I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
I have worn a bracelet on my left wrist with this Bible verse for the past 7 years. I have clung to this verse through daily happenings and more importantly during some devastating times in my life. This year, I felt God calling me to look further; look beyond. He’s called me to reach abroad to see the strength he brings to those in countries that have very little. On a recent mission trip to Arcahaie, Haiti I saw first-hand how Jesus is present in the poorest of areas. I also witnessed how water refreshes, brings people together, provides hope and sustains life. It’s something so simple, yet so necessary and yet we take it for granted each day. I heard about Hope Water International and I wanted to be a part of a positive impact where working together we raise funds to provide fresh water wells for those in need. I have been training weekly since April to walk a half-marathon on October 6th and I am hoping you will join me by praying, walking alongside me in spirit and financially supporting this great cause! Together we can do all things with Christ who strengthens us!
