This has been a week full of nostalgic flashbacks and tears! Three weeks until I ship out and the to-do list is getting smaller and smaller each day. Who knew how many trips to Wal-Mart a soon to be World Racer would have to make!! I am starting to slip out of dreading my next few weeks and into enjoying it. Saying goodbye to old comfortable seasons and relationships is hard, but I know that there is something out there that I must be a part of. Thank you all so very much for your continued prayers! God has been so faithful in meeting every single need lately. There have been some great financial troubles for me in the last few months and while my trip is fully funded now, I personally am not. Between gear, shots, odds and ends, and bills my savings is gone. Leaving me with very little money for the next 11 months (From my research most racers plan to have at least $1,000 for personal expenses for the year of travels). While the setbacks are scary, I totally trust God. I don’t know it will happen but it will. I will have everything I need and it might not be all that I want but God knows what I need in this next season of my life so I trust that He will provide everything and then some. I am learning that my independence is not always a good thing and that it has crippled me over the years. I have learned to depend on myself and never anyone else and least of all God. That is so far from where my heart should be. I am having to go through some training with the guidance of the Holy Spirit to teach me how to depend on Him instead of myself and also how to ask for help. I never doubted that God would get me fully funded before December so I won’t doubt that I will leave home with all the finances necessary to have an epic year! Also, I have a ton of t-shirts left and I don’t want to leave home without selling them! I paid for them out of my own pocket!! So needless to say I would love to sell them all 🙂
Email me if you would like one!
Thank you!! XOXO
