Last night I was reading in John the about Jesus and the
Samaritan woman at the well. There a
many things that this passage says about Jesus, but for some reason I kept
thinking about what the woman woke up expecting that day. She probably just expected it to be an
ordinary day and she wouldn’t have had a clue who she was going to meet or who
He was going to be. What we expect to
happen and what often happens is not always the same thing. When it comes to what I expect to happen on
the World Race, I don’t really know how to answer. I expect that at different times this journey
will be challenging, exhilarating, and humbling. I’m exited about what God is going to do and
about the opportunity to love and serve others around the world. I except that I will come back different, changed. My prayer is to keep an open heart and mind and remember that I don’t
have to rely on my own strength but on the strength of Christ.
