I LOVE roller coasters! Love them- could ride them all day, everyday.
This World Race Roller Coaster has been the best one yet.
Full of UPS, DOWNS, TWISTS and TURNS.
Things haven’t gone my way. Things have been shaky. Things have been great. Things have been thrilling.
This journey that I am on hasn’t been anything I have expected. My faith has been tested. I have doubted my call to the Race. I’ve almost quit a few times. I’m a planner, I am so Type-A and that’s been blown out of the water more times than I can count and you know what…. I THANK GOD FOR IT. I am so incredibly thankful that it is NOT up to me. I am so thankful that I am NOT the one in charge of the World Race roller coaster. I don’t wanna be. I want to enjoy the ride.
God called me on this trip. He called me to this first step in a lifelong journey of missions. I may not think it’s gone according to plan but guess what? It’s not my plan- it’s His and it’s gone exactly as He planned.
I thought for a while I could plan enough and do enough to raise the money for this trip… NO! fundraisers have been cancelled, they’ve made me less money than I had to pay others, fundraisers have flopped.
I’ve had to give up all control, all plans A LOT! I have a hard time giving up my planner self but I KNOW that His plan is so much better than mine. He knows so much more than I could ever imagine. He knows the end result- the end of this roller coaster- so now I’m along for the ride.
Riding in complete faith of Him who is in charge of my roller coaster. Thankful that His plans prevail and not mine.

Speaking of Roller Coasters.
Pray for me. The emotional coaster has begun as I’ve realized how little time I have left in the states.
I’m overwhelmed with stress, excitement, nervousness and sadness.
It’s time to start saying goodbye to my life in the states. Plans are being made for friend dates before I leave. Weekends are filling up with things to do. It’s the start of goodbye and I’m sad.
But it’s also the start of a new life. In two weeks I get to meet my SQUAD! I love them so much already and I cannot wait to meet them in person and the travel around the world with them. 11 months of hellos await.
It’s a bittersweet, wonderful, thrilling roller coaster.
I’m so excited to be on this ride.
My goal is $10000 by launch! Partner with me and enjoy the ride? Just click the “Support Me” link!
