Hey friends and family! Definitely due for a update.
First of all, I leave in 3 DAYS!! It is actually insane to me how quickly launch is coming. As i’m writing this, I am currently procrastinating packing LOL.
This summer has been crazy busy but the Lord has been so good and faithful through it all. As I’ve been able to slow down the last week or two, I’ve been able to reflect on the Lords goodness through the highs and lows. I’m so thankful that He called me to serve His people and bring the gospel to the nations.
The last few weeks have honestly been the hardest. I honestly was convinced not that long ago I wasn’t meant to go on the world race. But, after a lot of praying and seeking and talking to some people who have been in the mission field for years and have seen both sides of it, I came to realize it was spiritual warfare.
The emotions of leaving everything and everyone behind for 9 months have hit me like a truck to be honest. As it’s finally setting in that I am leaving, every emotion you can possibly feel is coming with it. However, I’m doing my best to stand strong in the fact that I know I am being obedient to the Lord by going to where He has called me and that He has already gone before me to make a way. Going to miss my people with everything in me but I know that it’s just a see you later and that before I know it, it will be May and I will be back home with my family.
I’m not sure if I wrote a blog update about this, but my route has changed once again LOL. This time it was my choice though. It’s a long story but now I will be going to Eswatini, Southeast Asia, Nicaragua, and Guatemala.
Fundraising update!
I reached my donation match goal with FCA which means I am going to be overfunded! The Lord is so good and He will provide!! Through work, photography, and generous giving, the Lord has provided a financial cushion for me which is truly such a blessing to not have to be stressed about money.
Also, have gotten to connect/meet with some more people before launch! Truly such a blessing to go into launch with familiar faces.
Prayer requests!
Peace; over my family, my squad, and me as we transition into this new season. Theres a lot of fear and unknown but I know the Lord’s hand is over it.
Fundraising: for my team, a lot of them are not fully funded yet and will have to continue to fundraise overseas. If you would like to partner with them financially, please reach out to me !! You can text me at 7707142115.
Softened hearts: the next few weeks are going to be tough while going through training. I ask that you pray for our hearts, that we would lean into the Lord and eachother, and that we would stand firm in the Lord and who He is.
The people of each country: As I learn more information about the cultures and people of each country, my heart hurts a bit. Reading what some of these people go through is not something I could even fathom. I ask that you pray that we would be a light in the darkness for them.
SO beyond thankful for you all. If you want more picture updates, follow my instagram @mg.race12
love you all and God bless.
