As I sit here thinking about what I should type, I can’t stop thinking about how there’s no way this is real. If you would have told me 10 years ago that I was leaving my family and friends to go on the World Race I would have either laughed in disbelief or cried so hard in fear. Maybe I would have cried or laughed at that news because I couldn’t even sleepover at a friends house NEXT DOOR, let alone even think about leaving the country. Maybe its because fear seemed to be creeping in to every aspect of my life at that time. Who knows, but there’s no way I would have believed you.
We serve a bigger God than that though. The kind that leads you where your trust is without borders, the kind that fights for you to feel free from ANY fear lingering in your life, the kind that loves without measures and LOVES to push you out of your comfort zone. That is how good our God is. God has presented a life changing opportunity for me and it is called the World Race.
Traveling to 11 countries in 11 months seems like a crazy idea doesn’t it? Or is it the fact that I will be living out of a hiking pack for 11 months? Or it could be that I will be with a team of complete strangers for a year (who will eventually become my family). Again, there’s no way.
To be honest though, there is a way. It requires me to leave my comfort zone and be pushed beyond measure physically, emotionally and spiritually. In January, I will be stepping in to the next season of life that God has called me to and I cannot do it without you. I cannot wait to share more with you as we embark on this journey together, as this is only the beginning.
I love you all.
