These last two weeks have been a great time with family and friends. I am sad to leave, but excited to see what God is going to bring in 2015. The amount of love people have shown by their financial support has been overwhelming. I am starting out on “The Race” fully funded along with half of my personal expenses covered. Being fully funded is another proof that this is exactly what God wants me to be doing right now.

Christmas fun – Christmas Eve Chinese food, Red pjs, gifts, family

         

Mother/Daughter Tea with nieces and sisters-in-law

Spending time with my horse, Moon

        

Packing, packing, packing – with help from my packing expert, Aunt Gail

Visiting with grandparents – both Schuylers and Kellys

New Year’s Celebration – been focused on January, 2015 (Launch!) for 5 months and now it’s here

Last night my family had a farewell party for me. There was lots of food, a World Race game, a word of encouragement and a time of prayer over me.  Then, at church this morning, our Pastor and Leadership had another time of prayer for me. I am leaving feeling so loved!

                

I fly out tonight at midnight to spend a few days with friends from the original N Squad, then I’m off on my WR!

Stats: I am officially starting The Race on January 7th in Atlanta, GA, for a few days of training.  Arriving in the Philippines on January 12th.
