I don’t even know where to start with this blog.
Do I tell you my favorite story from this year?  Do I tell you a lesson I learned?  I’m struggling figuring out how to put a year into one blog.  Honestly, I think the only thing I want to say,  is thank you.

Thank you to my supporters for giving me the world.  Thank you for donating your hard earned money so that I could spend this year with God.  Thank you for finding worth and substance in my mission. I literally could not have done this without you,  you are everything.

Thank you to my host this year. Thank you for giving us a chance.  Thank you for seeing worth and pouring out into my teams.  Thank you for opening up your homes and your lives to welcome a bunch of crazy missionaries.  Thank you for what you’re doing for the Kingdom and for giving up your life to serve God.  You have inspired me more than you’ll ever know.

Thank you to my teams.  Thank you for pushing me to grow.  Thank you for always calling me higher and seeing my worth when I couldn’t see it myself.  Thank you for loving me and putting up with my bad days. You’ve been my rock this year, I will miss you being a huge part of my daily life.

To the people that told be their stories, opened their hearts to me,  welcomed me into their homes,  treated me like family… Thank you.  You’ve changed my life.  Because of you, I will never be the same.  Thank you for loving me,  thank you for seeing my worth and wanting to hear my story.

To my family… Thank you for giving me up for the year.  Thank you for always supporting me and loving me.  Thank you for allowing me to be free.  Mom,  thank you for spending a week with me and seeing what my life has been like this year.

Thank you to every person that has shared my story,  read my blog,  donated,  prayed, or just thought about me this year.  You mean everything to me.
