"What am I doing?"
For so long I’ve talked about my world race that I’ve become numb to what I’m doing. I’ve rattled off the countries I’m going to so many times that I can now list them like I would a shopping list. I have moments of absolute terror/excitement, but all in all I’ve become numb to what is about to happen…until now.
Here I sit a little over a week away from my adventure and I can’t help thinking,
“What the heck am I doing?!”
The more and more I ask God this question the more and more He shows me it is all about love. It is all about His love for me, my love for people, His love for people, and His love for people through me.
“Dear Children, let us not love with words and tongue, but with actions and in truth. “ 1 John 3:18
On the other hand, even knowing the purpose of this wild, God adventure doesn’t exactly take away the fear of the unknown that keeps bombarding me. Again God so patiently reminds me it is all about love.
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear” 1 John 4:18a
So although I still wonder what the heck I am doing, I know God isn’t confused. He has called me with His love and He will guide me with His love, and I know that when I am afraid He will quiet me with His love.
“The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17
Thank you to everyone who has supported me and prayed for me! This is only the beginning, and I am excited to share my adventure with all of you.
