While we were in Istanbul for a few days, my friend and fellow racer Ashley Higgins decided to create a video about redemption and the beauty of that in some of our sister’s lives.  The video is absolutely incredible.  It whispers to me to remember the things that God has done in my past, and praise him for that redemption.  It also challenges me to look to the future and pray for the redemption of those around me.

The ministry was wonderful! The children’s pastor, Dave, is a great man of faith.
