I am blessed

I am loved. I think God has been trying to help me realize this for awhile. The past few years Ive been learning to love myself and the person God created me to be. I feel loved. I can say that and actually believe it. I used to say it and not completely understand it or fully let myself be. I was ok doing the loving but not expecting much in return.

This World Race process is showing me that I am beloved by my God and by so many more people than I could ever imagine. People I don't even know are donating to help me fulfill what God is calling me to do.

I am loved.

Well, maybe I should say I am blessed.

I am blessed to have a God that has told me where to go.

I am blessed with a family who loves me for who I am and through time has tried to understand my passion to serve.

I am blessed to have a job and a boss who when I told her about the World Race said "This is amazing. This is a life goal."

I am blessed to have an amazing church family at MPUMC, where I truly feel loved.

I am blessed to be a part of an amazing worship service, the HUB, where my peers and leaders continually support, challenge, and encourage me to bring the kingdom to the world.

I am blessed to have amazing friends, The Paschalls, to let me stay with them until my World Race adventure begins.

I am blessed by all the friends, family, and strangers who continue to send in financial support.

I am blessed by so many prayers that I feel daily.

I could go on and on for so many more blog posts. But I wont. I'll leave you with this.

I never knew in the going I would find such peace. I pray that God continuous to bless this journey and all my squadmates and all the persons praying along side of me.

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord! Thanks be to God!
