For the most part.
This is probably one of the most beneficial jet lag ever. I feel I can get a lot of work done today.
Training camp was a pretty intense week, and probably one of the longest weeks of my life. I was hungry, dehydrated, dirty, rained on, and tired for most of it. But nonetheless some of the things that God communicated to me were pretty clear in the midst of those things.
First thing first, I no longer feel called to go on this race. When I first signed up for the race I felt that God was giving me an invitation to participate in this amazing journey, but it was a struggle. The prospect of support was dismaying, and I on a daily basis wondered if God had truly call me on this journey. Was this really a calling? Heavens no! When we live in a world that so desperately needs its God, He does not merely call His workers to go out to be His hands and feet. This isn't a calling, its a command!
Visa applications have been submitted and in the next weeks flights will be booked. Things are rolling out. I would like to thank for all those of you who have prayed for me and supported me financially, your contributions have taken me this far. But I am still a far cry from the support raising goal. But since this is God's command for me, I trust it that He will provide for me. Please please please consider partnering with me in this journey. I'll be at home for the next 6 weeks(ish). I would love to meet up with to discuss with you about this amazing opportunity that God has given me, and see in which ways you can become an advocate.
