I’m not sure where the time has gone! I blinked and May was over. A lot happened this last month- I left my job, attended three beautiful weddings and moved from Birmingham to Memphis! I was so sad to leave my people in Alabama (miss you all already), but I am so happy to be home with my family in Tennessee. Everything is starting to feel real. Only two months until I hop on a plane to begin the race!
Tomorrow I will be heading to Gainesville, Ga. for training camp and I will FINALLY get to meet my team. For months we have been in contact as friends and prayer buddies, so I am so excited to have the opportunity to spend time with them before we leave. We will be with four other teams that will be going on different routes in August, but it will be ten sweet days of worshipping and training alongside each other. Please keep all of us in your prayers as we take physical tests and camp out in the Georgia heat (yikes)!
I am still working on being present during this time, but it’s hard not to wish for August to get here. I have been following The World Race social media accounts and reading the blogs of current racers, which has caused me to be very restless. I am so ready to begin this new journey and see how The Lord wants to use me and my team, but like I said, I am trying to be present. The Lord will work then, but He is also working now! We must hold onto that truth in all circumstances.
This is a short update, but I look forward to letting you all know how training camp goes and keeping you updated from the field starting in just 64 days! Thank you again to everyone who has helped me prayerfully and financially- your support means everything.
