Month 10 and the thought of going home is a bit daunting. How will I react to certain situations? How will people react to me? I’m not the same person who left 10 months ago.
There are things I miss about home. For example, movie nights with my siblings as we eat Hot Cheetos, M&Ms, and popcorn all mixed together and drink some coke. I miss my little cousins and there are days when I just want to wrap my arms around them and never let go. I miss the sound of my families laughter as we joke around when we all get together. I miss waking up early in the morning before anyone else and making coffee for them. There are a lot of things I miss about home, but yet again I know there are a lot of things I am going to miss when I go home.
I’m already missing all the people who made an impact in my life, these last 10 months.
From this month alone I’m going to miss, walking to the bakery to get breakfast. Taking a bus to church or the school. Sitting in the ice cream shop sipping on coffee, because they have AC and I actually get cold in there. Learning how to make different meals. Our generous neighbors who are constantly feeding us and making sure we are okay. There is so much to miss about this place and there are certain things I miss about each place we have been to.
Home is going to be different when I get back. I won’t see things the way I did when I left.
The last few months I have been asking the Lord, “what’s next?” And He answered back in Malaysia.
What will life after the Race look like for me?
The Race is not over for me yet. In January I will be leaving again for 5 months to alumni squad lead the Fusion route. Fusion is a squad of racers from different nations and cultures. My squad has people from France, Netherlands, Scotland, South Africa, the states and other countries.
I’m excited and can’t wait to meet my squad. The countries I get the honor of serving alongside them are Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and I get to go back to Malaysia and Thailand.
Soon I will be fundraising for this trip. My fundraising account is not set up yet, but if you feel lead to donate, no worries I will let you know as soon as it is ready.
Please be praying for Fusion squad. Pray for vulnerability, teachable spirits, humility, obedience, sensitivity to the Spirit, boldness. Pray for our route and the people we get to share Jesus to. Pray for our families. Pray that we would lay ourselves down and let the Lord lead us daily.
We said “Yes,” and now it is time to GO and live a “Yes” life.
