So for the past 17 minutes or so, I’ve been jumping up and down and hugging people and doing my happy dance. My cheeks hurt from smiling so big. And I want to shout praises to God but it’s quiet hours in the hostel I am staying.
I literally just found out that…..
I am fully funded!!!!
I can’t believe it!!!
I’m so blown away by God’s graciousness, provision and love! And I am overwhelmed by all the support from YOU GUYS!!!! Whoa!! Words can’t describe how thankful I am! I seriously keep saying “whoa” because that’s all that’s coming out.

I just want to send an internet hug to every single person who has every donated a dollar or more to my world race account!!! And anyone who has ever said a prayer for me! I love you so much and owe so much to you! The best year of my life happened because of you all. Thank you!

Something cool I’ve learned on the race is how to say thank you in every native language of each country. So:
- Thank you!
- Gracias!
- Mulsemesk!
- Speciba!
- Dankie!
- Obrigada!
- Kap koon ka!

It’s crazy that over a year ago, God called me on this insane adventure of a lifetime and since then, 15,500 has been provided to complete that journey. And now, I am starting month 11!!!! (Quick update- I landed in Malaysia today!!!!! I will be posting a blog very shortly to update you all on what my team will be doing this month!) ๐
Now that I am fully funded, please do not donate any more money to my World Race account, because it can not be refunded. I am so happy and speechless and thrilled that I am typing this blog! I really could never thank you enough! Like, ever. I love you all so much!
