I can’t believe that I am heading into month 9 of this journey! Time has flown by and it seems surreal that I just stepped off the plane in South Africa and am about to board the bus to Zimbabwe. At this point we have been traveling for 31 hours and still have an 11 hour bus ride. As much as it sucks to be packing up and leaving every 3 weeks, the feeling of jumping on a plane never gets old! Airports are still exciting and these days are some of my favourite days on the race.
Throughout the race I have grown and it’s due to the community and leadership team that has walked this journey with me. Together we have created an amazing, open and safe place for sharing. Not only is the community safe, but the language and questions we ask each other on a daily basis allow us to go deep and become vulnerable with one another. Take a look and see what type of language we use!

It is so crazy that 8 months of this journey have come and gone, and while there has been so many amazing experiences, I have grown as an individual in so many ways. I am excited to see where the next 3 months lead me, I have a feeling the Lord is going to show me a lot of things!
Thanks for following my journey!
