So I have arrived to Washington D.C.! We have just got back from our first night session! I can not believe that the time has come that it is actually here!! My World Race Journey has begun today!! It still blows my mind to think that I will be gone from what I call my normal for 11 months.I know I will miss all of my people so much but I know that I have been called to do something bigger for the Lord. I have been called out to go to the nations and spread his word! I have no doubt in my mind that this is what I am supposed to be doing at this moment in time. I never dreamed in a million years that I would be doing something like this. The people that know me best would probably agree with me. This trip is so not like me to leave my comfort zone and completely leave everything up to God. I have tried to fight this so many times and God has continued to show me and confirm to me over and over that I am supposed to be on The World Race. I will admit that I am scared of what is to come in these next 11 months. I have no clue what to expect, no clue what I will encounter or come in contact with while on my journey. I do not know how I am going to manage being away from everyone for so long. I know that God is going to bless my efforts and everything will work out for his glory but, I want to have control over it and I have to let go and just let God have complete control. I am weak with out him, he is my strength and though I may fail many times thoroughout this next year, I know that he will never fail me. He is our protector and he will take care of his children! I love the saying that he doesn't call the quailified but he qualifies the called! This statement is so true! I will never feel like I am qualified to go on this journey but I know that he has called me and he will equip me. It is my prayer that God will strip away all my fears and worries about these next 11 months and just let me completely rely on him. As it says in his word in Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose." I know that everything will work out if I will just trust in him. May I remove any expectation that I may have about this trip. As it says in Mark 20:26-28, "Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” May we all live our lives as servants for Christ, serve others in all that we do, and put others' needs above our own needs!
