“That is so perfect for you!”
“I’m not surprised!”
These are the most common responses I get from those who know me best, when I tell them I have decided to go on the World Race. They obviously know me well for a reason. I love to travel; I love missions, meeting people and serving. However, something many people haven’t realized is how surprisingly timid I have been about this opportunity. I want to be clear in saying how excited I am about the World Race, but I also want you to know how seriously I am taking this entire experience.
Upon making the decision to commit to the World Race, I felt at complete peace. God was obviously pointing me in this direction. He was also making it clear to me that this was not going to be an “easy trip”. There will be ups and downs, fun and difficulties; I will be stretched and placed way out of my comfort zone. Even though the thought of this intimidated me, God made it clear that he is in control of it all and I would be in his arms the whole time. Being placed in circumstances where I will be fully vulnerable and fully reliant on God pushed me into saying yes to the World Race.
Shortly after this feeling of, “here I am Lord, send me”, came the questions, doubts, and concerns. I began thinking about the what-if’s and questioned leaving my family. It has already been a roller coaster of ups and downs in excitement about this upcoming year, but the fun part is what God whispers to me every time the doubts creep in. He says, “That is why you’re going, Lindee, to fall into a place of full reliance on me.” I have been seeing him so clearly as a loving father, calling me to jump in his arms and live the life he has for me
So here we go! Let the adventure begin!
