So as some of you may have noticed, I’ve taken a hiatus from blogging.  Believe it or not, its been intentional.  I haven’t stopped writing about my experiences, I journal almost everyday.  I guess I just felt like blogging on a public site for everyone to read somehow meant that I was something special.  I realize I am doing what most people would consider to exciting and adventurous and I’m sure there are even a handful of people who would enjoy reading about it.  But I never wanted to glamorize my experiences or take credit for the work God is doing.  After all, we are all living a life of ministry and purpose.  My life is in no way more important than the next person’s.  I’ve recently had some regrets about not blogging.  My teammate, Hope Mendola and I were chatting one night about these regrets.  She has committed to a goal of one blog a day.  (She is an incredible writer, I highly recommend reading her blogs).  This has inspired me greatly.  I’ve felt convicted that I haven’t kept in touch with my supporters and friends and family as well as I could have through writing blogs.  So please accept my sincerest apologies (especially to those who have been bugging me about blogging) for keeping you in the dark about my World Race.  And so, without further ado, I have decided to post some past journal entries as well as write some new blogs for those of you who are interested.  

 Also, thank you thank you thank you to everyone who has been on my case about not blogging!  Stay tuned!
Love, 
Em
