So, as I battled these new-found revelations, I discovered that my identity was being covered-up beneath the rubble.

WHO AM I? And why the heck am I asking this question in month 9 of the Race? You would think I would have been asking this question at the start of my 11 month journey-but no, God had other plans.

Right now I am at an event called The Awakening which is a conference put on by the WR for alumni and every squad on the field to come together and worship our creator. I was SUPER excited and expected that my spirit would be “Awakened” (pardon the pun); however, the first two days I felt nothing. I tried, believe me, I did!

It was not until worship on the second night that I realized what was holding me back. My former squad leader, Tara, came up to me and just held me in her arms for a few seconds and then Tara opened up and began to speak life into me. She felt the fear in me and brought it into the light.
