So it’s been about 3 week since my dad passed away.  To be honest, it’s been really hard… dealing with the death of my father and re-entry into the United states has been ridiculous.  But thank the Lord that i have a massive amount of people praying for me!  I know that without the prayer i would not being doing so well.  I just thought i would give everyone an update on what my plans are.  Its been hard to make a decision about whether i should go back on the race or not… And i’ve had a lot of stress on myself in the decision making… But the conclusion that the Lord has brought me too… is that he is not done using me around the World.  And if i learned anything thus far this year, its that God blesses his children who are obedient.  So, i will be returning to the race towards the end of July.  I will hopefully be meeting up with my team in India in less than a month.  This brings me great joy because i miss my team so much, but also brings much saddness as i will be leaving my mother for another 4 months.  So i would appreciate the prayers for courage to continue on in Obedience to my Father, and to not turn from Him.

 
I just sent off my passport today to get my India Visa, so pray that it comes in fast…
 
I also am still in need of $2,005.00 to finish the race through November.  Almost completely supported… how about that… God is so good.  He pretty much Rocks!
 
Well i love you all, and thank you for being there for myself and my family during this hard time…
