I'm a hot mess of emotions.
Here's the most current list (in no particular order) of what I'm feeling in regards to The World Race.
Disclaimer: This is not a comprehensive list.
Disclaimer to the Disclaimer: It's honest. So, yes, it's not all pretty.
Anticipation: This is a longed-for event that has been over two years in the making. I am so ready for it to occur.
Trepidation: The unknowns of 2013 loom before me. My heart trembles when I think about it all.
Trust: "Yet I am always with You; You hold me by my right hand. You guide me with Your counsel, and afterward You will take me into glory." [Psalm 73:23-24] .enough said.
Wonder: I'm so humbled that my God would entrust me to go. …ME! Just a broken mess of a person fully and completely redeemed by Him…
Frustration: That I'm walking away –again– from something I love, in order to follow His voice.
Joyful: Because 'His love really is better than life' [Psalm 63:3]
Unnerved: I will be wrecked before the Lord God. Amen.
Worry: That I won't look cute in pictures for a year. (go ahead, laugh at this one)
Grief: Because I'm leaving behind a season of my life that I absolutely delight in.
Confident: Of the call to go.
Excitement: 11 countries. 11 months. Intense community. Complete abandonment. Changed lives.
