Bias: a particular tendency or inclination, especially one that prevents unprejudiced consideration of a question.
Let me just say it now and get it off my chest: I am biased towards a certain country on the Race. I know, I know, being biased is unfair to all of the other countries! But I can't help it. I'm in love. With?
KENYA!!!
You see, it's really not my fault. I lived there this past summer and fell in love with the culture and the people. The month before we go to Kenya is probably going to be the hardest month of all for me, because I'll be lost in anticipation for the next month! And don't even think about asking me to leave after a month…I may just finish my Race there. Not gonna lie.
My tendency or inclination is to Kenya, and yes, it definitely causes prejudiced consideration of anything else. Why would I want to go anywhere else when my heart has told me that Kenya is home? To be honest, I'm not sure. I just know that for now this is what God has asked of me, so guess what? I'm gonna do it. And I'm really gonna try hard not to be biased.
It's easy for me to love 95% of people, so I'm sure I won't have a problem in the other countries (God is working on me, helping me figure out how to love the other 5%). I'm going to bring Jesus to Ireland, Russia, Ukraine, Tanzania, Mozambique, India, Nepal, Cambodia, Asia, and Malaysia just as much as I'll bring Him to Kenya. But I can almost guarantee that the biggest piece of my heart will be left in that beautiful country.
