Time is such a cool thing. We use it every day. We have a certain time we wake up, go to work, eat lunch, get off work, watch our favorite TV show, and go to bed. As we get older, time goes by so much faster. The years seem to go by quicker the older I get. We are already in Month 3 of the World Race. Wow! Time flies, am I right? I used to think that time heals all wounds. The further away in time you get from an event, the easier it is so that automatically means healing, right? I’m learning this isn’t true! God is our Healer, not time(shoutout to one of our mentors in Jaco, Amanda, for this truth).
I talked in one of my last blogs about my ex-boyfriend and my great-grandma that passed away in December 2017. I realized recently that I haven’t healed from those events. I allowed time to cover the wounds. I didn’t actually let myself feel the emotions and then let the Lord heal those things. So what does it look like to grieve two deaths a year after they happen? I’ll have to keep you updated on that.
Fundraising update: I am currently over $11,000 which means I am less than $2,000 away from hitting $13,000! I need to hit this goal by the end of the month to not be at risk to go home! Please prayerfully consider donating! The Lord is working through my squad and I in the three countries we have been to already! In Costa Rica, we have been doing manual labor at Ocean’s Edge ministry(where we are staying) to make the property better for future teams and we put in tires at the park to make a soccer field! We head to Panama tomorrow so be in prayer for safe travels!
