There is no way words could express my gratitude to all of you who supported me this year financially, through prayer, and by following me on my blog. Because of you orphans were fed, widows cared for and the destitute were given hope. I recognize that the World Race was not something I did on my own but in fact it was the Body of Christ operating together. I am so grateful to have taken this pilgrimage and to have my heart and life forever impacted. Please know from the depths of my soul I am grateful to all of you who commissioned me and sent me out this past year. I will never be the same.
I wanted to make a little video for you to watch to see a snapshot version of what I got to experience this year. The song “Come Awake” by David Crowder is particularly meaningful to me because this year was about God waking up my soul and my heart to who I really am and who I’m created to be in Christ. Beginning to step into my identity as a daughter of the King brought me freedom like never before and allowed me to shed some of the crap I had gotten used to carrying around in my heart. The beginning of the video is from one of my favorite places, Uganda. Laura and I made friends with a woman that we called “Momma” and she taught us how to cook and grind cassava flour and basically how to be good, African women even though we didn’t speak any Achole and she didn’t speak any English. Spending time in her hut was one of the sweetest places I got to be all year.
