I am officially saying good-bye to the World Race. After much prayer and talking with the Lord, I believe He is leading me to pursue something else at this time. This all came about when I ran out of money just before I was scheduled to come home for my best friend’s and brother’s weddings. I thought it would be irresponsible of me to continue on the race with no personal money. I prayed and asked the Lord if this was a sign that He was leading me somewhere else. I believe that it was.
I am now planning to do something the Lord told me about six years ago. That is, start my own ministry. I know that my heart and my passion is in Mexico. I’ve known this since we left Mexico in January, and I missed it terribly. I lived in Matamoros, Mexico for about a year in 2005, and fell in love with the people and the culture. I now feel burdened for the people in southern Mexico where we lived in January. Once my ministry is established, I plan on going back down there to work with the people.
I am going to miss my team and all of the World Racers so much. I truly feel like I got to take part in something great, and I became part of an awesome family. But now, I feel the Lord is leading me down the path that He has already laid out for me. I can’t wait to see what happens and where He takes “Cry of My Heart Ministries.”
I love all you crazy world racers and cherish all the times we had together! You are an amazing group of people!
Thanks to all of my supporters and friends who supported and prayed for me on this race. I couldn’t have made it as far as I did without you. Please continue to lift me up in this new journey the Lord has me on.
God bless you all!
