It feels so weird to say our squad is in month two. It’s crazy, but so exciting at the same time.
Our squad was blessed enough to be together as a whole in the first month. The night before we packed our backpacks up again and headed to the airport to kick off month two, we had all squad worship. Once we had wrapped up worship we had the chance to heart the heart of our mentor, coaches, and squad leaders. Then it was time for an announcement…
ROUTE CHANGES!
As our squad leader informed us of the changes, I listened intently. From the Philippines we would be going to Malaysia then Vietnam then Cambodia. Then came the next country and I am not joking when I say my heart leapt when it was announced. We got Thailand back!
I listened as they continued to tell us where we would be going (as of right now) but my heart was still so excited that I get to go back to Thailand. Before I get too ahead of myself I’ll fill you in on the rest of my route. Right now our route is looking like this:
Malaysia (current country)
Vietnam
Cambodia
Thailand
Swaziland
South Africa
TBA (most likely a European country)
TBA (most likely a European country)
TBA (most likely a European country)
TBA (most likely a European country)
I wish I could sum up the feeling of knowing that I get to go back to my home away from home while on the Race. Last fall I was in a beautiful time of worship with the Lord and He promised to bring me back to Thailand. Then we got to training camp and we were told that it was no longer on our route.
To be honest I was a little sad that it was cut from our route but I knew that I would be back someday because God told me I would be back. When I first found out people would ask me if I was upset that I wasn’t going to Thailand on my route. But my response was always the same: “Jesus promised me I was going back so I know that I’ll be back eventually.”
I can only imagine the look on the Lord’s face as I found out that we were getting Thailand back on our route because He knew all along.
My heart is so full at the thought of going back to the place that stole my heart a little over a year ago. The possibility of getting to hold the hands of my sweet Thai sisters as I speak the truth of our Father over them brings me so much joy. I honestly couldn’t contain my excitement even if I wanted to.
But here’s the thing: I need your help to get there. I am still in need of over half of my support in order to be fully funded. I need to see:
- $11,000 in my account by December 1st and
- $16,285 (the full amount) in my account by March 1st.
As of right now my account sits at $7375. This means that in order to stay on the Race after December 1st I need $3,625 to come in by that day. I firmly believe that the Lord wants me to go back to Thailand and I honestly believe that the Lord wants to use some of you to help me get there.

No matter what happens I will be going home soon. I will either be going back to Nebraska in December or I will be going to Thailand in January. I know in the depths of my heart the Lord wants to bring me back to Thailand. And I am trusting Him to provide the way to get there. Will you help bring me back to my second home?
