Here is a short little update from my last blog:
My last blog post was a plea for prayer. It was a cry for comfort and it was a bunch of confused words put together to make a “blog”.
This blog is not going to be like that. This is going to be a blog about revelations and confidence.
The past 3 days, I have spent some really good time with God and with friends. Getting to chat with friends who have been on the race and who are currently on the race has made my heart settle so much anxiety. Getting to chat with the Lord about who I am and what I am doing has eased a lot of the discomfort I was feeling.
Between training camp and now, I kept saying, “I’m ready.” The context of those 2 words were I am ready to leave the country because this time is too hard. It is hard to say goodbye, it is hard to pack your entire life for 9 months, it is hard to be prepared to be gone from everything comfortable for so long. I was ready to just go and get going.
Now, I am saying, “I’m ready.” But this time, the context is so very different. The “I’m ready” now means that I feel confident enough to do this. I feel worthy and called. I feel like I can do it. I feel like this is what I am supposed to be doing and I CAN DO THIS.
These next 9 months are not going to be easy. But God doesn’t call us to live an easy life. He calls us to live a life glorifying Him in all that we do. And I can do just that.
Prayer Requests:
We leave in 4 days!! In 4 days, our squad will all be together in Atlanta preparing to depart for Ecuador. Please pray for safe travels to Atlanta.
We are working with Inca Link in Ecuador so please pray that we listen to what the Lord is telling us to do when we get there.
Please pray for the squad mates that have not yet met their financial goals.
Please pray for our families to feel comfort with our leaving.
This is my last blog in the United States!! I am so grateful for every single prayer, support, love, that you have shown me. I would not be here if it wasn’t for each and every one of you. I am so thankful for you sweet friend.
