Hello my lovely supporters, yes, it’s me and I am sorry for the delay in blogs and responses and by all the confusing posts on social media. I am sure that it is a lot to take in and I’m here to finally explain.
Have you ever found yourself traveling on a road and suddenly that road stops and you can either go right or left… well that’s how it was for me. I found myself stuck with two options, two incredibly hard options. Each road was glorifying to the Lord and wouldn’t have hindered me in any way but each decision had its own future and its own promises.
Early on in the race I was presented with some information that I was praying through, my team, close friends and family knew what that was and I started to gather thoughts, encouragements, suggestions and advice. I decided to bring it to the Lord in prayer for about 5 months. When I got the answer, I knew that it wouldn’t be an easy decision but I knew with everything in me that it was the RIGHT decision. I decided to go home from the race month 9 to be alongside my beautiful sister and to disciple her. It’s complicated and hard to explain but with much thought and prayer it made sense to me and that’s all it needed to make sense for.
I want to make this VERY CLEAR, I absolutely loved the race and I had every intention on finishing it, and even the intention of coming back after my sister’s graduation but that wasn’t an option. I firmly believe that I will be out of the country working in some nonprofit in the near future because I know that God has some big plans for me. I DO NOT regret my decision of coming home, and as for getting engaged that had NOTHING to do with the reason that I am home. That was something out of my control but something beautiful that I didn’t expect. I just wanted to bring those to the light but of course, my friends and family and teammates know my heart behind the decision that was made.
I am so overwhelmed with the support that I got during my decision making. I am grateful for all of my supporters who put their time, money, and energy to making this all happen for me. It has been one heck of a journey! I’ve learned a lot and could talk for hours about countless of stories. I would never take back what I went through and I pray that the Lord continues to have me on the field! God is good. As the transition of being home has not been easy at all I continue to ask for your prayers, for strength, guidance, and patience. Those prayer are much needed!
If I’ve learned anything in my walk with Jesus, it is to be obedient when He speaks and that’s exactly what I did.
I didn’t quit the race I finished the race as God called me to a new season of life.
