I’m writing this with a heavy heart, no no no I’ll be dramatic, a broken heart.
My time with the World Race has come to an abrupt end. Because of the ever present COVID-19, adventures in missions saw it best fit to make the executive decision among the hysteria and chaos and confusion to get all their teams off of the field and back home.
This was not easy news to hear.
This was something we were afraid of.
This is in the mighty hands of the Lord.
It’s kinda of hard to see right not, but the Lord knew this was going to happen way before any of us signed up for this.
When we learned that AIM was sending teams home, we knew it was only a matter of time.
My team had a good talk about how we were feeling and what we were thinking and something my teammate Kylee brought up was a sense of entitlement. Just in case you don’t know what that means; the belief that one is inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment. We deserve nothing. We’ve earned nothing. We have been given everything we have because of Jesus and living for Him means that we have to sacrifice and surrender things we don’t really want to. For this season, that means giving up a really sweet community I’ve known for 7 months.
We are not entitled to 9 months on the field.
We are blessed to have been given 7 months.
I find myself praising and thanking God for the relationships I’ve built and established and will follow me the rest of my days. This has been an incredible journey and I’m sad to see it go so soon but I know the Lord has something magical worked up his sleeve and I’m so expectant that it’s going to be so much bigger than any of us could imagine.
Jesus,
Thank you for a wonderful 7 months. Thank you for my teammates and squad mates and the lifelong friendships I have now. I ask that you be with all of us as we transition from one home to the next a lot sooner than any of us expected. Thank you for each and every supporter who was there through everything. Thank you for being so good to us.
We love and praise your name in the midst of this… amen
All my love always,
Katie <3
