There are a few huge changes that have taken place in the last month! For one, I’ve now been in Tulsa for almost 24 hours.  It took me quite some time to decide I needed to go home.  Since the start of the race I’ve gained about 30 lbs.  Try eating that on, it doesn’t really work.  I also have a lot of symptoms which signal a thyroid problem.  I’ll be going to the doctor on September 8th to figure out exactly whats wrong. 
Now for huge decision number 2.  After I get my thyroid checked and some form of treatment started, I’m not going back to the World Race.   I came to a point in my support raising where I needed to make another deposit of funds and I just felt like God was leading me in a different direction.  After some serious prayer from both myself and some of my squad mates I’ve decided to go back to Nicaragua.  I miss the kids there like crazy and I know that God has called me there.  I feel so much peace about the situation that it’s amazing.  God is so in control and is working everything out perfectly to get me there. 
I have so loved all of my time on the world race.  Thank you so much for all of your support.  Please continue to pray for me and my squad! You’re prayer support is huge.  If you have any questions please feel free to hit the “contact” button on the left of your screen and send me an e-mail! I would love to hear from you!
