THANK YOU!!
I want to send a HUGE thank you out to all who
have supported me in so many ways this year.
Prayer
You have supported me by praying faithfully. Without those prayers none of this World Race could have happened. It has kept the enemy away at times. I have felt your prayers at specific times this year. God works through prayer and I have seen the power of prayer in numerous ways this year so I know your prayers were HUGE to what God did this year. God used YOU to be a part of building Kingdom this year through your prayer!
Encouragement
This year I received e-mails with words of encouragement at the right times with the right words. You sent verses that I needed to hear and ones that brought joy and a re-filling in tough times. You spoke word of truth and affirmation to combat discouragement that was not of God. Without that encouragement, this year would have been much tougher and I don’t know that I could have made it. God used YOU to be a part of building Kingdom this year through encouragement!
Financial
There was a huge financial need at the beginning of this journey and you came through in a way I did not foresee. You sent me off fully supported and without wonder of where the money might come from. I received many checks and monthly payments from so many people. God blessed you and you gave. Many of you gave by taking a huge step of faith that God was going to provide for your daily needs. You have taught me a lot about giving and what it really means to step out in faith and to trust. This year, I would not have been able to go on the World Race if it weren’t for your generocity in giving. God used YOU to be a part of building Kingdom this year through finances!
Reading Blogs
So many of you read my blogs each time a new one was posted. Some of you read them as often as you could and for that I feel so blessed (I was horrible at keeping up with missionary friends of mine who only send an update out once a month, let alone sometimes 4 a week as I did!!). And since I have come home, I have realized how many more of you have read my blog faithfully throughout this year than I ever expected or imagined would. Knowing that you were there following me around the world, following what God was doing in the world and in me, means so much to me. That in itself is a huge encouragement to me. Not only did you read, but you allowed God to use them in your own lives. God used YOU to be a part of building Kingdom this year by reading my blogs!
*No words can fully express my grateful heart of thanks for YOU. God has blessed me with you and for that I am so thankful. Thank you for all your support through prayer, encouragement, finances, reading my blogs, and so many more ways I didn’t even mention. I pray that God pours out His blessing on you as you continue to obey and follow wherever his voice and promptings lead. I want you to know how thankful I am for all you have done…words can’t say enough of what’s in my heart. Thank you for being a part of the World Race this year and building Kingdom!
So, another BIG-HUGE-GIGANTIC:
THANK YOU!!!
“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” ~Philippians 1:3-6
*I wanted to make a video to thank you (but it may not happen), but I pray you know know the gratitude that is in my heart for all you’ve done!
*You prayer warriors out there…please pray about my external hard-drive with all my pictures from the whole year on it. It died our last month, while in Nicaragua and will be $900 to recover if they can recover the data.
* Many of you have asked me “What’s next?” and at this very moment I don’t know, but God does! So, I’ll let you know when He reveals that to me. I’m excited to see what He has in store for me next 🙂
