Often times people believe that being Christian means being “perfect.” Well I guess I am possibly the one to change that WHOLE perspective!
I don’t have scriptures memorized, I won’t tell you that your beliefs are wrong and mine are better, I don’t think I am better than you, I do go out and have drinks with my friends, I have sinned, I am sometimes judgemental, and I am kinda a control freak.
I heard a “wisper” to join the world race, and let me tell you…I will never be the same. I live in the upper east side of New York City, I plan events for an extra income, I love being the life of the party, and I love nice expensive things ( well….I did).
When I felt called to join the world race I honestly thought…God you are nuts! I DO NOT like nature (aka camping and birds) and I fully appreciate and enjoy nice dinners and warm showers. So I challenged God. How about I just throw charity events, therefore I can help those without really changing my life.
Lesson 1: You have to be changed before you can change others
…….SO 10 weeks later- I am done with training camp. I trust God with all my decisions ( wow, no more stress from control). When I feel alone, I pray ( yes, that means I sleep more than 4 hours a night now instead of filling my nights with parties). I actually stick up for what I believe is right, and am BOLD with my faith. I don’t care about fitting it. I am moving out of my apartment and moving back home…..and SELLING EVERYTHING that doesn’t fit into a 70 liter pack!
I don’t judge my friends for their mistakes, but I LOVE THEM….fully and deeply. I want to inspire those around me to forget your un-fufilling mundane life, yawn…I did it and it just leaves you craving more and more and more…..
If you have questions, feel free to ask! Im excited to share and excited to see my life be changed. Im thrilled to be challenged and help those that can’t help themselves. I may be pulling a Jerry Mcguire ( sending out a mass message that could very well hurt your lifestyle) but I don’t care. I am excited to Let Go!
Editors Note : Your life doesn’t have to be crap for you to give up everything….my life was pretty sweet before I signed up for this Rice and Beans for a year plan. It’s about knowing deep down that you are missing something, that all the world could never fill!
