Hi, I will be your Squad Leader!?!

So I have been home over two months now, and I feel like so much has happened. First off, I would like to thank all of you who have supported and encouraged me through this past year. I cannot even put into words all that I learned and experienced, but know that my life was changed forever in those 11 months. Since I have been home I have been adjusting back to living in the states, visiting friends and family, and basically trying to figure out what to do next.

 

It has been so wonderful to be home, but I have to admit the transition has not been the easiest. The biggest challenge I have faced is waiting on God to show me what the next season of my life will be. On the Race I learned who I really am and what I am passionate about, and now it is time to use what I learned. It seemed like, however, that everything I was pursuing was just not working out. I did not have a peace about anything, and I could not bring myself to commit to anything. I started to think there was something wrong with me. Then within a week, God moved so quickly, and now I am moving forward into the next stage….Squad Leading.

 

Yes, I will be heading back out on the World Race in January as a Squad Leader. After a lot of prayer and confirmation from the Lord, I am fully prepared to venture on this new path. Yes, I am scared and nervous, but I have total peace that this is where God has been leading me since I’ve been home. I see my role as a squad leader as
a way to be there for a group of new racers; I want to challenge them,
support them, love on them – watch as God transforms their lives just as He did with my life. I will be at training camp with the squad, and then travel the first four months with them.  After that I will continue to support and encourage them from the states, and visit them on the field two more times.

 

I am so excited for this opportunity, but I also know from my own Race that this is not an easy path. I will face challenges and decisions that will seem impossible, I will get worn down from traveling, I will fall in love with people and places only to say goodbye…My only comfort is that this is the path God has laid out for me, and that in this I will see His glory shine in the poorest of places, I will see His love in the eyes of orphaned children, and I will feel His Spirit move as He guides me in leadership.

 

 

 

Just like my first Race I have to raise support in order to do this,
so I ask that you would consider partnering with me on this new
adventure. If you are interested in supporting me on this journey, please click Support Me! or feel free to email me.  I would love to talk with you and share my passion for bringing God’s love and light to a broken world.
