Hello everyone!
I’ve been sitting here at work reading the last couple of blogs to be posted by current racers, and thinking. Thinking about how I need to quit stalling and write my first blog EVER. (My bio doesn’t count.) I can totally relate to people who haven’t written much or who have discussed their struggles and insecurities with being so open and real on the internet.
Except.
My resistance to blogging (which is like forcing a child to eat her carrots at the moment) stems from the opposite problem. I have TOO MUCH to say! I love to tell stories, share my heart with people, and share my struggles with anyone who can bare to listen. I am that person. You know. The one who has a story (or song) that relates to everything and tends to dominate the conversation.
With this in mind, I am also slow and deliberate in making decisions. When I sit down to write, especially if it requires formatting or if it is a subject close to my heart, it takes me a while. The details matter. You don’t wanna know how long it took me to make my bio say and look like that.
So here I am.
And there you are, maybe wondering who I am and why I’m here. This you will come to learn over the following months.
Now what? What can I say that won’t put you to sleep or be too wordy or be irrelevant?
I can say I have started to raise support! I will be posting my support letter on here soon. If you are interested at all in supporting this ministry or learning more about what you would be supporting, please select Support Meand/or Contact Me.
I also need at least 15 prayer warriors to commit to praying for me weekly. If you are interested please Contact Me.
To share some of my current excitement with you, I got most of my camping supplies for Christmas! Major thanks to my mom for making that her trip donation/Christmas present. I have already slept in my new sleeping bag the last two nights (yes, in my bed and not on the ground). It’s so comfy. I also set up my tent on Christmas day and it took probably about 5 minutes, if that. I will post another blog soon with pictures and info about my camping supplies.
Other than that, I am already starting to see God move in new ways in my life as I prepare for this trip! I really appreciate the blogs by current racers as they are helping me focus my thoughts on, and give my fears to, God. I am able to read these blogs and know what I have to look forward to. Being in the will of God instead of observing from the sidelines.
This is what I hope to be doing. Going back to the basics. Keeping life simple instead of letting religion muck it up, and learning to live life as God intended it to be lived. Learning to Breathe.
