Well, the time has finally come. At 9 o'clock tomorrow morning we will be boarding a plane and setting out for Guatemala. For so long I have thought and talked about the World Race… now its real.

We have been in Atlanta the last few days making some final preparations. My parents came down the first couple days of for parent orientation, which was great. When they left yesterday I felt like I was one big step closer to full abandonment. That final step will come tomorrow.

It’s hard to put into words how I am feeling in these final hours. Even though I doubt my capabilities, I feel a great peace because I know that God called me to this. I know that when I get on that plane tomorrow it is exactly where I am supposed to be. I know He has an incredible adventure laid out before me.

I’m also at peace because of you guys. The support I have received from friends and family has absolutely blown me away over the last several months. I almost feel as if you guys are coming with me. Your support drives me that much and I can’t express how appreciative I am of that. Please continue to pray for my squad and stay in touch over these 11 months! Love you guys.

May all the glory be unto Him.

Let the race begin…
