To my supporters – thank you.

Financial supporters, people who donated yard sale goods, baked goods, those who came to my fundraisers, those who sent an encouraging email, those who wrote a letter to me, those who think or pray for me even still – thank you. Just a huge huge thank you.

Thank you for the love and support you have offered me. Because of your love, I am able to go out and love others the way you love me. Because of your support, I am able to physically be across the world doing exactly what I adore to do. Because of you, I am exactly where I need to be. I am exactly where the Lord needs me to be. And I am exactly where I would feel the happiest right now in my life.

Sometimes I sit here and my heart clenches in disbelief that this is real life. This is my life. That I can travel to 11 different countries in 11 months and serve the Lord in multiple ways. That I am able to see different places, different people, different ministries. That I am able to serve others and be served in surprising ways. That at this point in my life, I am able to learn more about myself in three months here than I could have in three months at home. That I can literally feel the Lord changing my heart, my mind, and my perspective about myself, my friends, the people I’m meeting, and the life I’m living.

I am still continuously amazed that I am here, and it wouldn’t have been possible without everyone back home.

I felt like I had to write this blog to just share my excitement and how I’m feeling. I’ve been so blessed to be here and have tried to portray what I’ve been thinking and feeling through my blogs, but I don’t think I’ve stressed enough how much I love it here. How absolutely blessed I feel to be here.

The only way I can really think to say it is that it feels right to be here. I know this is exactly where the Lord needs me to be right now, and it feels wonderful. I am so incredibly happy, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the Lord blessing me with each supporter I have in my life.

I still have a little over $500 left to raise in order to be fully funded. Please consider supporting me so that I am able to finish this adventure!
