I feel like I’ve left so much out because of lack of time but I want my supporters to know what God is doing and where he is leading me. So, for the next few days I’m going to share some of my personal journal with you. Some short, some long. I’m going to blog overload you! SWEEEET right?! It would be awesome if you would read them all because some of them really reach into my heart and I want you, my supporters to know what is going on not only in my ministry but also in my heart while I’m here in Guatemala.
So lets back all the way up and start with Day 1 – Launch for The World Race
September 5, 2012
2 all nighters, one dance video, and a long 6hr ride later; we made it. 1st stop, Chicago for launch. Standing in the lobby of 4 points hotel completely overwhelmed. Struggling not to just sit down, back up, and go into my own world.
My world, where these people aren’t pulling me in every direction. Where God isn’t fighting to get my attention. A world where time is standing still, I’m standing still, no thoughts, no voices of heven, no voices of earth.
I’m overwhelmed. I’m scared what my dad is thinking as he watches me from a few rows back. Does he think I’m fake. Does he think all of this is fake. God is yelling to me but I can’t figure out where he is. I can hear him as if I’m mid-dream and my parents are trying to wake me. Dazed. But this is REALITY! It doesn’t feel real yet. Excited to see all my friends again! Excited to finally hug my new friends again.
Sitting through our 1st session, Shaun Champ Smith telling us, giving us insight into the journey we are about to take. Making people laugh with oxymoron phrases from the bible ie “You are poor yet you are rich.”
Beginning to finally come back from my world, like rushing through a tunnel. It’s all REAL. It’s all happening. It IS. IT IS as huge as it feels! It IS too big to take on alone. Even when I hear a voice calling me to stay. Satan telling me not to go. I’m going and I MUST HAVE GOD WITH ME!!
I MUST!!
I MUST call on him. I must be intentional. I must make it my mission to leave EVERY place I go better than I found it. Not just in cleanliness but in hope, peace, spirit, kindness, love, JESUS. “Servants are greatest among you.” I must make “my ceiling their floor”
Quotes I wanted to remember:
“I do not have the right to be right”
God says “keep on comin. You messed up but you’re my bride. I love you, Keep on coming”
“You have authority only because you’re under it”
“We judge ourselves by our intentions. Judge others by their intentions not their actions”
Also, I'm still in need of financial support in order to stay in the mission field please consider supporting me or rallying supporters. Donate at this link

stopped on the side of the road to pray and seek God. Also where I got my foot infected.
