Things are getting started quick on the World Race. Stories are beginning to pile up, before telling those I must go back and thank the people who have given me the opportunity for every story out here.
Now, Im not sure what it is about me and weird situations, that turn into something amazing. But this is definitely one. Dan (the guy interested in the car) followed me home to get the phone # off the “For Sale” sign in my car. Within mins we found ourselves driving his BMW from his house around the streets of Lancaster. We were looking to trade vehicles, but before getting back to his drive way to park his car, the story took an unexpected turn. This friendly stranger is a Christian, not only that, but his daughter was on an insane mission trip, thats taken her around the world (Keturah, she returns in November). That night Dan invited me to his church. From there a friendship began. Days later I applied for The World Race. Thank you so much (Dan & Sue) for helping me get things started and allowing me to be apart of your lives, and also inviting me to guys group 🙂
Getting back from camp nobody had invested in my ability for this crazy idea. 2 min into our conversation about the race you were eager to jump in and help out. Thank you for having faith and following through with everything. You’ve shown me more than you can realize.
Angel, Daniel, Sandy, and Chris! Who are yall!?! How does God work in such crazy ways? Who knew a text invite to a Shikainah conference would bring all of us together? The spiritual lifestyle yall walk with is beautiful. Chris your amazing Love for the Lord is fantastic. “Falling on your face before the Lord” has an all new meaning to me after we laid out in Daniels walk way! 🙂 Sandy you’re legit. Straight legit. I’ll miss you. As August rolled around and money didnt show up like any of us planned, thank God Angel and Daniel were there. My mind raced with the fear of failure but yall rode the emotional roller coaster with me. As we witnessed God provide. Thank you for calming me down and listening to me talk.
On Craigslist, have you ever wondered what category a “Support Letter” goes under?? Misc, was my best guess. You might wonder if I got any responses to a “Support Letter” for the WR on Craigslist.. Sure did. 45+ spam emails and 1 amazing friend. William. The Craigslist guy lol. Dude. Our friendship is nuts! Your faith in the Lords provision is astounding! Your faith to give everything away with expectation for God to provide for our needs. Thats living out scripture!! Who does that? Most people talk about it, you my friend live it. That kind of faith is contagious! Then God provided the day before I left! How awesome is that? Thank you for being such an example of faith.
If you dont see God in your life, you’re not paying attention. Than again, it helps to be homeless, jobless, broke financially, and forced to trust in the Lord for radical things. Thank God for it all.
