Month 6.
Never in a million years would I have pictured myself on a journey like this.
I've laughed until my sides hurt.
I've cried until my eyes burned.
Ive shared things I've never shared with anyone before.
ive been knocked down.
Countless times I've wanted to give up.
i constantly make a mockery of his grace.
Ive rebelled time and time again against his love for me.
ive been selfish and preferred myself over my teammates.
Ive tried to do my own thing.
Being a Christian is hard.
Thereve been times where I just wasn't sure it was worth it anymore.
I've questioned the Lord more in the last 6 months of my life
than I had in the last 22 years of my life.
Why would he allow so much junk to take root in my life?
and why am I just now having to deal with it all?
Why do so many horrible things happen in this world?
What am I supposed to do with everything that I've seen so far?
———————————————————————————————————-
Countless times he has empowered me when I had no power myself.
He has helped me tap into the unique creativity inside of me.
He has spoken to me more than ever.
He has renewed my mind.
He has restored my brokenness and used it for his glory.
He continues to uproot everything that is not of him.
He has given me tastes of his gifts.
He has loved me despite myself.
He helps me kill giants.
I've seen things I never would have dreamed of.
Things I wouldn't have been able to see had I not left the comfort of my home.
Perhaps the greatest thing about this is that I wouldn't have been able to do any of this
had it not been for my loving support system back home.
From those of you that have followed me from day one,
or maybe just started following my journey a few weeks ago,
To those of you who are in constant prayer for me
and those who have supported me financially
and those who helped me set up fundraisers,
I am endebted to your kindness.
and I pray rich blessing over your lives.
Sometimes it's hard being on this end.
I find myself wishing I could do more for all of you
to show how grateful I am.
Every little thing matters greatly.
So from the bottom of my heart,
THANK YOU.
i wouldnt trade this year of my life for anything.
I still have roughly $3300 to raise by the end of December,
which is the final deadline.
It would bless me so much if you'd all be willing to spread the word.
share with friends, co-workers, family.
Even if you don't think they'd be interested.
And I'll do the same.
The Lord has brought me this far,
And I refuse to doubt Him now.
He is faithful always.
He's proven that through all of you
that have enabled me on this journey so far.
Blessings in Jesus name to all of you! 🙂

*****PS: my teammate Ally still needs about $2000, and Grayson needs $2600.
Were confident that He will see us through to the end of our Race!!
