Moving onward

Where do I begin?

 

I just got back to the Keys after a month-long journey to Missouri.

 

For those of you who don’t know I quit my job and moved out of my amazing place. I’m was in a bit of a panic and needed some change/clarity/reason of what I was doing. Thank God for my spiritual family.

 

I wasn’t happy at my job to the point of mentally breaking down. I talked about it for years to myself but never had the courage to do it. Finally, after a lot of prayer and talks with family, I did it. But I was freaked out right away, so I went and took a yachting course. That was fun and I learned a lot but still wasn’t getting job offers right away so I came back home to the Keys. My plans ran astray when I went up to Ft. Lauderdale about wanting to jump on a boat and work till launch in January. I found out halfway through the course that the training camp was still in October. A lot of my problem is that it’s MY plans and not HIS. So, I came back home and panicked. I had a really good crying session before I formulated some plan. I decided I was going to give up my place of living and head to Missouri and drop off all my things and live out of two or three suitcases. I thought if I get on a boat or leave for WR I’ll have to be prepared for small living. Thank God I have a sister in Christ who has pulled me to live with her and her family until launch (still working on this). I am able to have a steady place where I can breathe and process.

 

I learned a lot about myself while being in Missouri and spending some much needed time with family. I got to see everyone, even if it was just a quick hello and hug. God moved me in some bigger ways through who I am and where do I belong. It’s crazy through this season I’m just crying and falling on my knees to understand what’s going on. I’m not sure what to expect for the future and where He is leading me but I know I need to be here close with Him.

 

That is where I’m at currently. Jobless at the moment and looking for work. Depending on God in this transition of my life to where He is the focus point. 

I’m still fundraising and praying God comes through. He is in control, not me. 

I am excited for… In three weeks, I have the training camp for WR in Gainesville, Georgia. I get to road trip up with a couple of people on my squad and we are going up a couple of days early where we can take it slow and not be rushed! I also have all of my gear for training camp! I’m only a little worried about being cold since living in South Florida for 5 years now. I’m positive the Georgia fall is much cooler than the Keys. I’m excited that I was able to meet another racer, Karis in Springfield, MO! We were able to meet up for ice cream and hike 3 miles a few days later. I’m excited to be home with my church family and grow more. I’m excited that I had quality time with my family. Excited to meet all of my squad and to see what WR has to offer!
