Woke up at 4am or really I should say – I got out of bed at 4 am as I didn’t sleep a wink. My mind was racing the full night of all the different things that were ahead of me, Yes- the day had finally arrived, the day I’ve been waiting for the last 6 months… leaving for the world race!!!
My last night had been really hard – I repacked my bag 3 times and nothing was fitting I tried cutting my clothes down but that was hard as I don’t have much with me in the first place. Bag is full with things like my tent, sleeping bag n bed!! I was stressed out big time and saying some certain goodbyes was making everything worse! The night ended with me n mum hugging on the couch crying – very overwhelming and emotional I had to remind myself of what I was going for, why I was going and how God had provided everything for me for this trip – there is no doubt in my mind that I am meant for this trip- there is no doubt that I was born for this trip!!
Leaving home and going out to the very unknown is scary and overwhelming but this is when yet again where my trust has gotta kick in!! I am not on my own , I am not doing this for me and my help does not come from myself but from my Lord!! This whole process of applying for the race and now being on the race has all been based on my trust! I think my whole year will be like this! I am now going to be living completely dependant on God! This is a new kind of faith and trust for me it’s scary but exciting – Trusting Him is the way we should all be living out our daily lives – when it comes to being out of your comfort zone – that’s when it gets difficult lol but that’s when it really is real trust – you know that your in he right place!!
Once I got to Florida and finally met up with some squad mates A.K.A as My new family I was at peace, the nerves started to go and all of my fears were gone! God showed up for me and made everything feel right again!!
I know this is not gonna be easy – being home sick is gonna be hard but this is where God has
placed me and knowing that is all I need because I trust Him 100%
So…….Let the adventure begin!!! 🙂
