When people find out you are leaving on an 11-month mission trip you get the typical,
“Where are you going?”
“What are you doing?”
“How awesome! Tell me more.”
Ect, ect.
But the one that I feel a lot of us racers get is,
“Will you meet Mr./Ms. Right on this race?”
And the only answer I can give is, I don’t know… and I don’t care.
I didn’t sign up for the World Race to meet “the one”.
God called me on this race because I have a heart and a passion for lost souls in foreign countries.
He called me to serve him in a capacity that will push me out of my comfort zone and challenge me in ways I never thought possible.
He called me to be solely reliant on him and him alone.
There is a reason when you sign up for the World Race that you sign a “No Dating” contract.
They want you focused on the mission you have been given. To serve and spread the Gospel to all nations.
No distractions and present with where you are.
If you are going on the race to obtain your “MRS” degree than you may need to reevaluate your motivations and heart.

If I meet my future husband on the race. Awesome.
If I don’t. Awesome.
I am not worried about that aspect of my life anymore.
In the past I always pictured myself married by 21, kids by 25… a happy housewife.
And I am so incredibly grateful that God did not allow that future to happen!
I would not have been the individual I am today, ready to dive head first into a calling that God put on my heart when I was 7-years old.
—
So instead of asking me if I will meet my future significant other, ask me how God will work in my life.
Ask me what I am fearful of.
Ask me what I am excited for.
Ask me what I could use prayer for.
I am on this race for God. No one else.
