Hey everyone I hope you are doing well. I know it’s been a very long time since my last blog but I’ve been very busy. We are now in Costa Rica nesting the end of our race, and I’ve spent much time reminiscing about what God has done in my life these last few months specifically this month. In September when we first arrived on the first night, I sat in my tent, got 3 hours of sleep that night, and didn’t realize I was talking to God, I just thought I was thinking out loud to myself. One of the main things we talked about was when I said “ God take this season and change my life, I know it’ll hurt and I don’t care, just change me I don’t want to go home the same, I’m ready for whatever you bring.” And he aptly responded “ No, you’re not, but let’s get started.” And he kept good on his promise. The kid who came to Gainesville in September is gone. He is unrecognizable. When I came I thought I wasn’t capable of conversing with the lord and hearing his heart and now I do it daily. It is all through home I have achieved this growth. And as he said I wasn’t ready, and it did hurt, but it’s been done. this time on the race has changed my life forever and I won’t say I’m happy to go home, because these last months ministry has been guided and controlled by those above me. Now that I go home God is unleashing me and my squad to change the world and continue growing. Like a tree we all branch off on our own path but the roots all lead to the same place. I truly love my squad and it will be hard saying goodbye to them. Harder than I would’ve thought in September, that’s for sure. I just want to point glory to God in this season and encourage you all to seek his face first, the rest then will come.

  1. It’s amazing to look back on all God has done in and through you this year, Alex! So thankful you gave God the biggest yes.

  2. Alex, I love how God made it clear: “No, you’re not [ready], but let’s get started.” He is gentle with us that way and He won’t leave us to ourselves. He is shaping and molding each one of His children all the time. I’m so grateful He’s not done with me yet! Thanks for sharing. I’m keeping you in prayer through debrief and the transition home.

  3. Praying for you today, brother! Remember to keep that communion with the Father. Don’t let the enemy to sneak in his lies. I’m proud of you, Alex. Now that you’re home you can “un-screw” your leg up. Literally.
