This past week has been something of an interesting week for me as I think it has finally hit me that this whole World Race thing is real for I have been experiencing all kinds of emotions, and for me that is a bit out of the norm as I am not a very emotional person to begin with, and I have a tendency to hide my true emotions. But having gone through the World Race process from the beginning, I am amazed at the wide range of emotions that I have felt from doubt that I’ll even get accepted to sheer amazement to excitement , an the “oh crap what did I get I get myself into?” point & being stressed out about preparing for training camp but all is good now as I am still pretty excited about this new adventure and can’t wait to meet my squad in 2 weeks.
One of the questions that I have been asked is “Am I worried at all about going and leaving my cozy life and those that I love behind for a year?”
My answer: No I’m not worried at all because this is just another part of who I am as this is something that I’ve craved to do since I was in high school. As far as leaving my friends and family behind for a year, I like to joke that my parents are used to me being gone for long periods of time as I went to school out of state for 4 years then I lived on the East Coast for 2 summers, plus I have some of my close friends who either live out of state or several hours away, but we still keep in touch.
After all, all worry really is lack of faith as I learned in BSF one year.
These feelings aside however I have been extremely blessed & humbled by the generosity of people in giving to my fundraising efforts. I am extremely grateful for all of them, as well as for all of the emotional support as well that people have done through prayer, and those that have listened to me when I’ve talked about it, and the times where I have expressed my concerns and my doubts about going on the World Race. So once again I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for everything.
You folks are my prayer warriors!!!!!!!! And I’m thankful for all of you!
Til Next time your fellow sister in Christ,
