Hey everyone.
So how ’bout it, huh?
The next two years of my life are going to be interesting. I’m not sure what God has in store for me in the whole World Race Missionary process. I say it like that only because every part of the next couple of years has me looking to God saying “Really?” And then when He says “Really.” I can only say, “Alright, then.”
I remember saying to a friend one day “As I continue to really grow into who I am, I’m finding that it’s really sort of daunting.” I’m not sure how I explained it at the time. But now that I have uploaded a picture and a bio to jacobhoyer.theworldrace.org I can really only be daunted as I contemplate the situation in which God has now placed me. I’m excited to see the ways in which I grow closer to God as well as the people around me as I seek His face and His purpose. As I near college graduation in May I can see God removing the training wheels of life, in fact I’ve anticipated it for a while. What I wasn’t anticipating before was that God planned for me to run the Tour D’France, not just a short ride down the sidewalk.
If I wasn’t confident that He would make it happen I’m not sure how I would cope with the realization that I am being given an opportunity to give it all up and live the life of a servant among the least of these. Confident, however, that his plans were laid out before I was born, now I stand at the base of a steep mountain, with my Savior at my side, confident that if worst comes to worst He can at least carry me the rest of the way.
