The fundraising has begun, the letters and emails are sent. My backpack and sleeping bag are purchased. Things are moving along!

I can’t believe that I’m going to be traveling the world for almost a year. It seems like such a crazy idea, that this is actually happening! After prayer and some changes in events, I am not going to depart until July 1. This change creates some mixed emotions for me as I am eager to leave for this adventure, however after prayerful consideration and thought it seems like a good change that will allow me to tie up some loose ends and leave Austin feeling satisfied and ready for the next step.

I am so thankful for all of you who have already decided to support this journey of mine. I could not even attempt something like this with out people like you behind me.

If you are reading this and want to stay updated on my preparation and travels for the next year and nine months, you can click on “update alerts” in the menu to the left and enter your email. This will send you an email alert each time I post a new entry. Feel free to tell anyone about this website or my photo website (where I’m still selling framed 8×10 prints for $65 to go toward this trip).

Thank you so much for your support and love. Please join me in prayer over the next few months, as that is the ONLY way that I know how to approach something like this….. I love you ALL and look forward to the things that may come!
