Throughout the process of preparing for the World Race I have realized I have a pride issue.
I’ve learned that I am too independent and that has hindered me in so many ways. During training camp I sustained an unusual back injury (that I’d be lying if I didn’t think it had a definite lesson and purpose) and was basically useless for a solid three days. During that time I had to lean on my teammates for everything. Literally. I couldn’t carry any of my stuff, I could barely walk, let alone roam around the AIM campus like we frequently had to do.
All of that being said my wonderful squad-mates took me under their wings and helped me carry my stuff, hung back with me as we SLOWLY walked anywhere, and even picked up slack when we had the girls only boot camp. I was shown grace, humility, and so much more out of a simple back pain.
Since then I have began to realize what the Lord was teaching me through that. This next year is going to be impossible if I don’t begin to lean on people and ask for help. Living in constant community I am going to experience so many different issues and my pride has no place there. I have to learn to ask for help.
All of that being said, I am humbly asking for your help and support. I am about $3,500 away from my launch goal, which is due on December 19th. I NEED YOUR HELP. Any amount can and will help. I no longer have time to be prideful. I have to ask for help and I have to be bold. I ask you to begin to think about supporting me.
Thank you all so much for giving already.
The end of the matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride. –Ecclesiastes 7:8
