Who on your race, outside of people on your squad, has made the most impact on you and why? My parents, they lead by example and they are always there for me. I know that I am here because the Lord has called me here but I was able to be obedient to that call because of the way that my parents live their life. My friends have also been really important to me, they are so supportive; they comment on my blogs, send me encouragement and things like that, it’s really cool!

What is the toughest thing you’ve had to walk through on the race? Watching a little girl pass away in Greece, it is so hard to watch Satan bring death and destruction but I’ve also learned so much about how the Lord has come to bring life and to bring it abundantly. The most incredible part about it is that he has chosen us to be his vessels for that.
