Wow, the day has finally arrived! Tomorrow morning, I start my journey to California to meet my new friends for the Just Hope tour. There are so many thoughts running through my head, but surprisingly I feel this calm within me. To be honest at this point, I thought I'd be "freaking out" about this upcoming adventure, but I believe God is keeping me calm for a reason. He is asking all of us to pursue this opportunity to reach out to others and to communicate the oppression occurring in Southeast Asia. I'm so excited to be given this chance and to have pushed aside feelings of fear and uncertainty to go after this. I pray God will open up our hearts and keep our minds and legs strong as we pedal our way along the California coast.

Thank you guys! This experience is so hard to describe in words, but it was definitely life-changing and has renewed my faith! I'm excited to participate in future Venture rides and see what God has planned for me :)
