I would like to take a moment to introduce you to my family for this World Race adventure. I will be traveling around the world with my amazing squad (the 34 July racers) and then with my small family team. 
July World Racers My team, Kiatera (sadly Amanda won’t be joining us)
Each team had to choose a name. My team has chosen the name Kiatera. This is a word meaning “daughter”. Kiatera consists of 5 ladies: Krystle, Brandi, Katie, Lindsay, & me. We are five daughters of the King following after Him and loving those that He loves.
Our team verse is “Listen, O Daughter, and give ear; forget your people and your father’s house. The King is enthralled by your beauty; honor Him for He is your Lord.” ~ Psalm 45:10-11 We are leaving behind our lives here in the United States in order to follow after our God, our King, who loves us. We are pursued by His love, loving His children, and living for His glory.
These five ladies that will be my family for the next year are absolutely amazing!! The Lord has really brought us together through a 2.5 mile run (there is such a deep love in my heart for Lindsay for being my running coach & encouragement), Starbucks trip, matching shirts, superhero poses, Zsa zsa (our mascot), planned line dance learning, lots of laughter, tears, prayer, hugs, and a common heart for the Lord and for the world. I’m really looking forward to worshipping, serving, laughing, crying, and just living life alongside these ladies!
