I can hardly believe it I’m just less than one week away from leaving! I’m so excited to see all that the Lord has in store and to step into this next season with so much hope and faith. This past month has been a whirlwind of last minute shopping, packing, and soaking up those final precious moments with so many of my favorite people. August has been filled with love, laughter, tears, stress, and above all, gratitude.

Some of the highlights from this month have been my last bonfire Bible study with friends, a cabin trip with my dad’s side of the family, and watching all of my sisters play volleyball. I also got to spend time at worship nights and was so blessed to have so many sweet people pray over me. While it’s been hard saying goodbye and experiencing so many “lasts” (at least until next May), I’ve also made countless joyful memories that I’ll carry with me along the way. Even in the goodbyes, I know that the Lord is faithful and that this season will be worth it. 

I’m beyond thankful for the incredible people God has placed in my life and for the amazing church community he’s surrounded me with. Thank You, Jesus, for such a sweet August and for every person who has walked alongside me during this time. Right now, I’m 58% funded for the World Race! If you’d like to partner with me whether through prayer, financial support, or by sharing connections—I would be so grateful. The link to donate is attached below. Thank you to everyone who has supported me already. I’ll be sure to keep you all updated. Love y’all too much!!
