Be Present Here…..

On June 14th, my baby sister was injured in a car accident. Her injuries are severe and we are blessed to have her on the road to recovery. It is a LONG road. 

I didn't know what to do! June 30th was quickly approaching, and my baby sister is so hurt. 

Could I launch? Sure.

Was that the right decision for me? No

It was a difficult decision. Lots of tears. Lots of prayer. Lots of talks. It took me close to a week, but I finally emailed my squad mentor. I still didn't know what to do. I had done everything. I met my amazing squad, formed amazing bonds. I love my f squad!! 

BUT…

My sister. My family. Need me. And I need to be here.

 If I launched now, my head and heart wouldn't be fully in it. Half of me would be at home. The people I would have met on the field deserve ALL of me. 

Just like my family, here now, need all of me. 

So I made my decision. God said to me, "Be Present Here" Be present here at home, then be present on the field. 

But, I worried. I worry that I let my squad. I worry I let my leaders, my trainers, my supporters down. Everyone, including me, expected me to leave for 11 months on July 3. That's what we all prepared for. 

…..LIFE NEVER ASKED ME WHAT I WANTED…. 

God plan doesn't always make sense to us. My World Race journey CERTAINLY doesn't. My World Race journey began in 2011 and STILL isn't over. But that's ok, because I just need to BE PRESENT wherever God has me, even if it's not where I expected. 

I have the choice to launch in January or next July. I haven't decided yet. 

I WILL GO ON THE WORLD RACE!!!! I just don't know when.

 It's not about me and what I want, it's about HIM and HIS PLAN. 

PLEASE JOIN ME IN PRAYING FOR MY (F)AMILY AND ALL OTHER JULY SQUADS!!!! 

Thank you so much for all the love and support through this long World Race journey. 

STAY TUNED…..ITS NOT OVER FOR ME YET!!!!!!!!
