Well, I have been Home since June and I thought that I would write one last blog about being home and about what is next in my life.
It was hard leaving the guys for me. One thing that I had asked God for about a year before I had joined the world race was that God would give me a group of guys that I could call my brothers and other men that I could turn to for anything. God definitely gave me brothers and men that far exceeded what I could imagine a community of men would be like. I miss them more everyday. It’s hard not being able to sit with Layton and talk about life. It’s hard not being able to hang out with Nate and have him buy us food. It’s hard not being able to goof of with Caleb. It’s hard not being able to listen to Sam Haymmond talk. It’s hard not being able to go on an adventure with Sam Troutt. It’s hard not being able to go and get coffee with Caelum. I miss my brothers more than anyone else. But thankfully, we have technology to be able to talk.
Coming home hasn’t been hard for me, nor has it been easy. It’s hard coming back and seeing how broken the people in America are. It’s hard coming back and seeing how people treat each other. It’s hard coming back and experiencing the “American Lifestyle”.
I catch myself making myself super busy and spreading myself out more than I should. I have had to tell myself no to certain things to make sure I have time to process and time to rest. I have caught myself going back to things and habits that I used to do before the race that aren’t the best. But thank the lord, I have been able to recognize that and step away from those things and habits.
I recently moved into my grandparents house. I love living with them. I love the quietness and the peace in the house. I also love that my grandma cooks food for me. haha
I am currently getting ready to leave to go to Rockbridge Young Life camp in virginia. I will be working there for a month as a landscaper. I will also be stopping to see Caleb on my way down. After that I plan on working for a year and getting as much money under my belt as I can. I then plan on going to Morrisville SUNY college and get a Associates degree in Psychology or in some other field. After that, I plan on working for Young Life full time or going to a Christian college and getting a masters in Theology or in Divinity.
Again, all of these plans could easily change depending on what the lord has planned for me. Please pray for clarity and for patience as I start this new chapter in life. I honestly don’t have much else to really say. So, this is my last blog.
God Bless, Trevor Regan
