Well It’s been a long time since I’ve wrote anything on here. Partly because I don’t really like bloging , and partly because in my mind I don’t really think that people want to read about my life. But in the last couple weeks God has put it on my heart to start bloging again. It’s a good way for me to process thing that are happening in my life, and maybe people will find it interesting, maybe not. It doesn’t really matter.
In the last year since ending the World Race, I have done a lot of things. Some of which I will probably write about in the near future. But I will give a rough description right now. Adjusting from the World Race is a very difficult and hard to explain process.
In Feb. 2010 after spending a couple months at home visiting friends and family, I went back to Cape Town South Africa and stayed with Tom and Cindy Sipling for three months. This was something that I had decided to do while on the Race. My purpose for going there was to simply unwind and talk to God. Now I realize that three months sounds like a long time for that, but it was very much needed, and God used that time to solidify a lot of things in my life. The World Race has a way of turning your world views upside down and I cant even explain how valuable that time was.
I got back from Cape Town in May with no plans for my life whatsoever. Within a week after coming back, God provided me with a place to stay and a job J. Then the next week AIM contacted me asking if I wanted to lead any trips over the summer. So I ended up leading an ambassadors trip to Mexico for five weeks. It was Awesome. God taught me so much through that experience. I mixed in a cross country motorcycle trip too this summer. 5000 miles Canada to New Orleans and back.
In August I got back to MN with not many plans. I just came back because I thought that was where God wanted me to be. Again within a week God provided me with a job. Since then I have been working 50 hours a week and preparing for the next thing in life. A Trip to India and Nepal.
I will write more soon, but basically I will be leaving for India with four other guys on the 17th of Jan. We have a return trip scheduled for May 4th 2011. This is something that I have wanted to do for awhile, and I am really excited about it………… more to come. MT
