It has been 4 months… 4 months since the Race ended. At times it seems like years ago, or like a dream that I had while sleeping one night, and sometimes it seems like yesterday i was eating meat on a stick in Thailand… Weird.
It has been an easier transition home than I expected it to be. i have started to work at Trevinos Gymnastics again. I was a coach there before i left for the race, and I have found them to be very welcoming of me being back. I know that i am not going to be here long, and actually the plan is to move up to Syracuse, NY in June, and work with Dave Brown for a little while, so until then I will be working here. I will say it is really good to be around kids again. After spending a year around them you kinda miss it. I had a little 5 year old girl tell me the other day..” Coach Matt. My mommy tells me that tattoos kill people…” as she looked up my right sleeve at both of my tattoos… and all I could do was laugh… I was coaching another girl and told her to stop bending her knees, and she very seriously turned around and stated,” Mister Matt, God made me with my knees bent!” Oh kids are funny.
Along with this I am trying to help my brother kameronkissinger.theworldrace.org to get ready for the race. He is supposed to 
leave in July and is trying to raise support. He has a very interesting story and i am excited to see What the Lord is going to do in his life this next year. His heart is for worship and really wants to just serve the Lord in faithful obedience. Please pray about supporting him he could use anything you could give. I will be posting a blog about him soon!

Living at home…. it has been bitter sweet. I love my family, but I am ready to move past little Red Oak Tx. I am trying to be a blessing to my parents while I am here though. My dad work opposite hours as my mom and so anytime they can get together I try to let them… This means taking care of my cousins that live with us.
Prayer needs: -I wrote a blog before I came home telling of my fears of what temptations might be waiting for me at home, and I think lust was at the top of that list. Well not saying that lust is not a problem now, but what is a big prayer request is just focus. Sometimes I feel so distracted here and I just need the focus and self discipline to do the things I need to get done while I am here.
– Prayer for Syracuse that i would be in God’s will.
