When I first heard of The World Race it was January of this year but when I saw the amount, I knew this wasn’t for me. So then suddenly May came and I was graduating college and asking God what was next. Literally the next day, I received an email from WR saying: you know a 9-5 is not all there is, your friends have plans after college, and secretly your parent’s don’t want you to move back in. So I was excited this was the next step, so I prayed and felt like I was to go on a September route. I didn’t feel peace and all I kept hearing was wait so then I saw the January routes and assumed this was it. So I paid the application fee and started moving in the process of getting things ready for me to start this journey. I was soo excited that instead of asking God was this it my prayers turned to asking God to help me and what do I need to do to start fundraising. Nothing came so I took it as I needed to focus on God instead of putting all of my energy into the race.
Lately all I kept hearing was wait and I didn’t want to so I keep going and eventually I had no peace at all. I was trying to fund raise but I literally became tired, I was working off of my flesh and not operating in God at all.
So as a result I am being obedient and waiting until the time is right for me to attend the race. I am lucky to have met some good people that will be embarking January 2015 Route 3. In the short amount of time that we have known each other they have pushed me even closer to Christ. I know that this is not my season and I am only graced to be where God wants me to be.
Lastly, I now have no clue where God is leading me and I have a couple of prayer request. I graduate August 8th and my lease ends August 31st. I originally planned to move back home but I don’t feel that is where God is leading me. So please be in prayer that God would lead me to where he wants me to go. I know that God has not brought me this far to leave me.
