Looking back I can not believe that I haven’t written in four months! TIME FLIES! During those months I completed my last semester of undergrad and I am finally done with school! Just six months ago I was applying for the world race. In just one month I will be headed to World Race training camp, and in three short months I will be headed overseas!
Whenever someone asks me if I am ready I laugh (because I am not, in fact, ready) and assure them that it is still far away. “I just have to finish school first.” But now school is over it is still hard to believe that in just three months I will be leaving. Leaving family. Leaving friends. Leaving most of my possessions. So far I have had a wall in between me and my fears. Now the wall is gone and I am terrified. “What in the world have I gotten myself into?” – the question I have asked myself multiple times in only the past few hours.
Despite all my fears I know I am on the chosen path. I have already been so blessed by the WR and have seen God work through even the first leg of the process. I am beyond excited to be able to say that I am FULLY FUNDED! It was my prayer that I was funded before I left on the race so that while I was gone I could fully devote myself to ministry. God has blessed me tenfold and allowed me to be fully funded before I even start my summer. ALL GLORY TO HIM. I now will be able to use the next few months to prepare myself mentally to go on the race. I will be able to work through some of my fears and hesitations in order to be even more devoted to ministry.
That being said I would like to ask for prayer. I ask you to gather around me as I prepare to go on this amazing adventure. I ask for prayers for peace and prayers for wisdom.
Lastly I would like to give a shout out to all of you who have donated towards my WR! You are a part of my journey and it is only because of you that I am able to continue down this new and exciting path. I hope that my journey and my story will be just as much of a blessing to you as the WR is to me.
