This all started when one of my darling Race sisters posed the question “What would your impossible prayer request be?” You can check out her story and what happened when she actually prayed her prayer by reading her story here: http://rebekahperkins.theworldrace.org/?filename=1-impossible-thing-honduras
So she posed this question to the squad during the early months of the Race, and the question has haunted me ever since. I started to think about it and I began to hear God asking it to me.
“What is the one prayer you can only get answered from me? What is your impossible prayer?”
You see about a year ago I had this same question asked to me. The answer to that impossible prayer, the one where I asked for the money to come on the Race, is how I find myself sitting in Malaysia writing this blog. So I know He answers impossible prayers. So what did I want to ask for this time?
The only thing that I kept thinking of was how the only debt I have waiting for me when I get home is my student loan debt. My plan was to come back to the States for a year or two and focus on nothing but paying them off. To me, those loans are the biggest chain holding to the States. (Side note: Family and Friends please know I love you a lot, but if I have to choose between living close to you and sharing God’s love around the world, traveling for Him will ALWAYS win!)
So my impossible prayer for the remainder of the year is to ask for God to pay off my loans by December 31…of THIS year.
For me it is impossible because I can in no way contribute. I am not making any money, or even paying them down this year, I have them on hold until I get home. I am still not sure what life is going to look like when I get home, so I don’ t know if will get a job right away, if I will be moving away, or if I will be sticking around. So I am praying that God provides $19,362.98 by the end of this year.
So there it is. I would love it if you could join me in praying this prayer and watching how God decides to answer it. I am sure it will blow my mind!
