Serving Where He Leads

Hi friends and family!

I can’t believe we’re just about one month away from launch!

I’m currently sitting at 85% funded, which is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for your prayers, encouragement, and  support. I truly wouldn’t be able to do this without the way so many of you have partnered with me. Your faithfulness has reminded me again and again that God provides through His people.

Two weeks ago, I had the privilege of leading a group of 6th and 7th grade girls at our middle school summer camp. And let me tell you, God moved. Half of the girls in my group accepted Jesus for the first time. Watching them take that step brought me to tears. Their childlike faith and hunger to know God reminded me why I’m saying yes to the World Race. I want to serve with a heart like theirs. Open, surrendered, and ready.

At camp, we talked a lot about having a servant’s heart. What it means to serve not because we have to, but because we get to. Jesus showed us this perfectly when He washed His disciples’ feet. Serving others isn’t glamorous or always easy, but it’s deeply holy. I’m learning that when we pour out our lives for others, it draws us closer to the heart of Jesus. Whether it’s leading girls at camp, caring for kids, or sharing the Gospel across the world, it’s all worship.

Speaking of kids, my nanny job continues to be such a gift. I’m getting closer to the littles I watch, and I really see God working in my patience, my gentleness, and my consistency. Please continue to pray for me in this area, that I would love them well, even on the hard days, and that I’d have patience in the moments I feel worn thin. These small, daily acts of love matter.

At church yesterday, we were in Psalms 41, and one verse stuck with me deeply:

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” – Psalm 46:1

Our pastor reminded us that where we run first shows us who (or what) we truly worship. That hit me hard. Do I run to Jesus first, or do I run to control, comfort, or distraction? As I prepare to leave everything familiar for this next season, I want to be someone who runs straight to Jesus because He is enough.

As launch day gets closer, I would love your continued prayers. Would you pray for:

• Confidence as I step into this next chapter
• Clarity to hear God’s voice and follow His leading
• A deeper understanding of who He’s calling me to be and how He’s calling me to serve

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for being part of this journey. Let’s keep running after Jesus with hearts ready to serve, love, and say yes to wherever He leads!
