How have I changed from the World Race? Here are some ways…
One of my friends told me that I’m a lot calmer, definitely not as hyper as I use to me. The truth is that being on time matters less to me, I hardly feel like I am in a rush anymore and yet I can still manage to be productive. I don’t feel the need to crank out results for the sake of doing so, but rather I’m more thoughtful about my decisions and whether what I do really matters.
I have a newfound passion for dancing. This year was the first year where I had the opportunity to express myself through dance, primarily hip hop. I’m very much interested in taking dance classes and have found some in Oakland and San Francisco already. When you give me some hip hop music (aka. 99.7), you have my ears- I’m awake and it’s like I have shaky leg syndrome.
God has set me free from many sins and struggles. You can ask me about this one and hear part of my story J .
I’ve developed an interest in the prophetic and healing ministry. I’ve just been learning a lot more about the Holy Spirit this past year and there’s many things I don’t understand which is why I’d love to be mentored in both of these areas.
Trust. I can trust people and God in a greater capacity than I have ever before. I actually believe that people will support me and that God really does love me. I’ve had the sweetest community that I’ve ever had in my life. Thanks to Team MalachI- I love you guys and miss you guys very much.
Love the oldies. I’ve developed more of a heart for the elderly. I think God started cultivating this in Kenya. I wasn’t sure if it was a spiritual attack when I started having dreams of others’ aging and dying, but I had been praying into it since month six of the World Race.

Oh and being back this past week, I forgot that I actually have a cell phone now so I often forget to carry it. I sometimes forget and think the toilet paper goes in the garbage can and not the toilet. I forget I’m suppose to have better personal hygiene (instead of showering just once a month…Just kidding!!). I hate shopping because everything seems so expensive in the U.S. – gasp, a shirt for $10+ that’s ridiculous! I’m so behind on what technology exist nowadays. The truth is home doesn’t really feel like home- since I’ve been moving so much, it feels like I’m going to be moving again in a few weeks even if that isn’t so.
