This journey before the World Race could be described as a rollercoaster of emotions. I started this journey last August. Ever since then the Lord has continued to be faithful through donations, prayers, and showing me that this is His plan for me.  A song that really spoke to my heart during this season of life is "Promises" by Maverick City. Some lyrics in the song read, "Great is Your faithfulness from the risi...

Wow! As I sit here and write this post I am in awe. The amount of support I have gotten from everybody has been so amazing. I am in awe because the Lord has been so good throughout this journey. Months ago, I was nervous that I would be nowhere near my fundraising goals, and now I am $3,000 away from my $10,000 goal.  Thank you all who has been praying for me to reach my goal and praying for my overall journey. Th...

Family and Friends,  As many of you know, I have some exciting things coming up this year and I am so delighted to share more about it with you all. This August, I will be leaving for the World Race, an 11 month mission trip to 6 different countries. The World Race mission trip is the next calling the Lord has put on my heart as I pursue my vision/calling to my life. Not many know my testimony, but the Lord called...

Hi all! This journey leading up to the World Race has been such a wild one. There have been many emotions as I have been raising money for the World Race. I always doubt myself whenever I start a new fundraiser, but I know that the Lord will use whatever fundraiser I have going on and using that to reach my goal. With that being said, I am so happy to announce the new fundraiser that I have started.  I have been p...

As the new year is coming, everyone is making goals. I had an interview this past week for a job, and they stressed the importance of making goals. They wanted to make sure that their workers had goals to motivate themselves, to help the company, and to make sure the motivation is there. With the being said and with 2022 being two days away (CRAZY HOW FAST THIS YEAR WENT BY), I have certain goals I want to reach.  ...

In this season of my life, the Lord is teaching me several things. Trusting Him, leaning on Him, surrendering everything to Him, appreciating the relationships that I have in my life, but most importantly, the biggest lesson I am walking in right now is that God is the Prince of Peace.  There is a Hillsong song titled, "Prince of Peace." Some of the lyrics are: "Tearing through the night Riding on the storm S...

Whenever I share with people that I will be doing the World Race next year, the first question, without fail, is "Why?" "Why would you be gone from everything you know for a year?" "Why would you decide to do the World Race instead of getting a job?"  "Why are you going to do missions work in other countries?"  "Why the World Race?" All of those questions have not only crossed other people's minds, but...
