I wanted to write a blog about all my friends that have greatly impacted my life and whom I will miss terribly while on the World Race!
First of all, my best friends in Tucson. Holly (on the left) and I have been friends for about 7 years now and I just love her! Abby (on the right) and I have been friends since 3rd grade!! We were neighbors and have been best friends ever since.
Secondly, my best friends in Flagstaff. Kristin (far left) is my roommate and keeps me sane. Ashley (next to me) and I have only been friends for about 5 months now but God has reconciled our relationship and she is such a blessing in my life. Billye (far right) is one of my absolutely favorite people! She is my voice of reason and constantly encourages me.
This is Jade, Me, Stephanie, and Kristin. More amazing friends whom I love dearly.
Next, is my big brother, Brian. He has mentored me and led me to the Lord in so many ways. He introduced me to REAL prayer and has never stopped encouraging me. We have been through a lot together and God has truly blessed me with him. He’s one of a kind!
Also, I wanted to include a picture of the 24/7 prayer team that Brian (above) leads for Intervarsity Christian Fellowship on the NAU campus. I love these people so much and am blessed to get the opportunity to serve with them! (From left to right: Paul, Rachel, Me, Emily, Mary)
Of course last but not least, I have to include my sister, Lindsay. I would not be who I am today if it weren’t for her. She has been a wonderful role model and mentor to me. She loves Jesus and has more wisdom than anyone I know!
So there you go! As you can see, I love my friends and community! I am so excited to make new lifelong friendships from this experience of the World Race. Thank you so much for all your support and prayers for me while I am preparing to leave all the ones I love to serve those around the world who do not have anyone to love them. I can’t believe I have an opportunity to share with them the love that Jesus has for them and encountering His love with them!
OH and one last picture. For all of you who think it doesn’t snow in Arizona,
Come to Flagstaff! Goodbye and have a wonderful week!
