Wow. What a journey this has been and this is only the beginning.
Fun fact.. I have been accepted on to the race for 10 months now. Yep. That is one month less than how long the race actually is. CRAZY.
God has moved so much throughout these 10 months in ways I couldn’t even imagine. Complete strangers supported me. My pride was down right shattered. My love for people grew. I gained this confidence I have never had before. I could go on and on about ways I have changed.. but I won’t.
What I will do.. is thank each and everyone of you who have supported me.
Strangers. I don’t know how you found me, but I am super grateful that you did. To some, you know me through my parents, but are perfect strangers to me. Maybe you found me on social media. Maybe some of you still have no clue who I am, but I thank God that somehow you found your way to me. I honestly don’t know where to begin to thank you guys. Your donations, your prayers, even if you shared my blogs.. thank you for believing in me.
Friends. You guys rock. I am so thankful that God has blessed me with such beautiful, supportive people to help me EVERY STEP of the way. You went out of your way to donate what you had. You gave me constant words of encouragement when I just wanted to have a full mental break down on the floor. You are the ones who went with me to get gear. You are the ones that went to the mall with me 8 days before launch to help me find one pair of jeans and gave me 20 different pairs to try on and would not stop till I found some. You guys have made my heart soar. Thank you. Each and everyone of you.
Family. My people. My rocks. I don’t know what I would have done with out you. Your donations brought me to my knees in tears and gratitude. You took on another full time job in helping me raise money. You drove an hour from home to come to my garage sales. You actively prayed for me each and everyday. You never made me feel like I was a crazy person for wanting to do this. You might have thought it a couple of times, but you never made me feel like I was lol. I love you guys from the depths of my being and I would not be the person I am today without your influence on my life. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for putting your own feelings aside to help me do what God has called me to do. Thank you so so much.
I cannot believe that it’s already here. I can’t believe that I started with $150 in this account and that when I leave it will say $17,017. Do you guys know how much money that is?? It’s a lottttt.
I can’t thank you guys enough. I hope you follow along while I am gone because you are all apart of this as much as I am.
I AM FULLY FUNDED THANK YOU.
I am so excited to Launch in a few days. I am also sad to say see you later to all my people, but God is doing amazing things and I feel it in my soul.
I love you all!!
Here we come Colombia!!!
