I am so thankful that I have a wonderful community.
My friends from Mosaic really reminded me today about how
IT’S NOT ABOUT ME.
Asking for help in prayer and through a financial donation has been really hard for me to tell the truth.
But it is necessary for me to give my life away this year.
This trip isn’t about traveling. I honestly don’t care about traveling to see the great sights in the world.
My desire to journey on this global mission isn’t about making myself feel good about myself.
It isn’t about taking a year off of work.
It isn’t about living it out while I am young (you bet I’ll do some crazy things when i get older)
Why the heck would I backpack the world and carry a tent and live off about $7/day on food, lodging, transportation…etc with crazy bugs and diseases? Peeing in the bushes, eating lambs head soup maybe..err..
It’s about changing the world. I feel as if I can make a difference. Taking a year off my life without dating, good food, comfyness, entertainment and everything else IS worth it because this life is not about me.
Although support raising has been extremely difficult. Uncomfortable to the point where I want to run away sometimes. I just need to tell myself- it’s not about me. I am doing something that’s making a difference in the lives of the marginalized- that’s why I want to go, that’s why I need to go. I need to share the message and love of Jesus. I need to be the hands and feet that’s real, that cares, that brings practical help- not just the words “I care” It needs to be real. That is why I am going.
Ghandi had said “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
Please, please, please support this mission, which isn’t about me. Be a part of changing the world with me. Where you can’t go, I can and will go. Please support me in prayer and by making a donation.
I’ve currently raised $6,400 and need your help. I need about $9000 to leave by Dec 31st, but I want to raise all of it so that can focus on just my work abroad.
Thank you so much for those of you that have been generous to me in your prayers and donations. I am being transformed by this process leading up to the World Race. Challenged to act despite my fears. Stretched to see how imperfect I am in my selfishness and character flaws, but pushed to move beyond that and to not look at myself- to look at Jesus and who he is looking to love today.
