365.
How is it possible that I have been home from World Race #1 for 365 days?
I have been trying to write this blog in my head for days in preparation for this day…but there just aren’t words. I am honestly sad. And happy. And sad again. And happy again. I don’t really know what I am.
Sad that it has been 365 days since I have seen some of the beautiful people that I call family.
Happy that I live in a place where there is electricity and running water. ( really happy about that, actually.)
Sad that I have fallen back into some old routines I swore I would never do again. (like facebook more than read my Bible)
Beyond thrilled that in the last 365 days I have been to 7 different states and 5 countries. Hard to believe that really. My World Race lifestyle has kind of continued as the longest I have been anywhere consistently is about 3 weeks! I really want to do a little wrap-up of each country and share my favorite picks and some stories that maybe I didn’t get time to blog about while I was on the field. So that will be coming this next week. I hope 🙂

Happy that I have had 365 days of living with a new worldview; a new identity; and a new appreciation for being an American!

This week alone I have had no less than 3 emails from people who are still reading blogs and following this journey. People that I don’t know and have never met. It still blows me away that God would use me, and this crazy journey to reach people in His Kingdom. It amazes me that the craziness that is in my head is read and appreciated by all of you out in blog-land. it amazes me how much I LOVE responding to emails that ask “why should I go on the World Race?” and having conversations with people that encourage them to step out in faith and see what God has in store for them. Thank you for praying, supporting and reading these past 365 days. I would have never made it without you.
The journey is just beginning…stay tuned!
I LOVE MY LIFE!
