ASK.

God has grown me in a lot of different ways on this journey.

 

He's stretched me.

 

Molded me.

 

Opened my eyes.

 

Shaped me.

 

Filled me with His Spirit and confidence.

 

One thing that God has specifically laid on my heart over and over again has been the lesson of asking. It started in Rwanda when he told me that He wanted me to ask Him how He was. That led to countless conversations that He took my breath away with His words to my heart. He challenged me, and spoke personally to me in those times.

 

The past few months He has built on this concept again and again in my heart. Revealing to me how much He delights in me asking him. Not only about how He is, and who He is, but He began to tell me to ask Him for things. Which honestly was kind of weird at first.

 

God you want me to ask? Don't you already know?

 

Yes, but I want you to ask.

 

He told me that He is good, that He does know what I need, and what I am going to ask. But He still calls me to place my heart and my desires in His hands and ask. To allow myself to be vulnerable and ask Him, and let Him delight my heart. Sometimes he answers right away, sometimes later, and sometimes in ways that I do not expect. But He has taught me that He does answer, and that He has a perfect will.

 

So this brings me to where I am now. I asked Him a question, and He told me to ask you. So here I am, presenting my request to you.

 

As we approach our final two months of the World Race, we all are charged with the responsibility of making arrangements for traveling home from New York City at the end of June. It's an exciting yet terrifying thought, to think about going home. I am so excited and looking forward to seeing all of you, my family and friends in a few months! I will be honest, it is sometimes terrifying to think about home, and the transition that is ahead. But mostly there is just excitement resting in my heart for the reunions to come! I cannot wait to share this experience with you all in person soon.

 

With that said, here is my request. I am in need of $300 to help offset the costs of transportation home after I arrive in the United States. Would you prayerfully consider donating to help bring me all the way home to Arizona? You would be donating to me personally, so it is not tax deductible. But it would be a great blessing to me, and if you are trying to think of any good birthday present for me (May 30^th), this is the perfect thing!

 

To donate, this is what you do:

 

1. Send me a message! Let me know that you are donating, and also ask if you have any questions!

2. Log into your Paypal account, and find the tab “Send Money.”

3. Enter in my address, [email protected] as the recipient of the money.

4. Please send me your address so I can send you a Thank You note!

 

Thank you all so much for how you have supported me, prayed for me, and loved me through this amazing journey and process. Please consider supporting me in getting me home after the Race! I cannot wait to share this with you in person.
