For about a week now, I’ve been sitting down at my computer everyday and staring at a blank screen trying to come up with just the right thing to put in this blog.I’m not sure why I feel the need to package everything so neat and tidy, because let me assure you, life (as well as this journey) is anything but! And so, everyday I fail. So today I decided to just write what I know, here’s the real deal.
I got to spend a few days away from the craziness that is my life right now and enjoy the beautiful Colorado scenery last weekend while celebrating two very special people starting their life together! It was a much needed break with friends and family and a great time to catch my breath, it allowed me to come back with my thoughts gathered and hit the ground running in my preparation for my new WR route.
As of this week I can proudly announce that my route is no longer known as January 2015 route 5, we are now and forevermore Q Squad!!! I can also announce that my new training camp dates are in and October 11-18 I will be in Georgia meeting and bonding with the amazing Q Squad! God continues to amaze me as He guides and provides in this journey, there was never a doubt, but it’s made so clear in these situations just how unworthy I am of all that He lavishes on me. I pray I’m able to express and extend that amazing love, mercy and grace to everyone I meet on the race in a way that does it justice!
With my new training camp dates come new fundraising deadlines. The tangible donations and support are a HUGE blessing, but please remember that the biggest way you can partner with and support me is through prayer! Prayer for provision, for strength, endurance, courage, trust and prayer for a continued commitment to the path God has laid before me and the people who will cross that path.
There are 2 ways to support me through tangible gifts, one is to visit my registry at http://www.myregistry.com/public/jenn-chacon to help make sure I have all the equipment I’ll need for my 11 month journey. The second way is to click the Support Me tab to the left of this post which will help me meet my deadlines, which have changed to the below dates and amounts:
$3500 – Due 9/27/14 (two weeks before training camp)
$7500 – Due 12/18/14 (two weeks before launch)
$11,000 – Due 4/1/15 (end of 3 months on the field)
$16,242.60 – Due 7/1/15 (total due at end of 6 months on the field)
Thank you to everyone who has already supported me in so many ways, I couldn’t do it without you! Love you all!
In His Strength
Jenn
