Sometimes life happens and it hits–hard. The last month has been full of the unexpected and I’ve had a hard time adjusting to being back home. I originally planned to continue my travels for one month before returning home but, in the last month I got sick and had to return home early. But what do you do when life takes an unexpected turn? I’ve been told to slow down, I’ve wanted to give up, I’ve doubted myself a lot in the past few weeks. However, I’ve been reminded of one simple truth–as long as there is breath in my lungs, I must persevere.
On the Race, I went through a journey like never before. Having the privilege to travel to so many different countries in one year is a once in a lifetime experience that I most certainly cannot take for granted. I witnessed countless miracles, made extremely special connections, and I was completely transformed because of it.
During my final month I attended an amazing festival. My eyes were opened to a new characteristic of God. I further explored the notion that perhaps the character of God truly is equal parts male and female. He becomes what we need in the moment we need it. What an amazing concept to think about! In this process of putting broken pieces back together, I am learning to just let go of control and trust God fully. It’s a bit of a scary process, but it’s good. The point of any pain and suffering is growth so as I grow, the further I can lean into God’s grace.
I’m back home now with a bit of a fresh start. If you have tried to contact me please shoot me an email because I have a new number.
Most importantly, I want to give a HUGE thank you to all who have supported me this past year, I couldn’t have made it through without you and your love and encouragement. I couldn’t say thank you enough. Please join me in prayer as I turn this new leaf in my life!
Much Love,
Stella
