A lot of other racers have had people write them letters for different months of the race. I thought this was a brilliant idea since I will probably be home sick, and need encouragement throughout my eleven month journey.
So, if you would like to write me a letter, birthday card, note, whatever – I encourage that! Seeing that I leave in 18days you’ll have to get the letter to me before my trip, but I would love to take letters with me! Just make sure to specify what month you want me to open it in AND if you want, specify what mood (open when I am feeling excited, sad, lonely, frustrated, happy, etc.)
I am going to miss so many of you while I am gone! I know it is only a year and I won’t be completely forgotten. I just think the letters will help during the challenging times when I really need a friend or family member, or when I am missing home.
Thank you all!
On a different note, I am blown away at how close I am to the $10,000 deadline. A couple weeks ago I had no idea how I was going to reach the deadline, and here I am hundreds instead of thousands of dollars away! God is so good, and He continually shows me that I am where I am supposed to be, doing what I am supposed to be doing. Thank you all for the support and prayers you have given me. I just am beyond grateful for every single one of you.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”
