I’m a feeler.
I am passionate about people. I love people to my core, down to my bone. I’m an investor. I invest in relationships. I give 100%. I’m in it to win it. I’m out or I’m in, no in between. I love and I love quickly.
I have no idea where this blog is going to go, so please bear with me.
I think about the people I will meet along the way on this journey of the World Race. I will be going to 11 different countries. Relationships will be made in each and every single country. My heart already loves you before I have even met you. Your story, I promise I will listen to with open ears and an open heart. I promise I will pour out love on you with everything I have. Before I have even met you I am honored to be a part of your story, a part of your culture, whatever country I might find you in. I will embrace you, love, and meet you right where you are at just as Jesus does with us. I just know, whoever you are, whoever I meet, I won’t want to leave you, and I haven’t even gotten there yet. I’m praying for you, don’t know the number of people, or who you are, but I’m praying for you. That our time together will be sweet, that despite language barriers, love will always win. We are made for human connection and I’m praying to God now that whatever connections are made will be seeds planted . That although our paths may only cross for a brief time, that our paths crossed for a reason.
Gah, so much anticipation I have for the relationships made on this trip. The stories and interactions that are forever going to be etched on my heart. Even down to my own squad mates. The people I am going to be in community with and doing life with for 11 months. People that are going to be life long friends when this journey is all said and done. My feeler heart has all the feels just thinking about, ha. We are made for community. And to have a community that has experienced the journey along side you, man what a blessing that is going to be.
I’m not gonna lie, I often think about what my relationships and community is going to look like when I get back from the race after being gone a year. I often feared what that was going to look like because it’s going to be an adjustment period but I had to push that out. I will not be the same person but I surely hope I will come back and want to pour out everything I am and everything I have learned on the race about who I am and who I want to be into my relationships when I get back and my relationships will be all the better for it.
The reality is life goes on while I’m gone…. Will I be forgotten? This can be a real fear y’all. Legit real fear.
Don’t forget me. I kid kid (maybe….) lol
My feeler heart just couldn’t take that 😉
