***First of all… WELCOME!!!!!!

 

   I am thrilled that you are here and want to thank you for checking out my blog. Before I talk a little about myself, I want to remind you that you are an incredibly unique human being that God L-O-V-E-S very very much. You are hand crafted by God Himself and are nothing short of God’s very own M-A-S-T-E-R-P-I-E-C-E. God knitted you in your mothers womb and knew every detail of your life before any detail was even lived out. So take a deep breath and rest in His love.

 

   Did you take that breath? Good. Now I want to share a little about myself. I was born and raised in the little town of Buckley located in Washington, about an hour from both the ocean and the mountains. I grew up spending much of my time with my family and all my winter weekends on the ski slopes of Alpental. In addition to skiing, I started running when I was 12 and I haven’t stopped since (thank you mom:D). I love the outdoors and exploring God’s lusciously beautiful creation. 

 

   I am currently a senior at Pacific Lutheran University. I will be graduating with a BS in Kinesiology (concentration: exercise science) a couple of weeks prior to my launch date in January 2018. 

 

   From a very young age God had me dreaming of being a missionary in foreign countries. I am now getting the opportunity to see that dream through. I am absolutely stoked to be going to 11 different countries to serve God and His people and to see His creation. I invite you to follow my journey, I will be posting updates leading up to the race and while I am on the race through this blog and social media (Instagram @micaelamarie06).

 

   Your prayers and support are TREMENDOUSLY welcome and appreciated.

 

   Live Loved, 

   Micaela
