Hello!
So as you know I have decided to go on the Worldrace.
To go to 11 countries, in 11 months, with about 55 people I have never met before, to go help & love others in need!
This has been such an unexpected turn of events in my life, and I’ll tell you a little about how I found the world race & why I am going.
I had such an extreme desire to go travelling next year but when I thought about going away with friends for an extended period of time, I couldn’t imagine doing it for my own purposes & as a Christian, how it would help my walk with Jesus.
So I started researching. I found this thing called the World Race and had such a determination to be a part of it and started applying straight away.
Because it is with an American based organisation, Adventures in Missions, I was wondering if any Australian had ever even done it before, is that something that I would be able to do? It sounded too good to be true but it just seemed right.
I was accepted & immediately freaked out.
Suddenly my life here at home was too good to give up.. I spent many weeks making what seemed like the hardest decision I’ve ever made. There were so many things happening in my heart & I felt like I was getting pulled in every direction, mind going in circles.
But, I came to realise what God was truly asking of me, and in short – to get closer to him & not put him on hold any longer. And this is how I have answered that – by saying yes to the unknown & going on this crazy adventure with Him.
So I’m giving up the silk robes, long baths & fine dining (my fave’s) to bring Gods good message of love & hope to places where there is none.
I want to make a difference in my life here on Earth. And to be really honest I want to learn how to love more myself. Love anyone because everyone deserves it.
I think its hilarious that God would allow me to do something like this! A Christian mission trip like this. Perhaps anyone with a colourful past would understand why. The feelings of not being worthy or knowledgeable enough or good enough have definitely come up but really I know that my weakness is His strength & that’s good enough for me.
I just ask that you pray for me on this trip. I need every one of those prayers! And if you feel led to make a monetary donation that will help cover the trip costs, that would be amazing.
I am planning to blog more & want to be as real & honest as possible through the experience so please follow if you’re interested!
Love
