States I’ve been to (hoping to get them all eventually!)
(I’m a little fuzzy on some of them especially in the North but i’m pretty sure this is accurate)
Every county I’ve been to in the US so far
Florida is probably rough cause it’s been 15 years, so I have no idea what I could be missing there
I’m so thankful for this year. I’ve gotten a new computer, been to absolutely insane camps, had an awesome cross-country season (winning the state championship!!), deepened my friendships, and grown closer to the Lord. And we haven’t even gotten into the best time of the year yet.
I don’t think there’s very many people on this planet who have had a better time than I have had this year.
But for now, I have a moment to rest and recover from the insane year so far and prepare for the rest of it. I cannot wait.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights — James 1:17
THE FIRST TIME MY TEAM HAS EVER WON, AND I WAS THERE!!!
This how it had to be, this is how it's gotta be; Walking in purpose I'm living the prophecy
I gotta be everything I was called to be
They after numbers, like Deuteronomy
I know they counted me out, but I keep it moving; Ain't calling no fouls;
Just give it a minute, we'll see who's around; We running the plays, they running their mouth
And it ain't no weak link in the team
Top of the morning, we up and they sleep
Sunday through Saturday, not for the weak
Hard to be humble, the team is elite, so give me my rings
Let’s goooooo!!!! I just ran a 22:35 5k, absolutely crushing my previous PR of 24:10.
The best part is, me and my other team members were only 5 seconds apart, and we all broke our PRs.

W spooky theme, orange is the best color
Also, I had a really fun day today. The last few days have been really fun and it shows no sign of slowing down.
We spent the weekend reading, studying, and praying over John 17, Jesus’ final prayer before being crucified. Moments before being tortured and executed, He prays for us, not for Himself. It’s really crazy how selfless He was.
He died for my sin, even when I literally actively reject Him. And He invites us into a relationship with Him.
Guys I can use Apple Pay on my computer now! Here’s a photo of my friend buying a coffee with it, truly life-changing.
Going to the fall youth retreat today, I’m so excited!
