My eyes redden and I soon begin to gasp in stuttered breaths. I can feel the warmth of the water as it dances its way down my face in misguided streams. I’m crying. I blink my eyes and wipe my face in an unsuccessful effort to gain composure. These tears aren’t of regret, sorrow, or hold mourning of something that once was. These are tears of joy, fear, and sheer utter bewilderment. These tears are of the realization that I now know what god is calling me to do. I am going on the world race gap year. I was overjoyed, overwhelmed, but mostly afraid. “How am i going to raise that much money? This is crazy, do I really want to go through with this? Am I even ready for this?.” My mind was being bombarded but as i discussed my fears with friends and family god spoke through them and the truth soon started to seep in.
I wont be able to raise that much money, but God can.
This IS crazy, but God does crazy miraculous things.
You aren’t ready for this, but God is.
Dear people of the internet world,
As you all probably know from the above paragraph, I am going on the World Race Gap Year! Awesome right? Well if you don’t know what that is it’s a nine month long missions trip to Central America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. We are spending three months in each country where we are going to love on orphans and widows and show the love of Christ to those in need all while bringing glory to god! We are leaving September 2014 and will be getting back May 2015. The only problem is its 11,900 dollars… That being said if any of you have any money, any at all, that you would be willing to sponsor me with it would mean so much to me and I would be so unbelievably grateful. Even if its only a dollar I would be that much closer to being able to go on this trip. And if you aren’t able to sponsor me then I ask for your prayers and encouragement as I prepare for this trip. Thank You so much!
