In honor of it being 100 days before my team and I launch for the World Race myself and some squad mates have come up with 100 thoughts or questions that at one time have crossed our minds in preparing to leave. This is a great way for everyone to see what we go thru. Some of these are hilarious things that may cross or minds and some leave us feeling vulnerable. I hope that all of you will take something from this as my prayer warriors and supporters on my journey!
As all of you pray for us to launch I want to share with you our team verse that we have decided upon! “However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me- the task of testifying to the good news of Gods grace” Act 20:24
