a picture is worth a thousand words

hey everyone, just want to sare a little bit of what’s been going on at the world race, but I thought it would be super fun if instead of writing a blog about all the cool things that have gone down, i would instead share a bunch of pictures of life on the world race! so here we go!

i swear the sky is just so pretty i can't add enough pictures of it

every night we have the coolest sunsetsfound sooooo many muscadines

laundry, but do it in buckets.

 

i don’t have my phone during the day most days so it’s hard to capture a lot of the spirit of what’s happening, and ahhh do i wish i could share the abundant sprit which i’m daily consumed in here, but i hope these pictures can in some way give a glimpse of the awesome things God is doing! He’s doing some crazy things and i cannot wait to share more! i’ve never been so captivated by God in my whole life and i pray that each person reading this will experience the same overwhelming spirit i am experiencing too!!!

  1. hey Jeff, it’s so nice to hear from you!! the verses i used were:

    John 6:35 “And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.” … Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

    John 7:38 “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

    Psalm 107:9 “For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.”

    Psalm 16:11 “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

    also thank you so much for helping support me!! praying for God to move in your life in big ways!

  2. Thank you for sharing all of these pictures! LOVED getting a glimpse of your lives there at WR! And yes, I think you’ve succeeded in capturing the spirit of what God is doing – in the JOY on all of your faces! Thanks for sharing!

  3. What a fun post! Love getting to see these snapshots! You are a great photographer! Praying for you all as you run after God’s heart with all of yours.

  4. Clayton, this is Jeff that was volunteering with you guys in Lake Charles. The devotional you did really hit home with me and I was hoping you could share the scriptures you discussed if you still have those notes. If not, no biggie.

    Saw you were short of your fundraising goal so chipped in a little. Hope it helps.

    Take care and hope all of you guys are doing well
