A Compass That Only Points North


Genesis 22:17- "I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed."  

I want to share something kinda special with ya guys.. Notice in this verse here the significance of a promise..
Notice that the promise remains the same when your looking up AND when your looking down.. His promise is not affected by the circumstances that surround you. Or me.. 

I am learning about this promise..I am loving reminding the Lord of His sweet promises, and He is loving the sweet communion with me. 

I am really really close to launch now guys! As you read I leave Jan. 7th from Washington! Plane ticket is paid for! Woot Woot! 

Also big news to fill you in with: This is my last week of work! I am leaving the fire dept. and Ems this week and spending my last month here in the states with family and friends. I want to have a little bit of time before leaving to say goodbye..I have a lot to do in the next few weeks, pack, get the rest of my gear, close out my apartment etc... 

These last few months have been a roller coaster of emotions and the Lord has revealed some deep deep things of His heart, and of mine. I am thrilled at the outpouring of many many hearts that have helped contribute to this journey. I am now a little over $9,000 towards my World Race! Only $6,500 before I'm fully funded!

Any of you that still want to become a part of the journey and donate please do! Join my journey and subscribe to my blog! Help support me by donating under the "Support Me" link at devintudor.theworldrace.org, and if you want to become a monthly sponsor for me on the race just fill in that you want to do a monthly contribution or contact me if you are interested in becoming a monthly sponsor for me personally .. FYI: This kind of sponsor would be for when I need toothpaste to brush my teefy's or toilet paper to uh..yeah you get the idea..


My deadlines are as followed:

  • $3,500 - Due 9/29/2012  PAID
  • $6,500 - Due 12/18/2012  PAID 
  • $11,000 - Due 4/1/2013 (End of 3 months on the field)
  • $15,500 - Total Due 7/1/2013 (End of 6 months on the field)

I am really looking forward to this upcoming journey..this next page in this great story I'm living. Saying goodbye is always hard, but I love home and the people in it. I always will.. 
With this journey I am simply asking the Lord to enlarge my heart and what I call home. I'm asking Him to expand my territory like Jabez. To fall in love with the people of the world, and to fall in love with the journey not just the destinations.

I'm a dreamer..and my compass only points north.
So here I am about to launch, about to fly.. "Second star to the right and straight on till morning"
