Adventures WorldRace SethBarnes Sponsorship Giving

Since I have moved to GA I want to share a bit of what daily life for me looks like…

I live with two awesome roommates, Bethany Holland(far left) and Hope Mendola(to the right). Bethany was on my World Race squad and Hope was on a squad that left right before ours. They both work at the Adventures in Missions office in the World Race department.
They have been a huge blessing in my life. While they have allowed me to stay with them during this time, I couldn’t imagine living any other place now. We have so much fun! We cook and eat meals together as much as we can. It is one of my favorite things about this time. The picture to the right was when we made a meal that was a little spicier than we expected it to be, and we could hardly handle it, most things we do end up lots of laughter.

I also nanny one or two days a week and get to hang out with Tori. Right when I walk in the door that morning she is ready to play. I know kids had energy, I mean I love kids, but this girl has a TON of energy. I love that I get to escape into her world of imagination. It is refreshing to play with her and take a break.

While I have been here I have also had a few jobs. I work at a clothing store, Ralph Lauren Polo Children. I must say I am very glad that I am working at a children’s clothing store because then I can stare at the cute clothes all day knowing that I won’t buy any because I don’t fit into them. So then I see the cute clothes and buy them for people who do have children. =) I also worked at a Mexican Restaurant called Pueblos. I loved the people that I worked with, but had to make the choice to leave because I was hired at Cheddars, and well bottom line in is they were getting more business. I enjoy both of them very much, but to be honest I am glad that they are temporary. While I am meeting new people and making money, I am ready to invest into lives again and be doing something that makes me feel alive.
Which is why it is also great that I live with the roommates that I do and to be involved in the community that is here. I am greatly honored to know these people and call them my friends. Their hearts are amazing and I have learned so much from them in the time being here. They have made a way to have a job by do something that they love, makes them feel alive, and they are making a difference.
For fun I have been taking pictures of my friends, recognizing how much I do still love photography. I have gone on some adventures, as you may have seen skydiving being one. But for the most part just resting and building relationships.
I am very thankful for the place that I am at. The people that I have met and the ones I have gotten closer to. There is still a good chunk of time here and I am not going to waste it.
