I would like to start by saying “Thank You.”

Thank You to everyone who has supported me in prayer, financially or both.  I have an update to offer, and it is hard to type … I had my heart set on leaving for Romania this Saturday but God has different plans for me.   

I am not joining my team as they “launch” this weekend.  Why? 

Well, World Race needs to ensure all of their racers are 100% ready for launch.  

Thru ongoing conversations with my World Race leader, it was determined I was not ready.  They were right.  I need some time to mature and grow my relationship with God.  I could use your prayers on that front.  

Initially I was disappointed and upset with myself.  I feel as though I have let people down.  My life plan was derailed and candidly, I didn’t / don’t have a back up plan.  

While at training camp, I learned about how difficult it is to fully lean on God and trust him completely. The time I spent between launch and training camp I realized that I really need to work on this part of my faith.  I will spend this year working and looking for a church and a Christian community to lean back on in times of weakness. 

The money that has already been donated will be transferred to next my launch next year. I would like to thank you again for the wonderfully generous donations and for all of the prayers. 

I will keep you all posted!
