Sometimes God answers prayers you never even had the imagination to pray.

If you had told me at the beginning of the Race that there was any way my mom could come join me on the World Race for a week, I would have never believed you. Probably cried thinking of the amazing possibility, then laughed because there is absolutely no way
.
But our God loves to pursue our hearts in the ways only He can and knows how to.

During my 5th month on the Race, I got an email from Adventures in Missions saying they are trying out a new aspect of the Race allowing parents to come join their Racer on the filed.

I remember sitting in a hostel in Cambodia in disbelief that my Squad would be the one that they are trying out this new concept on.

But God knew it all along.

He knew that one of the greatest blessings I could ever receive is to be able to have my mom come experience a glimpse of what life is like on the Race.

He knew I would need time to have heart to hearts with her to process all that God has taken me through on this journey.

He knew I would need to discuss what I feel like God is calling me to in the future without the trouble of unstable internet around the world.

I can’t begin to describe how excited I am for my mom to fly into Kenya in 2 days. It is just surreal and I don’t think I’ll fully believe it’s happening until I see her face.

I am so thankful for God’s beautiful timing and the gift of this week with my mom when I need it the most! He is so good!

Please pray for safety as mom experiences a “travel day” that includes many flights and layovers. Please pray for peace in Kenya as the elections take place the day my mom flies in. Please pray for a beautiful time of heart to hearts and experiencing God together on this journey He has us on.
