As I was spending time with God, I feel that He gave me this vision for the World Race trip, and this is my personal prayer:
"She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy."
"She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come".
"She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue." –Proverbs 31:20, 25-26
What I'm Excited About:
- To glorify God, to get to know Him in new ways, and to share God
- To see God work and to be working for Him full-time
- To share Christ through support-raising
- To help others
- To experience true fellowship and unity with my team
- To meet to people, cultures, and countries
- To be able to try to speak Spanish
- To personally grow and change
- To hopefully become less materialistic
- To go on an adventure
- To know that God has a plan and good works for me to do
- To experience the warmer weather of the countries and to miss the Minnesota winter for 1 year 😉
What I'm Concerned About:
- That something really bad will happen to my family or myself while I’m away/before I go
- For the health of my family while I'm gone and for my health on the race
- That my mom will worry about me so much
- That I'll miss everyone and everything back at home a lot or that they will miss me
- That I may feel bitter if people don't support me financially or that many people won't want to
- That it'll be super duper hot in some countries
- That team relationships will be hard
- That I won't be able to sleep well at night because of being afraid when sleeping in a tent or something
- That I won't know the right Scriptures to say or that I won't be able to communicate well due to language barriers
- That I'll be missing my sister's college grad ceremony
- That it will be a little too late to get a teaching job once I come back
Well the "Excited" list is 1 bullet point longer than the "Concerned" list, so that's good! I know that God is my protector, strength, and provider. I'll just have to be praying, and if you, dear reader ;-), would like to pray as well, I'd super appreciate that!
