So I finally wrapped up my finals, sent in my papers, sold my text books and said goodbye to another semester.
Now that I actually have time to sit and process I am realizing that this is actually happening. I am going on the World Race. I am writing a blog post right now for my World Race blog. I am sending out letters to fundraise for the World Race. Another semester has gone by leaving me months closer to when I will actually get on a plane and leave for the…you guessed it..World Race!
I have been reading blog post from other racers for about 5 years, dreaming of the day when it will be my turn. To be honest I am still in somewhat shock that this is all happening. Im not in shock that I was accepted because I have no doubt that this is what God has planned for me, but I am shocked that this time is actually here. That after 5 years of reading packing list and watching videos, this dream has become my reality.
I find myself constantly thinking, “This time next year I will be….” To think that I am going to all the amazing countries on my route just blows my mind.
Cote d’Ivorie
Ghana
Burkina Faso
India
Nepal
Cambodia
Thailand
El Salvador
Honduras
Guatemala
Belize
I mean just look at that list. I am going to all of those places. God is going to teach me so much along this journey and I just can’t wait to get started.
The crazy thing is that God is already using the World Race to sculpt me. Attempting to fundraise has taught me so much about myself and about how amazing the community of Christians can be.
Fundraising is hard and super scary. I’ve had to talk to many friends and mentors until I feel somewhat comfortable asking loved ones for money. It’s still something I am struggling with but it is cool to see that God is using this time to humble me and teach me about His kingdom.
So that is what’s new with me and I guess that means I am done writing my first blog post for the World Race!! ahhhhh!!
Thank you for reading and hope you have a merry merry Christmas.
