My time on the Race is dwindling and I absolutely have mixed emotions. One of my awesome squad mates, former teammates, and forever friends put some of the emotions into perfect words (except I won’t be in Scotland like she will be).

Preparation for the starting block
So in 7 weeks time I will be back in Sunny Scotland (I’ve missed the cold more than I thought I would) this has brought about so many different emotions. I can’t wait to see my family/friends and share about this year, I’m also super ken to hear about what’s been happening back home.
But I’m very sad that this season is coming to an end. It’s went so fast and I want to think that I have embraced every moment. Anyways I’ve came up with a good picture of what this year has been.
This whole time I thought that I was part of a “race” and now in the final 2 months you could say I can see the finish line. But what if these 11 months weren’t even the race. What if this year has been the preparation that takes place to get me to the starting line. That now I am getting ready to run my race, that I’ve spent the last few months training and now I’m ready. Yes there has been days when I feel under prepared and not ready but now I’m ready to take on any huddle that comes my way because my training has been based on a foundation that will last forever.
This gets me excited for what’s next. Life is a beautiful adventure, you don’t have to be travelling the world to experience that. You could be going about your daily routine and seeing the joy in the small things. I want to encourage you if you are a racer making those preparations for going home or a racer who will be launching soon and even those who are going through changes. Preparation is important, CHANGE is good. Life is full of seasons, embrace them. And guess what GOD IS GOOD
