I’m changed okay! the race has changed me in so many ways but the one way it really has impacted me significantly is that it has helped teach me that christ has to be at the center of my life. That a life without Him is nothing, and that my whole life, my ups, and my downs are all with him. 

While on the race I have learned how to have an interacting, beautiful, and never ceasing relationship with my FATHER. I have learned slowly but surly that I have a God who walks with me everywhere and always will. I have a king who holds my hand and will never stop holding my hand. This is just the start of what I have learned about my God and who is in my life. I have also learned how to give him all the glory, and how to see the good things in my life as good gifts from the Father. I have come to a point of complete dependance on my God I realize that nothing can be done without him, and nothing is impossible with him.  

the race honestly didn’t teach me much in itself. But it gave me a space to meet the father in a vulnerable and beautiful place, and that is when Jesus taught me everything. he has given me new eyes for the people around me, he has given me a new heart for the people around me, and he has radically restored me and healed me to be able to be his hands and feet. I’m thankful for the race and the season of pure intimacy with the father that it has given me. I am also incredibly thankful for the community and the family, and wow am I going to miss it all so much!
