So yep, it's been a while since I have posted. Still getting used to the idea of putting all my thoughts out there daily-ish on a blog.
It's 12:50am & I can't sleep; lots of stuff running through my mind. I've been really busy getting my fundraising letters together. I'm about half way through addressing them now. Unfortunately, the "oh wait" part is stamps….500 letters X .42 cents per stamp = A LOT! I was blessed by a very sweet grandmother in my church (shout out to Diane Leary) for getting me started with 40 stamps. Hopefully I will be able to purchase a few sheets soon, like after the holiday.
Headed to Warner Robbins, GA for Independence Day! My mom's family lives down there & we have visited them at least twice a year (the 4th and Christmas) since before I was born. My Great Uncle & Great Aunt have been my grandparents all of my life because I did not get a chance to know my mom's parents before they past away. They are everything to me, I love them so much! It's so amazing because I have made even more "family" through them down there (shout out to Jackie, the Greens, Hue & Marilyn, etc.)! Not to leave them out, I also have my cousins too!!
Please continues to pray for me and my route-mates (January 2014, Route 4)! And don't forget to support me financially as well if you can! I know I don't have all of my Facebook friends' addresses to send them these letters, so you can look at it on here & support me by clicking the link to the left!
I have also registered at REI for my gear (because I have to pay for my gear, travel insurance, & vaccinations separately)! If you would like to help me in this way you can go to www.rei.com, click "Gift Registry" at the top of the page, and type my name (Sarah Motes), my registry number (GR4668527) and my event date (Jan. 1, 2014) down below. Note that there are 2 Sarah Motes' for some reason; I am the one in Anderson, SC and NOT in Texas of course, haha.
I have already begun to see God working on His path through me through emotional & uplifting support from my family, friends, church family, & fellow World Racers! I cannot wait to see God's continued work in my life, the plans He has for me!
