Hello everyone! So I figured it was about time for another blog update, just to let you all know what's been going on. I officially completed my World Race on December 2nd and returned to the good ol U.S.A. on the 4th. After my three months in Africa I spent my final three months in Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia! I absolutely fell in love with Thailand and the ministry that I worked with while there, which was a rescue home for children who were at risk of being sold into human trafficking. God used that ministry to plant a seed in my heart for what He was planning next for me, something that I am planning on sharing with all if you in my next blog! In Cambodia we lived out in a village that was surrounded by rice fields on all sides, it was so beautiful (so I promise to do a picture blog soon)! Our ministry for the month was teaching English to a bunch of village kids of all ages, it wasn't my favorite ministry of all time but it definitely taught me about patience. My team and I faced some crazy extreme spiritual warfare that month through nightmares, anxiety, apathy and more. Our final month in Malaysia was both awesome and hard all at the same time. Our ministry was to work with several YWAM ministries along with processing our entire race and preparing ourselves for our journey back home. Coming home has been good and hard at times. I was super excited to get to spend Christmas with my family and just spend a couple of weeks doing nothing but rest and share my crazy world race stories with my family. As most of you know I came home still owing money for my race, which I'll admit was causing me a lot of worry and stress. Well I am so BLESSED and THANKFUL to say that my Awesome God has provided for my needs once again and I am now officially Fully-Funded!!!! You guys are amazing and I am soo blessed by you and all that you have done to make God's plan for this past year successful!!!! As of right now God has been blowing my mind, with all of the things that He has been teaching and revealing to me. I will be posting another new blog shortly that will reveal a little bit of what God is calling me up into in this next year, but here's a little hint………it has a lot to do with big changes, new places and faces, and stepping into a lot of confidence, boldness, and freedom. I hope your getting excited because I am!!! 🙂 Love, Emily
