As you may already know, I need to raise a little over $2,000 by January 31st to be able to stay on the World Race. I have to admit that when I first signed up for this trip and even into the first month or two while being on the field, I had one foot in and one foot out on fundraising for this trip. I didn’t have a lot of faith in myself that I would be able to make it 11 months away from my family and friends and travel around living in less than ideal conditions. But sitting here today I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.
Everyday that I wake up on this Race I am more in love with my Heavenly Father and all of His beautiful creation He has made. I find myself in awe at times that He chose me as His daughter. He chose to love me so well that no matter where I am at He goes above and beyond to provide for my every need and love me better than I could ever imagine or ask of Him.
I have loved being able to serve others on this trip, it has been my honor to love on God’s children in the ways He has asked me to. However, I have gotten more out of this experience than I believe I could ever give. In just these four short months my relationship with Christ has deepened beyond anything I could hope or wish for. Things I had been lacking in my spiritual walk with Him have been showing up daily and they were things I didn’t even realize I was missing or needing.
This experience, though still in the beginning stages, has transformed my life, present and future. This has changed the way I view every situation, how I interact with those close to me in my life, how I will treat my husband someday and how I will someday raise my children. I could never repay God for all He has done for me and this trip has brought all of that to light in my eyes.
Seeing so much transformation in my life and knowing it has only been 4 months blows my mind. I can’t imagine what He is going to do with my heart in the next 7 months. I am so hoping, with your help, that I get to stay out here to experience.
If you are able and willing, please let God use you to provide the funds I need to be able to stay on this field. I pray that if you chose to be apart of this experience with me that God blesses you even more that He has blessed me and that your life sees a complete change for the better as mine has with the impact His love can have on it.
I truly appreciate each and everyone of you and all of the donations, prayers and support that have come in to get me to this point thus far. You are all truly just as much of a part of this journey as I am and I’m so thankful for each and everyone of you.
