some big and exciting news: I CHANGED MY ROUTE!!! 

after a lot of prayer, a few sleepless nights, and several tears— I have decided that route 3 is the best route for me!!!

route three: Ethiopia, Cambodia, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. 

With this big decision weighing heavy on my heart, I came to the realization that my Jesus is going to use me regardless of where I am. The World Race isn’t necessarily going to be a “comfortable” experience, but my heart finds peace in knowing that I am now scheduled to return to one of my favorite countries and a place I have called home for so long. I am overjoyed and I truly look forward to the day I depart for this journey.

I continue to ask you for your prayers and thoughts as I fundraise and spiritually prepare for all that is to come.
