THANK YOU
To all who have given so selflessly to my World Race!
Through prayers. Through words of encouragement. Through your time, your ideas, your creativity. Through donations. Through love.
And so much more.
Your lives have been such a blessing to my life in ways that you may not even realize.
In a way I feel like Paul when he wrote to the Philippians
“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Though my situation is just a little different 😉 I am tasting what Paul might have been feeling in that moment.
And it taste so sweet!
Many have been asking me how I am feeling as the days spiral down to my launch date at the end of June, and to be honest…
I haven’t been able to narrow it down to one emotion.
I am feeling so much
excitement, joy, fear, anxiousness, excitement again, fear
I’m on this emotional roller coaster and if I relied on my emotions I would have quit the trip, rejoined, quit again, rejoined, and who knows what else.
I have learned, with these emotions, to take them, both good and bad, to Jesus and offer them to him as a sacrifice–to never come to Him empty handed; even if that means bringing every single feeling that I have.
With that all being said….I have some
EXCITING NEWS!
I am now….
58% funded!
That means, I have passed not only my first financial deadline, but my second one of $7,500 as well!
And I am only $1,000 away from my third financial deadline!
I have $10,000 raised out of the $16,000 needed and that is absolutely incredible. My God provides!
If you are reading this and feel led to give, there is an opportunity for you to do so. On the left side of the screen is a tab that says SUPPORT ME! You can click on that tab and donate your desired amount! No amount is too little or too big!
If you do not want to give money, I have created a Wish List for the supplies that I need for my trip. I have already purchased a few big items, but there is lots more that is needed. Check out my Wish List at this link:

Above all else, please continue to pray for the preparation of this journey, while I am on the race, and after!
