During the world race “exposure” I learned how to live in community with people from different backgrounds. I learned that I was not just another American southern girl, but I learned how to be a construction buildin, furniture designin, nailgunnin, sawin, feedbackin, jesus lovin, evangelizin, Holy Spirit prayin kind of girl. I’ve learned to take the days as they come and not to worry about tomorrow especially when I have coffee pouring down my face right now. I’ve learned to find joy in all of it even the hard stuff, sometimes. I’ve learned that being dirty is ok and also how many times I can rewear my clothes without having to wash them. I have learned how to just nod my head when I don’t understand someone’s language. I’ve learned to just mouth the words I don’t know during the despacito song and that it’s ok to just belt out in song. May have been pushin it on a few of those days but that’s ok, nothing a little deodorant can’t fix. I have truly found freedom. Freedom with Jesus is sweet. But really it has been a truly incredible experience that I will look back on the rest of my life. Growing in love and grace and boldness and it won’t stop here.
UPDATE :
so I have been serving alongside a great group of people here in Malaysia. However, now I have the amazing opportunity to continue my mission trip with my team to Mongolia and Sri Lanka. I can not do it alone, I will need all the help I can get whether that’s through fundraising or prayers for provision. I need to raise $3500 by Thursday and $5500 by August. I really believe that the Lord will provide for this and I am putting my full trust in Him with this season of my life. If you feel led to donate or pray please let me know and I’ll hook it up. If you have any questions just let me know! Thank y’all so so much for everything!
