I’m sure most of you forgot that you subscribed to my blog, or that I even had a blog. Yeah, it’s been awhile since I’ve last updated you, and for that I sincerely apologize. Truth be told, I haven’t made the time or effort to sit down and type out a blog. World Race life is a crazy life, and my schedule is laughable because I never really have a schedule, but I still should have set aside time to share with you what’s going on in my life.
Currently, I’m sitting in my tent in the rain at Mabuya Camp Hostel in Lilongwe, Malawi. I’ve recently found a new level of hatred for ants, and I’m crushing the daily 5 minutes of free wifi that the hostel offers. The World Race life…it’s special.
I’m going to attempt to catch you up on the last few months, but it’s a really long story, so I’m going to have to sum it up (I’ll leave out the boring parts, tedious parts and that whole situation with the leopard.) (Just kidding, nothing happened with a leopard.)
These past two months I was in Zambia and Malawi. I was supposed to go to Mozambique for this month, but that…well that just didn’t happen. Two teams got into Mozambique, while four teams were rejected at the border and had to stay in Malawi for another month (I’m placed with one of those teams for this month.) So this is my second month in Malawi, but it’s already been an amazing month.
It’s been an amazing month because I have seen God, heard God and experienced Him in ways that I never have before, and I honestly didn’t know if I ever would. I am more confident in Him and in Him in myself than I have ever been in my entire life. Things just happen, ya know? Thoughts come to mind, words come to my lips, emotions arise that I know for a fact did not come from me. It’s crazy and overwhelming to know that these things originated from and were given to me by the God of gods, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. I mean, really? Him and me?
I’ve learned more about myself, about God, and about God in me during these past two months than ever before, as well. Squad leading has been the biggest blessing in my life. It has caused me to dig deep into my struggles, my strengths, thoughts, and actions. It has created space for people to speak truth into me and for me to speak Jesus truth into others. Basically, I feel more at peace, more like myself, more joyful, more impactful, and more centered on God than ever before in my life.
Life is good.
