitely times that I
wanted to throw in the towel on this whole Race thing, and it is
definitely not by my own strength that I am sitting in Thailand
today.
Month Ten. I cannot
believe I have been away from home for so many months. Part of me
wants to come back and never leave while another part of me is
planning my next trip to another faraway country.
Month Ten. Have I really
survived being around the same 5 people for so long? But what will I
do without them?
Month Ten. The line
between what makes the difference between a good day and a bad day
has finally been blurred beyond recognition. “Bad days� are those
that bring growth and wisdom, and that’s what I signed up for, while
“good days� might not include the challenges that refine people.
Month Ten. I am about to
reenter the real world, where people have jobs, where people are
allowed to go places by themselves and eat from a budget that’s more
than $4 a day. It is going to take a while to remember what that’s
like.
Month Ten. I am weeks away
from seeing so many people that I love; I am weeks away from leaving
so many people that I love.
Those are just a few of the many
thoughts that those two words bring into my head. Let the countdown
begin, there are less than 2 months left of my World Race!
Pray for all of the racers on my squad
to remain fully present to experience these last two countries while
we try to figure out what life is going to look like at home!
