Who ever imagines that they
will ever be 6 months into the Race? I certainly thought I would be here some
day, but the fact that it is now a reality is nuts. We are halfway through
month six which means we have been on the race for 5 ½ months and we will be on
the race for 5 ½ months. There were so many things that I thought I would have
accomplished or grown in by the time it was this far into the race. But almost
none of those things are true. But I have grown in so many other ways. So we
are halfway done. Things are ridiculous and hard some days. Some days I am
frustrated because I don’t feel like I am accomplishing anything out here. Some
days I long to go home. Some days I have no desire to go home ever. This month,
more than any other month on the race we have had more talk about home. Things
we miss, food we long for, people we want to see, weddings we wish we could be
in, how many miles we wish we could drive in our cars, going grocery shopping
with a million options, the list is endless and goes on for weeks… literally…
we have been talking about it for 2 weeks. Stupid things that are trying to
pull us back to home, back to what we left five and a half months ago. I know
that I am not supposed to go home yet. Even though some days I just want to be
done with the race, I know that this is where God wants me.
My final deadline is less
than two weeks away. I still need about $2500 before I am fully funded. This is
my last deadline and once again, if I don’t make it, I will be going home. Six
months is not all I was called to. I was called to eleven. There is more in
store for me in the final five months of my race. Please pray about how you can
help keep me out here on the field. To those of you who have already supported
me so much, thank you and I love you so much. I really wouldn’t be becoming the
woman I am becoming without your support and love. Thank you so much. I can’t
believe we are halfway done… I am ready to embrace what the race has for me in
the next two months in Africa and the final three in Asia.
