Friends, Family, Supporters, Blog Stalkers (it’s okay, you can admit it, I am one of these too):
I have been fasting from the internet this past week, as you could maybe grasp from one of my blogs last week, I was ready to give up on The World Race … it was hard, it wasn’t comfortable, it wasn’t where I wanted to be, and I was just having a pity party. It’s okay, they happen occasionally, God knows he made women to be emotional sometimes, but He also made us to be resilient. He made us women of strength, women who can stand up even when they don’t want to and keep going. That is what I have done this past week, I have refocused. I have gotten back on the same page with God and I have really been loving on my team, and really just enjoying living with them. We had English Camp this week and I was actually able to do ministry that I loved … teaching, who would have thought that would be my favorite? AND … Icing on the cake, I got to ride a horse, not just be walked around by a guide while I sat on a horse, but I got to actually just go out in the field and ride!
All that to say, the Lord has done a complete 180 in my life here on The World Race, and He has brought me to a place of truly seeking Him more and more each day! Each day that I seek Him more, I am able to pour out more into the lives of my teammates and the ministries we are a part of … I’m not ready for this to be over. I’ve made a Video Blog to share with you a little more of my heart right now, I will have a more edited video for you soon from our time in the Philippines and Thailand, but until then here’s a raw cut of me expressing my gratitude to each of you!
