Dear Family, Friends, and Supporters,
Thank you so very much to everyone who has continuously supported, encouraged, and loved me as I have pursued my path on the World Race. It is with a grateful and loving heart that I have decided to leave the World Race and come home.
I have spent so much time praying over, talking through, and thinking about this decision. And ultimately, I feel God is calling me home and the World Race is just not where I am supposed to be right now. I have wrestled so much with feeling guilty and sad, scared to disappoint those who have supported me. But at the end of the day my heart is just not in it, and I need to leave and press into what else God is calling me to do.
I have nothing but love and admiration for all of the incredible people I have met during my World Race journey. My squamates, teammates, mentors, coaches, and leaders have all treated me with respect and provided me with so much love and support during this time. Thank you! I know the Lord has great things planned for the Unscripted 2020 squad and I am so grateful I was able to be a part of it for even a short time!
To everyone who has supported me financially, through prayers, thoughts, and/or through encouragement—thank you. I am so grateful that I had and did pursue this opportunity, and I would not have been able to do this without you. Thank you so very much.
Throughout the year and a half I spent preparing for the World Race, and the week I spent in Peru attempting to pursue the race, I feel I have grown so much in myself, in how to push into what the Lord is leading me to do, and in how I want to continue to live the rest of my life. I know without a doubt that this was all a part of God’s plans for me.
I am completely at peace with my decision to leave the World Race and come home. So many good things have come out of this experience, and I look forward to all of the things God will continue to teach and reveal to me as I continue to press into His calling.
To anyone who is concerned regarding financial donations:
I have in no way profited or come into contact with any of the money that was donated on my behalf for the World Race. Since I have decided to no longer continue the World Race, all funds donated on my behalf, that were not used, will be released to Adventures in Missions.
I know that some people might not fully understand what I am saying or why I have made this decision and I would love to hear from you if you have any questions or thoughts for me!
