I've learned over the past few years that everyone does not have the same calling. When I started working full time at my new job I loved it but when a few months went by boredom hit. I started begging God for this to not be His official "calling" for me. I thought that wanted the "American Dream" of working in my hometown, finding the southern boy of my dreams, and living happily ever after. I started to ponder on my future if it did go that way and wasn't too impressed. I'd love to be able to do those things but not at 21. I needed more life experience than what Hawkinsville could offer even though I love my small town.
I remembered going to Scotland with AIM when I graduated high school and my team leader, Kristen Huey was pursuing The World Race the following year. At that time I was 18 and wasn't of age to qualify so I just stashed it away til now. I have no better time than now to go. I am young, have nothing holding me down, and I am willing.
I believe God has called me to go and come back to inspire others in my small town that theres a big world out there full of opportunities and God is just waiting for them to say yes. I have a passion for investing in younger life and I know that is what I can and will do on the race and after the race.
PS- I'm so glad this thing has spell check!
