Guys it's August.
AUGUST.
The last month or so has been a whirlwind. Emotional, physically and mentally draining, and glorious.
To catch you ( and me up to speed) I spent an amazing year at a church being pored into while loving and leading students, and then, it ended. Lots of tears.
Since then I have moved, twice, gone to Vegas and Florida, I got rear ended, and now live in Louisiana.
WOW.
Through this time I have had on my to do list to:
be better, read my Bible more, pursue race stuff more, stop sucking, finish thank you notes, send t shirts ( they're coming ) stop sucking, pray better, find a job, raise money, be perfect … etc.
Do you do this? Set impossible goals, then beat yourself up when you don't perform? I am SO guilty. All through this I think God just smiled down and said breathe.
In. Out.
All along, through the stress and worry, doubt and confusion-HE has been there. How epic is that. The funds are coming in, the shirts will go out.
and… TRAINING CAMP IS IN 71 DAYS!!!!
Watch this video, and you can get a sense of how INSANE it will be. I can't wait. I am ready to do more breathing and leaning on God, less stress and doubt.
I know in 150 ish days I will be heading to a country, and then 10 more with some strangers that will become family, we will tell people about Jesus with our words and actions.
I am working on my to do list, if yours ever looks like mine you should too. Perfection is not on my to do list for the race, camp, or my life. I'll get it wrong lots, and that's ok.
PRAISE God for being constant in it all.
Jerimiah
17:7-8
"But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
