Transitions

Have you ever thought about the different transitions we have in life? The transition from grade school to college. The transition from childhood to adulthood. The transition from in love to broken hearted. The transition from believing in Jesus to walking with Him. There are so many different transitions we as humans go through and for me another one is coming soon.

Nine days.

A number that keeps decreasing and becoming so real. I’ll leave this beautiful city I was privileged to call home for sixteen months. A city where I began my own story. I left home. I left my family and friends. I left an unhealthy relationship. I started my career. I learned and grew more than any other year thus far. I often get asked what I think about living in DC. My response always consists of my love for the city followed with “I am leaving at the end of May though.” Of course, it does not make much sense to people. You love a place but you are going to leave it? I do not always know how to respond because in all honesty I am not ready to leave. As the time gets closer it is easy for me to doubt. I often catch myself saying I don’t want to go. I just want to stay in DC and continue on with this comfortable life style. I want to stay at my job, hang out with my friends and stay in my apartment. Then I recite this verse and my mind settles.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”  Isaiah 6:8

The power of this verse did not hit me until after I officially accepted The World Race. Over and over again I want to be able to say “Here am I” to the Lord. I want to be able to say “Here am I” to my squad while on the race. Being able to have that “Here am I” heart starts with me leaving DC. It begins with me having hard goodbyes with my friends, clients, and coworkers. It begins with me crying because of my messy heart and these unknown months to come. It begins with two months in Indiana where in all honesty I am dreading to be. As this next week continues I hold dear to this verse.

Lord Send Me!!

Asking for all the prayers as my heart is heavy, the feels are flowing and the unknown is near.
