The world race is about the little moments.
Those moments when you play with a child so her mom can have some good conversation and healing without having to pay attention to her childs needs. The moment when you realize that playing with a beautiful child is your purpose in that moment.
When you surrender it all to God because you know that his route for your life is much better than one that you could ever plan.
Sitting in the courtyard in the morning with a few friends, before anyone else wakes up, each individually digging into Gods word and journaling. The quietness of the morning with a cup of coffee and meeting God right where he is at
Eating Papusa (an amazing Salvadorean dish made of tortillas that have cheese and beans fried into the middle) on the street.
Trying to have a skype conversation when the churches loud worship practice music is so loud you cant even hear your self think.
Riding in the back of a half size pickup truck with 9 other teammates for 2 hours, when your legs have no room to move and you are so cold without a jacket that you are fighting for warmth.
Sitting in a hair salon getting your part of your hair dyed purple for 3 dollars, just because. As your teammates find healing and freedom in the process.
The moment when you are trying to talk to someone and an advertisement truck drives past allowing your words to not be heard.
The moment when you are going to do ministry in a hospital and your adopted dog follows you inside and nobody inside the hospital freaks out or even seems to mind.
This month was definitely about the little moments. And I am starting to think that is what the race as well as life is all about. The moments of joy, of pain, of tears, of redemption. It is about holding on and embracing where I am supposed to be and living it to its absolute fullest. Although big moments do happen in life, it is not about waiting for those or praying for another one to happen soon (although those are great). But it is all about embracing and finding joy in the little moments. This year I know will definitely be all about the big and the small moments and I am ready for them all!
Also I only need about $2000 to be fully funded and be able to stay on the race. So if you are able to support me at all I would greatly appreciate it. Email me at [email protected] or click the support me link on the left! 🙂 Thanks
