So I’m sitting at launch all the way in Atlanta Georgia thinking to myself, I thought this would all be more real right now, it is to a degree and on the other hand still feels all surreal
All my thoughts and emotions from the beginning of this journey til now, flood my heart and mind. The main emotions right now are:
1. Excitement – I’m honestly so pumped to be sitting here right now in this hotel with a few days to go until we get on the plane for Guatemala. Being with my team and seeing all the squads has brought somewhat comfort to my heart, that feeling, though I’m away from my family and friends, these guys make me feel in friendship and family right now. My team of girls are amazing and make me feel that I am a part of something though it is bigger than all of us but we get to do it together rather than on our own.
2. Apprehension – no big adventure or decision comes without a little bunch of nerves, things I’m nervous about right now include my family coping while I’m away, fundraising my last couple of goals whilst out on the race. Being able to stay healthy physically, mentally and spiritually; I’m learning everyday to choose to invite God into this process – I do not to this well but he is faithful and I am trusting. Though I don’t see how this all works out down the line, being with him brings me immense peace and talking it out with those around me helps.
3. Lastly I’m feeling super thankful, thankful to God for his provision, love and grace. This past week or so, it had actually been crazy what God has done and provided not only for me but those around me as I’ve continued to step out. I’m thankful for my friends and family, those individuals that prayed for me and gave encouraging words THANK YOU! I am especially thankful for my team, my squad and all the staff who have supported me and cheered me onwards and upwards
All that’s left to say (for now) is that you are one of 200 subscribers to this blog – how cool is that!? I still have some way to reaching my goals, the next one is $13,000 by the end of Nov. I’m fundraising and asking in prayer would you support me financially and help continue what Gods’ put on my heart by giving £30/$40 you can donate on the homepage or contact me
OR
if you wanted to hold a fundraiser on my behalf would love to hear from you!
Next time you hear from me, I’ll be in Guatemala (WHOOP WHOOP)
Thanks for reading 🙂
