The past eight months I’ve been on this crazy adventure with the lord. It’s been a lot of redefining what I thought I knew about myself and the Lord. He has wrecked all of what I found identity in and who I thought he was and allowed me to take him out of the box I had put him in.
He’s shown me what I’m actually gifted in and how I use that. That the things I’m gifted in are not just something to use for myself. And before the race I didn’t really think I brought anything to the table. Because I wasn’t doing big things bringing tons of people to Christ, I didn’t think I was gifted. I was lost in comparison in thinking because I didn’t have that gift that that person had I wasn’t doing anything. The lord has revealed to me that I do carry influence. I always have. He’s shown me in the past year how to step into it. He’s showing me how to step into who I already am.
Before leaving, I expected to figure out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life during the race. But it’s month eight, and I still have no clue. And I know now that that’s okay. The Lord is taking me places in his timing and putting me where I need to be when I need to be there.
So this coming fall I’m going back out on the field as an Alumni team leader for this years gap year squads! I’ll be with my new squad for the first three months of their race leading them in what the lord has taken me through this past year. I am so excited for this opportunity to disciple the next generation of world racers, all while being poured into and growing in my leadership. I know the Lord has big plans and he’s speaking A LOT of freedom over this season. He’s brought me to a place where I am confident in the influence and gifts I carry and how I can use that with others to build the kingdom!
For the three months I have to raise a total of $3000. I have no doubt that that lord will provide. If you would like to support me or ask more about what I’m doing, please reach out to me! You can also donate on my blog, just like before!
I’m so expectant of what this season holds and I would love if you would pray for me as I finish this race and begin to prepare to go home!
