Hi everyone! At this point, I have been home for about a week. It has been a time of grieving. A time of celebration. A time of change. The transition has proved its challenges. It will continue to. However, there is a sweetness to it when I seek God amidst it all. I have been pursuing what it looks like to abide in God. Amidst different circumstances, different communities. I can stand confident in the steadfastness of God, and with a lot of His grace, I can continue to pursue steadfastness in His Spirit. It hasn’t been easy. I’ve already seen a lot of my weaknesses. But that is where the power of Christ is perfected. The beauty in the hardships and weakness is that I know I have to be dependent on God. In that way He is glorified. Christ in us, the hope of glory!

I want to say thank you. Thank you! For your prayers. Your reading of my blogs. The comments. The encouragement. Your love has impacted my journey! As I transition out of the world race season, I would love to share with you if you have any questions or want to learn more about the experience. It has been such a blessing to have your prayers and support over these nine months. You all mean so much to me!

With all that being said, you may be wondering what’s next?

I have committed to going back in the fall for 3 months as the leadership team! I will be discipling young men as they start this journey themselves. This will look like six weeks of teachings in Georgia, and six weeks of missions in Costa Rica! It is a real blessing to be able to step into this opportunity. The separate blog below this is my support letter as I am fundraising again. Please pray about any way God wants you to partner with me on my trip. I would also love to have your continued prayers. I have seen the fruit of them over these nine months and I would love for you to continue to fight for me!

I will be continuing to use the same link to share my experiences. I hope to blog some over the summer as I continue my walk, and to share during my season of leadership in the fall. I pray that I can continue to be an encouragement to others through this blog.

Thank you all! A sweet season has ended, but a sweet season has begun.
