I know Memorial Day Weekend has passed and a lot has happened between then and now but this blog serves a purpose.
I arrived in Gainesville, GA on Memorial Day Weekend and got to see the faces of some of the people from my squad. The next day they were headed to the river to go kayaking and though I didn’t want to go, I chose to because I wanted to spend time with those people before they headed back home. The night before I told them I was not going and then I was, the next morning I told them I was then wasn’t then finally decided to go.
It started out pretty fun but I was pretty far behind as I paddled along. I then had moments where I got stuck on rocks and flipped my kayak. After flipping my kayak the first time, I wanted the trip just to be over and by the second time I was done and willing to trail blaze back to the vehicle and wait for the group.
But the group kept on encouraging me and pushing me along and I finally made it to the end. (I plan on telling this story more in depth once I have the time.)
Why am I telling you this story?
I think this applies spiritually to what is going on within me here. When AIM first asked me to lead a team this summer I hesitated. But after much prayer, I could feel God calling me here. I have already had days where I am scared, miss my family and just wish I were home, wondering why I came in the first place. But through the encouragement of my team, I am standing strong and I know that I will make it to the end.
Be praying for me, that God continues to remind me why He sent me here. I also still need support to pay for some finances at home. Would you prayerfully consider supporting me? If you would like to support me, click here.
Thanks and God Bless!
