Goodbyes aren’t easy. Knowing that you won’t see someone for a really long time is hard. Sometimes they’re full of tears and sometimes they’re just simple words.
But then there are the goodbyes of a World Racer. It’s so different and I can’t even really explain it.
The weeks prior to coming to launch were jam packed with goodbyes and words of encouragement from others. It was a little overwhelming at times and there were times where I didn’t think I could do it. I couldn’t say goodbye to the kids I take care of everyday. I couldn’t leave my family. I couldn’t leave my friends.
But then I got here.
Seeing my team again and reminding myself what I’m about to do and it who I’m going to do it with relit the fire in me, and I’m more ready to go than ever before.
I’ve been in Washington D.C. for almost 3 days now. They have been full of worship, seminars and quality time with my team and squad. I wish that I could explain what I’m feeling right now. The eagerness. The nervousness of the unknown. All I can really say right now is that I am ready.
Tomorrow afternoon our flight for Ecuador leaves at 3:30.
This is CRAZY!
This is The World Race.
