how we were called to this mission
trip. Here is my story…
To get here I came through a couple of hurdles, trusting God to direct my path. Last year I was chosen for the Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship to do a Masters in Global Health abroad. In the end, I did not feel peaceful about it. Something just didn’t feel right. I thought, “God, why would you bless me with this amazing scholarship, but not want me to do it?” I trusted God, and I went back to Rotary and thanked them for the honor of being an Ambassador but that I could not fulfill the duties.
I went from knowing what was going to happen for the next year to an open road. I again prayed for guidance, but didn’t feel any clear direction. So I just figured I would apply for a Masters here in California. It seemed like the next logical step. Then, I was literally in the middle of filling out my application to do a Masters in Global Health at Loma Linda University when I saw a Facebook add for the World Race and thought, “Huh, that sounds interesting.” I clicked on it.
After I read about it, I just started crying. I felt the same way I did when I took the step of faith to do YWAM. I felt the Holy Spirit move and I asked God what He wanted me to do, the Masters or the World Race? With open hands I gave Him back what I thought I was going to be doing for the next two years. I was very willing to do whatever it was He wanted for me. I felt an extreme peace about the World Race. I got more info, and then asked God to confirm it through my mom, again. This time her answer was an immediate and excited, “Yes!” She said, “This sounds like you!” 🙂
