What an adventure the World Race was. I am so thankful for the immense support I was shown and for the super cool opportunity to travel the world for almost a year. The adventure is just starting, however, and I know Abba has some incredible things ahead for Him and I to do together!
Thank you so much for following my journey. I am thankful my words have been received by so many- thank you for taking the time once a week to read them!
May you go on many adventures in Jesus’s name!
