So I’m currently
sitting on a bench in Bucarest, Romania. We will be leaving this evening for Moldova. It’s been nice to have yesterday and today to
relax and prepare us for this next month. I officially feel like the world race has begun because we are learning
how difficult language barriers can be!

Ok so for the real
reason why I started this blog. Yesterday was a pretty rough day for me. I was feel like I was accepted by my team, mostly my team leader and was
dealing with how to move past that. In
our boogie down last night I explained that and after our boogie down we
decided we needed to have a team meeting to discuss how I was feeling. I’m not the one who really likes to be put on
the spot and it got to the point where I didn’t feel loved and that I was being
reprimanded, but that wasn’t the case at all. My team helped me realize that my past does not define who I am and I no
longer have to continue to walk in my past. I made a few points of how I felt. One being that because of my last relationship that after I shared my past
he no longer wanted to be with me, and never really opened up to me. Ralph made a great point that began the
healing process that they already know my past and haven’t left me! I was also worried to open up and really
become a family because I don’t want to get to the end and feel alone, but they
assured me that I will not be alone, and that they plan on being around for
awhile! So after a very tough
conversation Tres asked me to try standing. When I started to stand he said NO I said TRY. I looked at him really confused and then
realized I can’t TRY I just have to DO. So I’m done trying to love people, I’m done trying to be a better
Christian because I am now going to DO. After this realization I decided I’m ready to completely let go of my
past that I no longer will continue to walk in what was my past but I am a new
person walking in the direction God has called me. I’m free!! Freedom has finally come!!

For all those that
have hurt me in the past, weather you know you have hurt me or not, I have
forgiven you! This is always the hardest
part, but thanks to you I will be able to help women around the world realize
that they do not have to be trapped in the past but can move on to the future
and the BIG things God has in store for them.

For those of you who
have not given but still want to give I’m still in need of money to finish the
race! Not including the pledges, and thank you to those who have pledged, I still need around $3,500. Please be praying that I raise the money so that I can finish the race!
