Recently, I've been connecting with God more and prioritizing time with the Lord. I've been able to take a step back and truly soak in all of the blessings He has brought me and one of the things I am so thankful for is the World Race. At the beginning of my journey with AIM, I was so hesitant to say "yes". God placed serving on my heart, but in all honestly I didn't feel worthy of serving in His kingdom. That's a crazy thought to have, right? But after Drew being so persistent and so so so many prayers, I finally did officially join the Race. Immediately, I was surrounded by love for Christ and began building connections with my squad mates. Gap G was such a blessing, I grew so close to each and every one of those sweet people in a different way. In Georgia, I learned so much and I made so many memories. Now that I've switched routes and am beginning to form relationships with my new squad and I couldn't be more grateful for each and every one of them!

I can go on and on about how thankful I am for the relationships the Race has brought along with it. But, what I'm most thankful for is how I've grown. I've grown in my relationship with God, I'm more open about my faith, more outgoing, adventurous, excited for life and so much more! God has moved mountains for me, and within me.
