From the moment I heard of World Race Gap Year, I wanted to go, and this is why…

I want change. I want to get out of my comfort zone and solely rely on the Lord. I want to be put in uncomfortable positions and find rest in the Lord.

I want to be challenged. By people, by things, by experiences. I want new definitions of home and faith and hope. 

I want to reach the unreached. I want to be a light in the darkest of places. In areas where there is close to nothing, I want to be a vessel for Him who is everything. 

I want to bring joy and laughter to the people who need it most. I want them to realize that the joy of the Lord cannot be contained. 

I want my heart to break for what breaks His. I want to see people how the Lord sees them, and love them how He does.

I want to spend time in community and fellowship with people who are eagerly seeking the Lord and His guidance. (Shoutout T Squad!!!)

I want to build spiritual friendships with women who will push me further into my faith and always challenge me to be the best version of myself. 

I want to serve. I want to serve God and every person I meet. I want to be a reflection of Jesus this year, no matter what I’m doing. I want to grow in my walk with the Lord. I want to strive for a more personal relationship. I want to desire Him in every season of my life, more than I ever have before.
