Back in July my daughter, Smooch headed out of the country for a year. She became a World Racer and will be going with her team to 11 different counties. It’s just amazing to me what she’s doing with her life.
You’d think, oh my gosh, traveling the world as a 21 year old, seeing so many different cultures, hanging out with friends would be easy. Not so much. It’s been quite a spiritual journey for her so far. Can you imagine being in one place, feeling like you want to be somewhere else, doing something else, while knowing this is where God wants you?

I’m also asking for you to pray for her: her health (she’s been really sick because her body doesn’t digest oils well and she’s vegan), the team’s safety, that God would continue to use them.
Also, see the top right button on my blog? You can give a tax deductible donation to help her continue on this year long journey. She’s only half way to her goal and needs to have about $8000 more to stay with her team for the rest of the time. Yes, that’s a lot of money, but we have a big God who can do big things!

What amazing work these young people are doing! We have a friend who just came home from Nambia.
What an amazing experience for your daughter! :)
What a life-altering experience! I hope you are able to share more of your daughter's travels. I wish I had traveled more when I was younger. There's so much world to see!
I love that photo of your daughter leaning against the wall! And, yes, I'll sure pray for her and her friends!
That is awesome that she is traveling and living a full life at a young age. I tell my oldest that now is the best time to do that! I hope she raises enough.
What a brave girl! That takes so much courage to travel the world but it comes with so many rewards.
I'm not sure I completely understand what a World Racer is, but what an incredible experience. Wishing her luck!!
Sounds like she's having a time of her life, all while doing Gods work - LOVE IT!
Wow, that's beyond amazing! She's accomplishing a lot at 21 years old. It would have been my dream to travel the world at that age. :-)
What a great journey for your daughter! She will remember this forever!
Such a life changing experience! That is so incredibly awesome, Mimi.
