Hi everyone! Here is a little blip on why I am feeling lead to do the World Race:
I want to do the world race because it is so crazy of a concept it is bound to be amazing. Abandoning my comfortable condo to sleep in a tent and on floors. Giving up the TV to strengthen the bonds with my Heavenly Father and cultivate God centered relationships around me. Giving up the comfort of the familiar people around me, the places I know, and constant cash flow for strange and exciting new places, and quitting my job. Do you think this is crazy? Most days I do too, but I feel it is a challenge that God is calling me to do. Scary? YES! But if I never did any of the things I was fearful of then I wouldn't have grown nearly as much as I have in the past few years. Besides in MY God is an AWESOME God, no worries needed! He says:
For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. (Isaiah 41:13)
I think returning scares me more then the actual trip though. I think it sounds like an awesome adventure but life definitely doesn't stand still while I will be gone. It will be interesting to return home, to a world that changed without me. BUT I am living in this moment and the excitement of preparing for the adventure of a life time…. and trusting God that He is going to have this all work out for His Glory, and my good. Thank you Jesus!
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. (Psalm 55:22)
It's not really a poem, just a few thoughts on my brain….
Why I Want to Do the World Race…
I want to do the world race because I want to be the hands and feet of Christ…
I want to do the world race because I know my heart will change and grow for the better….
I want to do the world race because I want God to touch lives, to changes lives, through me….
I want to do the world race because I want to learn to trust and rely on God more then I ever have before….
I want to do the world race because I want to see His face, in the people, in the sunrise and sunset, in the poorest of places and in the richest of places…
Thanks for reading!
Kristi
