Update - July 22, 2025, 3:29 p.m.
July 22, 2025 This is it, friends. It’s just a couple days before the Agony. I’m as ready as I will be. This whole experience so far has been an adventure. It’s such an honor to support this amazing community, where they live out the gospel and kingdom-come to draw students, interns, and families to the light that has shined upon us. Jesus has brought us from the kingdom of darkness into His glorious kingdom of light! And you, I am awestruck at your love and support. Thank you! You’re involvement means more than I can express. Love, Karen PS Loving thanks to my husband who will be serving this adventure cooking at one of the SAG stations.
Dear Friends & Family,
Yup, I’m gonna give this a go. Why? Because the students at Christian Encounter Ranch need hope and life, and the love of Jesus lived out each day as they navigate challenging circumstances and trouble. I want to be a part of what God’s doing there. So I will ride my bike.
Mercy!
Karen

Guess?
You Go, Girl – Keep Pedaling! The night is long, the road is mean, But girl, you ride like a biking machine! Your legs might scream, your seat might cry, But you’re flying on faith with Jesus nearby. Each pedal’s a prayer, each mile a cheer, You’re crushing that goal, the finish is near! No saddle pain, no chain can slow The power of "You Go Girl!"—let’s GOOOO! So keep on spinning, don’t you dare stop, You’re climbing this mountain straight to the top. When morning comes, the angels will say, "She biked all night and SLAYED the day!

Good morning friend.... 👋🏻 I imagine you're getting through the hardest part and have daylight to revive you. 💜 Yay! Praying for your stamina. Sitting at the airport on a hard hard seat, with a delayed flight. Just wanted you to feel better lol I'm guessing your butt is hurting more than mine though. Thinking squishy bum thoughts for you 😘😘😘 (It won't let me do a kitty dancing. .gif for you 😭 - she was cute. And the message was "I love you!"

Continuing to watch and cheer from afar! God is so with you in this with every rotation of your pedals. By now, you are probably discovering a breath prayer that keeps you going. In it, may you hear God‘s steady encouragement for you in the moment. Sending hugs!
