My journey after the Race has at times been more difficult than when I was on it. Processing what I saw, experienced, and heard, realizing that life will never be the same and I’ll always have a different perspective than everyone around me. Learning to find security in God Himself and not in my theology about Him. My “transition home” has been a mess relationally, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally, as I try to make sense of it all and figure out how to live life back in America.
I’m excited to begin writing again, processing out loud with anyone who will listen. Below is the introduction and link to my new blog.

Thank you for loving, praying, and supporting me as I’ve transitioned. I know I’ve talked with many of you along the way and you have chosen to enter the transition with me so that I was not alone. I couldn’t have done it without you.
Love you all!
Growing up in the South, it’s inevitable to try and follow Jesus at some point or another.
At 14 I began this journey and secured a good amount of knowledge and confidence when it came to being a Christian. Sooner or later, I began to think that I had it all figured out and it was my job to tell the world where they were right and wrong. Well 10 years, 12 countries, and hundreds of experiences later, I’ve learned that just when think you know everything, you know close to nothing. So at 24, with a good amount of life experience under my belt, surrounded by mystery and questions, I ask myself:
“Can I give all my mind to get what the messenger is saying? Can I surrender my knowing? Will I survive the humility of ignorance to obtain the treasure that earthly gold cannot buy? Will I ask the question of honesty even if the answer convicts my soul and leads me to the land of repentance?”
Join me as we stumble together through doubts and questions, and leap together with joy and hope. Holy Spirit will be with us and He will guide us, as we discover what life is all about.
