I wanted to take a few minutes to give y’all an update. First of all, thank you to each and every one of you who have contributed to this journey through your prayers and your donations. I have definitely encountered some rough attacks from the Evil One over the last few weeks, and it is in those times that I feel your prayers the most. As of Friday, we broke over the 50% hump and are now over halfway to the $13,800 needed!!! I can’t begin to express how excited and humbled I am by your donations. I am praying that God will bless each of you for your generous hearts, and I know that He’s as excited by your generosity as I am! Others’ interest in this trip has been a great encouragement to me, and I cannot wait for July to get here! Speaking of July, we got a nice little surprise a few days ago when our tentative race route was announced (and I do mean tentative). While this is definitely subject to change, it’s nice to finally have some idea of where I’ll be! So, without further ado, here it is:

John 10:3-5 “…he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
