I figured it was time for a blog since I’ve now been in the states for a week now. I was looking over my supporter list and realized how blessed I’ve been. Also realized how spread out everyone is from me and that as much as I want to I couldn’t thank you in person. So this is a shout out to YOU people. You people who have supported financially, prayerfully, or by a thought or two a day, this blog is for you.
This past year has been AMAZING to say the least. I know that words could never be enough for your support…but THANK YOU! I’ve gotten the chance of a lifetime to see the world, to experiance people and their cultures. I wish that everyone in their life could do something like this. I’ve met so many crazy people; so many fun people; so many beautiful people; and so many people in search of more of God. The world is full of diverse people.

I believe I learned so much from people. I learned that my way doesn’t always have to be. We all live in such wierd ways, like our ways of life are wierd. Ya know? There are so many ways to do life. But because of YOU I was able to experiance lots of differant ways. I was stretched in ways I never thought I could be, I learned things I never expected to learn, and I saw God in many new ways. So yea, my utmost gratitude goes out to all you people who stood behind me and supported me this whole year.
To quote my squad-mate Samara,
“Doing the World Race doesn’t make us better than other people…it just makes us BLESSED PEOPLE.”
I am more blessed than ever…
