Lord Send Revival

Hello and welcome back to my blog, so glad you’re here! 

I am excited to update everyone on the last few weeks about fundraising, life, and my gap year in general. Obviously, the entire world has been hit by something none of us saw coming, and as I prepare to leave the country for nine months, I became very fearful of the future. As soon as travel bans were put into place, countries started to close their borders, and the entire world started to freak out ,I was unsure of what would happen to my gap year. I turned to God and trusted that he had this all in his hands. I know he is in control and that I will continue to seek him in this difficult and questionable time. 

A few weeks ago , I had a call with my World Race Mentor, Mack (who happens to be the coolest person ever!!) and she instilled in me that during this difficult time, the Lord is doing so much right now . She encouraged me to believe that this will all be a story of crazy faith, with this I continue to be faithful to a God who has never failed and won’t start now. I know that this is all God’s doing because I have spent my time prioritizing reading my bible (& only God knew how badly I need this). In  my time in Mark I found a verse that is so relevant at a time like this. “… Jesus told them “Don’t be afraid ; just believe” Mark 5:36, just as Jesus told “them”, he continues to tell me. 

I also had the opportunity to Zoom call my World Race squad and they are the greatest people, I instantly got along with them and I cannot wait to do life with them.  Fundraising has been such a joy and I am on fire for it. I have spent some of my time in quarantine writing and sending out my support letters, as well as sending out my T-shirts that I sold. Also, for the month of April, I am partnering with an awesome jewelry company called Go Rings  where 30% of the purchases made with the code KAYLAWORLDRACE will go towards my trip. I’m so excited for the opportunities that fundraising has already brought and will continue to bring. 

COVID-19 has ripped away the last few months of my senior year that I have been dreaming about for years and my time with my best friends is spent in a parking lot 6 feet away, as we question if we will even be able to walk the stage at graduation. Obviously the conditions of the world around us are far from desirable but I am remaining hopeful that (in the words of Hillsong Young & Free) the Lord will send revival. I ask for your continued support and prayers for peace and trust to believe just that. Thank you. 

Wash your hands & Stay Home,
