Well hey there, America.
I’m back! I’m alive. I made it.
I’ve just come through a 5 day squad leader debrief, where almost all of the squad leaders got together after coming home. It was pretty cool. Not only to see everyone, but to have the opportunity to celebrate and process everything that we just did on the field.
Cool stuff.
So here I am. Back in America. In a secret location (my parents apartment) while I figure out my next steps.
I have many cool things to look forward to. A new house, a new job, a wedding for two of my amazing squad mates. Honestly, I’m stepping into some entirely new stuff. And I’m incredibly excited about it.
More than that, I’m excited to start a brand new chapter in my life. I’ll be taking over risk management and special projects for the World Race, and I’m jazzed about it. And again, really excited to come back to Adventures and work for the World Race. Glad to be back home in a community I love. With friends that have grown to become family.
But can I excitedly tell you what my excitable self is most excited about?
Change.
My time leading A squad has got to be one of the best journey’s of my life. It took me to new heights and new lows. It taught me so much. They taught me so much. It wasn’t just about leading. It wasn’t just about traveling, or discipling. And it wasn’t just about growing myself. It was about all of it, and more. Soooo much more.
This means that I’m coming back to Adventures a different kind of man. A new kind of man. Some changes are easy to see, some changes are harder to see. Some things I have figured out, others I haven’t. I just know I’m different. If you wanna know what I’m talking about, just ask me!
All that to say, I will not be stepping right back into the swing of things. Picking up where I left off. Moving on from everything that God just did to, through, and with me. That’s not something I want.
What I want is to run with the momentum I have, and never stop. Squad leading does not have to be the singular most pivotal moment of my young life. It can, however, just be a start.
I don’t know what lies ahead, exactly. But I know I want whatever it is. In good times and hard times, I want whatever God is leading me towards. I think I write this half so I can have accountability. And whenever I’m feeling like the lowest of the low, I can look back and remember why I’m here.
I can’t even describe to you how amazing squad leading was. No seriously, I don’t have words for it yet. But know they’re coming. And that they will be eloquent and fantastic.
I think more than anything I just wanted you to know, you devoted who read my posts, that I’m back. I’m ready. And I’m going to do some new and crazy stuff in this next season of life.
Ready to run with me?
… Because if you are I have an opportunity for you. I only have $1,500 left to raise before I’m fully funded for my squad leading trip! Thank you so much! As I’ve said many times, none of this would be possible without you guys!! I have a little ways to go before I can go to all the debriefs for A squad, but I know with your support I can make it!
