Just to show you how amazing my friends, family, God, and kids are to me, here’s something they did for me…
Before I left in January, many of them wrote letters and scripture for me to read every day of the race. Thanks to my friend Holly, a few weeks ago an entry included letters from her class of 4th grade students. One particular kid in the class wrote me a letter saying he was praying something like, “I hope you don’t get attacked by the people, and if you get on a boat, I hope you don’t get attacked by pirates.”
It’s funny, but the cool thing is that several of us took a ferry to Italy (our first boat ride on the World Race) that following weekend. That child’s prayer came to me at the perfect time, and the Lord answered his prayer…no pirates.
