“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.” 2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ 

Here are semi organized thoughts. Thank you. This was far bigger than myself. 

Regarding journals: 

This trip took everything out of me. Everyday left me physically destroyed. Barely getting enough sleep to wake up the next day to destroy myself again. I would write these journals at the end of me. Oftentimes at my lowest lows. Thank you for reading. And being patient. Thank you for loving me. I did these journals to look back years from now. It’s hard to have your life so publicized. But it’s also important to show how God has been working in our lives. I can tell stories of this trip how God did that and would love to tell more. Simply ask me. It’s hard to put everything on a public platform with a wide audience. 

Regarding motivation/support:

I mean this when I say it. If you cared about this trip you motivated me. I did not do this trip for “status”, pride, or myself. I learned a lot. I’m still wondering why I did this trip. I’m guessing I may not find out years from now. Each day when I would wake up, however, I was motivated by people that love me. Encourage me. Support me. Call me. Text me. Pray for me. I’m being serious. There is so many people I don’t even know that had an impact on this trip. That’s pretty special. 

Regarding transition:

I’m nervous for my transition back home. Please continue to pray that I will never forget the clouds. Never forget how God is always with me. With you. 

Regarding another trip:

I don’t know. I cried many times of sadness/joy thinking about this as my last one. I would love to lead trips like this or to a lesser scale. Let me know if you want to do anything. Outside. Ever. 

Regarding God:

Trust Him. He will guide your steps. He will give you just enough strength to get through each day when you trust in Him. 

Regarding prayer:

My prayer each morning was “Lord give me strength I need for today. Let me not worry about tomorrow. Hold me near as I go from here. Let me learn to love you more.”

Regarding anything else:

My email is juderogerhubbard@gmail.com if you want to talk about this trip or planning your own or simply talk, please email me and we can set up a time to talk. I love hearing people’s stories. God uses unique people in unique moments. I think of Anita, the Binford’s, Josh, Matt, Craig, Joanna, and so many other people. Remind yourself everyday how you saw God.  He is moving in your life everyday. 

I hope you enjoyed this unfiltered look into my life. Pray for each other. Love each other. You all taught me a lot. Thank you

Love,

Jude
