I am about to board the 1st of 3 planes that will take me back to America. This year has been so incredible. I can’t really find the right words to adequately describe what this year has done for me, but I will try.
Before the Race I was kind of like a stomped out fire. I had gone through so many things that made me lose my relationships with people, my personality, and made me distance myself from the Lord.
This year I have come alive.
The fire that had gone out is lit again and growing FIERCELY everyday.
I have grown in how to love people. Pursue them. See them. Love them well.
I have grown in community. I have surrounded myself with good Christian friends who encourage me and always point me back to the Lord. Before the Race I kept myself isolated and didn‘t see the need to put myself out there.
I have grown in the way that I view myself. I see myself as a daughter of the King and it isn’t something I waiver in anymore. I know my identity. I know my worth. There are still days where the lies come in, but they don’t stay as long as they used to.
Most importantly I have completely fallen in the love with the Lord. The relationship I have with Him is so real and beautiful. The once distorted view of God has changed to the beautiful truth that He is a good God, loving Father, suffering servant, and compassionate friend.
Thank you for everyone who helped me get here. I am so blessed to have experienced everything that I have. I am so blessed to have met the people I have done life with this year as well as hundreds of people all over the world.
I have videos coming. My laptop was stolen a few days ago so it is going to take a little bit to get them up.
Thank you so much for following along on this crazy journey.
There is another journey coming up extremely soon. I will announce it once I get back to the States. Stay tuned for that!
With love,
A
