WOW! hey….
I cannot believe this is actually happening!! In just a few months I will be leaving good ole Minne-SNOW-ta for 6 months to South America. I’ve been thinking really hard about what my first blog should be about, all about me? why I chose the WR? Or just be completely honest and share how I feel about all of this? (ding ding ding #3)
I am unbelievably excited for the journey ahead; I am excited to see God provide while I’m at home and can’t even think about how good He is going to be once I leave. While all of this excitement is filling me up my heart is sad to leave. For those of you who know me know that I teach preschool, for those of you who know that you know how much I love it. I think the scariest thing out of all of this is leaving my kids. I’ve grown through them and although they are so young, they’ve made such a BIG impact on my life.
One thing I’ve learned through teaching my kids is how to Love like Jesus. Not just in my workplace but at home, on the bus, downtown, in Starbucks, and in my own heart. I’ve learned to be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. LITERALLY. I’ve learned to walk with people individually because we are all on different paths heading to one destination. I’ve learned to forgive. I’ve learned to not only give Grace but to receive it. I’ve learned to count it all JOY. I’ve learned to see the problem as a problem and nothing else because I know that God is BIGGER than anything that stands in my way. I’ve learned so much but my favorite thing I’ve learned is to love authentically.
Why is it scary? I’ve learned all of those things since I started teaching and I’m afraid its going to get lost once I leave. Not completely but I don’t want to lose my joy, wonder and love for the Lord that I’ve gained because I am not in the same place. I only hope and pray that this love, joy and wonder and all other things I’ve learned will grow so deep that I am rooted and filled.
I’m excited, I’m nervous but I’m ready.
Please pray for me as I prepare my heart and for this fun fundraising process as well as praying for everyone on my team!

Yes, I did make this design!
Why this design? We are all called but not all of us are sent. After spending time in Prayer, I really received this scripture as a “hey Ritz, you are called and I am sending you” (crazy to know but so good) the harvest is ready, people are ready to know who they are and who’s they are.
By buying am item a percent of the profit will go towards my trip!
THANK YOU
