Unfortunately, that is not the case in this blog! Let me explain! In my last blog, I gave you a glimpse into the things I have seen on the Race! The good and the bad! I’ve had the opportunity to witness quite a bit in the battle between God’s Kingdom and the world! I want to reiterate how awesome God is…b/c He is! I mean….we are learning quite a bit! We know that God doesn’t need us..that He is perfect and self attainable….but because He loves us, He wants us and He chooses us! So…it blows my mind that God would use little ole me in His plans to bring Kingdom…in His perfect plans! That I am so blessed to be here in this place and to have seen and witness so much of His glory! That’s the glamorous side of things!
So…here are the not so glamourous moments of the trip:
1. Getting worms
2. The whole squad taking de-worming pills for 3 days
3. Having a runny stomach for 3 or more days straight
4. Throwing up and having noodles come out your nose during that process
5. Being puked on, pooped on, and peed on all in the same day
6. The stinch of trash and other exotic smells that don’t quite leave your nose
7. The joy of tasting “interesting” and “unrecognizable” cuisines
8. Exercising your calves while practicing your squats over stinky holes in the ground
9. Being showered with spit from the pulpit
10. Watching your male teammates not enjoying the ever-loving “thigh grab” of a male contact.
…..and trust me there are plenty more!
So…I’m glad I can share with you!
