My life isn't real. I mean, it doesn't feel like it. I leave for Atlanta to begin the World Race in a mere 5 days! There is still so much for me to do to prepare for these next 11 months but I am trying to use my remaining time at home with family and friends. Saying goodbye to loved ones has been the hardest thing for me so far, but I know that it's not goodbye forever, just for now.
The most frequently asked question I get is, "So are you ready for your trip?" Honestly, I don't know how to answer that question. It seems almost impossible to mentally prepare myself to take one back pack with my belongings and leave everything I know behind for a year. My feelings are a mix of excited/nervous/anxious/terrified. But I find comfort in knowing that this is where God wants me this year and he will protect me throughout this once in a lifetime adventure. It's going to be awesome!
An update on my support, I'm currently at $8519, thank you so much for all who have supported financially 🙂 My next deadline is December 1 in which I will need $10,500. If you have been thinking of donating but haven't done so yet, I would love for you to join me in this journey! You won't regret it, I promise!

"And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundred fold and will inherit eternal life" Matthew 19:29
