Well, I’ll tell you!
I’ve always wanted to do mission work but I never gave myself the chance to do so. I never thought I was “Christian enough” or “sinless enough” and now that I have this opportunity and I’m facing my fears I realize how silly that sounds. I mean, God calls anyone at any point of their lives to follow Him, the past doesn’t matter! So when I was given the information for the World Race I came up with so many reasons as to how it couldn’t work and God came back with each one and said “…so why not? ” and after I ran out of excuses and God said the final “like I’ve been saying…why not?” then I realized that he’s right. Why not?
I finally let go of the fears and realized that God has made me for this! I mean, on a personal level…he made ME for mission trips like this. I’ve always been a dreamer, thinking of ways I could make big differences but never acting on anything. After a certain point I came to the conclusion that it need to stop talking and start doing. God made me with a very special heart and if I don’t use the potential given to me then I’m not honoring God’s will and that’s not what I want.
So here I am. I’ve been accepted into the world race and I’m trying to prepare myself for the biggest most exciting adventure God has called me to (so far) and I’m just reeling with anticipation. I’m ready to get on the race! To meet my team. To change lives! Not just overseas but here in my local town and surrounding areas. God is in the process of changing my life and my heart and I hope you all will stick around for the journey because I know it’s going to be crazy. And I SO can’t wait. 🙂
