Life back out on the field:
IT FEELS SO SURREAL TO SEE THIS COME FULL CIRCLE.
I am back in one of my favorite countries from my race, Cote D’Ivoire, with a brand new team (and squad) of racers.
That’s so crazy to me.
Last year there was nothing that felt like I’d be back here again and yet The Lord knew exactly where I’d be. As I walk in this role co-leading this squad of 30 racers it feels so beautiful to look back on where I was this time last year. I was so sick of running and walking in brokenness, shame, anger, and so many other things that I didn’t really even know what I was stepping into. During my time here in April i experienced a divine encounter with the Holy Spirit and was prompted to pray asking for help to lay the old me at the cross that I was carrying around, who I thought I had to be for the rest of my life, and surrendered my life completely to Him [… again]. That all happened while I was here and while I can’t accredit it to a place but totally to The Lord, it’s still a reminder of how far He has brought me and that’s such a sweet spot to be in.
I knew that I was going to be changed by the end of my 11 month journey but I didn’t think I’d ever be equipped to be chosen to walk alongside others in their journeys with The Lord. At times, I still don’t feel equipped but I can rest assured that I am called and that’s all I need.
The Lord has brought me where I need to be in this season and I’m so thankful that I get to start this out pouring into a group of young women and being poured into by them as well.
I will post more on this journey than I did my last and will be more intentional with responses! If there’s anything you all would like to see more of please comment below!
