Adventures WorldRace SethBarnes Sponsorship Giving

| by archiveworldraceblogs

This last weekend I attended the social event of the season, Phil and Katie Lopez's wedding. You heard about #lopezweddingweekend right? Anyway it was crazy beautiful and crazy fun. I was surrounded by friends that changed my life when I transfered to ISU. 
Knowing that I was leaving made me pause and take notice of how these people have impacted me. Through fall retreats, baptisms, pay-it-forward tours, countless coffee dates, sleepovers, circle up games, small groups, and songs these people have come to mean a whole stinking lot to me. I was literally soaking it up. I feel so incredibly blessed to have been in these people's lives and I want to say thank you. You are all going on this incredible journey with me because you've become a part of me. 


Thanks for listening to me question and wrestle with the bible, Church, and theology. 

Thanks for spending HOURS helping me pass Spanish. 

Thank you for believing in me when I doubted myself.

Thanks for picking me up and dropping me off at the airport. 


Thanks for introducing yourself to me on the bus for my first pay-it-forward tour.

Thanks for being willing to bake gluten free cupcakes on my birthday.


Thank you for lifting me up in prayer and love when I was discouraged.

Thanks for driving me when I couldn't park at my apartment building.

Thanks for not rolling your eyes at me when I wanted to start the first college chapter of LUO.

Thanks for going to look at new apartments with me when I had no idea how to what I was looking for.

 Thanks for helping me with my hair—it's outta control. 

Thanks for making me sing even when I think I'm about to throw up with nerves.

And a super-duper thanks for being excited and supporting  me when I told you about the World Race.
