Welp, I have been in Gainesville, Georgia for roughly 22 days now.
I am captivated daily by the beauty here. The backwoods of Georgia are lined with trees, rolling hills, and extravagant houses. Every time I get in a car I am so in awe and I am filled with joy from all the colors.
It is such a blessing being here, truly.
I live in a beautiful house that usually has at least twenty people running around in it. The men and women that I am surrounded with are so weird and so in love with Jesus at the same time. We have a beautiful dining room table, yet we always choose to eat standing up around the kitchen just to be all together. We are quickly becoming family.
It's beautiful, and crazy, and hectic, and sweet all at the same time.

I am working with Adventures in Missions in the World Race department. I am literally doing all of the things that were my least favorite thing to do on the race, plus more things that would fall into that category. But, it's good.
It's logistical/detail things. I am tracking the support raising, handling receipts, sending out weekly visa reports, and managing the finances for a squad that is currently out on the field in Swaziland.
The details and little things of life and I are beginning to become better friends. I am slowly seeing the necessity and the importance of them. Usually, my head is in the clouds, seeing visions, casting visions, and searching for depth.
Now, my papa is stretching me and inviting me to see Him in the details. He is showing me the importance of finding Him in the mundane and in the things of this earth.
I like it! I am serving this organization, the racers on the field, and the kingdom in ways that I haven't before. It's such an honor to pour back in to the atmosphere that transformed me.
