COVID-19 update. The World Race recently made a decision to send all teams on the field home.
Am I really coming home though? Home will look much much much different than I expected. Home might be waiting at an airport. Home might be in a quarantine. Home might be in a shutdown city.
You know when you make plans and it all seems to change in what feels like a matter of seconds? I was in shock and still am. I felt so caught off guard. I felt disappointed. I felt anxious. I felt speechless.
I wasn’t even ready to talk to God or share the news with anyone at home. But 48 hours after World Race’s decision, I’m ready! As ready as I can be. I wanted to finish the race… and we would’ve officially finished in less than a month and half. But heyyyyyyy, we’re coming to America! Still doesn’t take away all the emotions, but now I’m feeling hopeful and excited.
I spent time with God late last night. And he hit me with something he’s been teaching me throughout Thailand. HERE I AM.
I said to God, here I am. Here I am with all of me, my emotions, my disappointment, my anxiety. His reply is, I AM HERE. I AM. Don’t be afraid. I am the one who sent you and the one who brings you back (Genesis 45:8, 46:2-3).
Thank you God that you wait for me to be ready in my own time. That you draw me to your comforting words. Thank you God that you are the person who sends and brings back. Thank you God that when I show up, you show out. Thank you for being the truth, love, peace that keeps me centered in the chaos.
Please pray for us as we re-enter the US soon on Wednesday. Thank you all for your love and support!
