In a short month, a momentous occasion will occur, my world race anniversary.
Last January, I took off on a crazy adventure with O squad.
It was an adventure I never thought God would call me home from early.
Its been almost 5 months since I left the race (remember I left month 6).
In a few short days my squad will arrive in LAX.
I will get to see my team (LEGO), who by the way is still currently intact (minus me of course).
As I type this blog, I am wonderstruck!!!
How the heck did 5 months go by so fast?!?
How the freak did I get where I am?!?
Wait where am I?!?
Oh yeah! WONDERSTRUCK!!!
I am amazed at my life now in reflection of how I thought my life would be after the race.
God blesses obedience!!
It’s safe to say, the biggest thought when I left the race was, “you’re making a mistake! you will regret it in the long run”
Not everyone had this opinion. I had a lot of support. However statistically, more were opposed to my decision that in support of it.
5 months later, I can say, I have no regrets!!!!
Was it tough??
Hell yeah!!
Did it suck at times??
DUH!!!
In the end, God has blessed me tremendously!
So where am I?
I am working full time for the beloved school district I left to go on the race!!
Talk about God’s blessings, 2 weeks after I left the race, I was informed the lady who took my position when I left quit. Note: I had already been offered another job with another district. In light of this lady quitting & the district finding out I was back in the states, I was asked to return to my position. BAAM! Okay!!! Yes please! (If you know me, you know the students I work with are very dear to my heart).To put some sprinkles on that topping, in October I was given a full eight hours (I was working 5.92 hrs). Working 8 hours for a school district is something that is very coveted, and a lot of people work years towards. To God be the Glory!!
If you’ve read my blogs about leaving the race or were with me when the decision was made. You probably remember me saying, I don’t know what God is doing. I just know I have to obey him.
Sometimes he asks us to follow him even when it’s hard!!! But trust him, HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING!!!
Where Am I?!?
I will be starting a 3 year journey in August.
This journey is called grad school!
WHOOP WHOOP!
I am currently working on finishing up everything I need to do before August ( 2 prerequisite classes for my program, GRE, CBEST).
I will be entering the School Psychology/School Counseling program. After 3 years of hard work I will have my M.S and dual credential.
This is a very exciting step for me.
On the back of my High School Graduation ticket I wrote my educational goals/dreams/tribute to my dad.
It said: I will get a masters degree and break the cycle of poverty in my family.
Thank you God for reminding me of my hearts desires!!
Where am I?!?
Literally speaking, I am at Starbucks sipping on a White Mocha, looking at the sign across the street.
It reads: Travel Plaza (Gas Station)
To be honest, my heart beats to travel the world.
God has called me to be a missionary. To live life on the Go!
My journey to impact the world for him has not ended.
God has merely called me to be stationary for the moment.
This moment of being stationary, getting my masters, it is equipping me to serve with the gifts God has already placed in me.
