When I was in America, I dreamed of going on the world race. I was so excited, it was all I ever thought about. I spent an entire year preparing for this trip. I thought going on the world race would in some way complete me because I would finally be living out my dream.

Now here I am, on the world race, wanting to go home.
“Why?” you ask, because I’m selfish.

I miss living comfortably. I miss having a bed and eating whatever I want. I miss not having bugs constantly crawling on me. I miss my family….the list goes on.

And there lies the problem. I’m making this journey all about me and what I want. The reality is, it’s NOT about me, it’s all about JESUS and His KINGDOM. Every time I make this journey about me, I miss the opportunity to see God working.

I need minute-by-minute reminders that this trip doesn’t revolve around me. My purpose here isn’t to be comfortable and happy. I’m here to serve and share Christ’s love.

So I will choose to be content. I will choose to focus on Christ and His kingdom rather than on myself.
