We were asked what we wanted out of this journey , and it made me think exactly what I’m hoping for . So here’s 11 reasons I choose the world race
1) to not know what a comfort zone is anymore .
I’m really good at finding my comfort zone and staying in it until anything outside if that tiny box is scary .
2) not allow my fear to gage my reaction .
When I’m scared I get snippy , irritated and usually cry because I don’t know what else to do. I didn’t come here to let fear stop me from doing what God is asking me to do .
3) see the impossible
I’m believing that we will see healings, limbs growing out
Jesus said we will do even greater things than him , I’m believing he actually meant that .
4)embrace culture
I love the way other cultures do some things, the tradition in small activities. I’m excited to see what each culture we see entails
5) to suck it up
We all know there will be times with no bathrooms , or a whole in the ground and , or sick puking with no toilet . In those moments. Suck it up
6) to be okay speaking in front of people
It’s a known fact that world racers are often out on the spot during church services and told they need to preach at that moment . I’d love to get to a point where the possibility of that happening doesn’t make me want to go under a rock
7) be independent
I enjoy traveling alone , but figuring out busses and flights is hard for me , I’m not experienced enough , I’m excited for the day that booking a flight is not big deal .
8)having a reason to be away from social media and all wifi 98% of the time .
I realize most of who I am in those weeks with no wifi , all of a sudden I have time to read and enjoy people , I love those moments
9) learn to love community
I love time alone , for me it’s a necessity at times . But I know sometimes I take it too far and stay in my head instead of engaging with others like I know I should .
10) this year I’m excited to read and understand the word more than I ever have .
I feel like often I read the word but I don’t understand it , I’m excited to be patient enough to allow the word to come to life in my life .
11) find Ashley
I know it’s a continual process finding yourself , but I’m excited to have this year to focus on that more than any other year .
So those are my 11 reasons I choose the race.there are way more than 11 reasons , but this blog would be way too long if I listed them all !
I’m so excited to see what God will do this year .
Financially
I’m in need of $2200 to reach my third goal out of four goals . Please help me be able to stay on the race
Prayer
Please pray for boldness , this past week has been very stretching for me , boldness is needed.
