I’ll start off by saying that this blog jumps around a lot, and I pray that it somehow makes sense in the end…it’s a realization of where my thoughts are lately!
“What are you doing?�
I’m asked this all the time.
The truth is, when someone isn’t asking it, I often ask myself it over and over and over again in my own mind. I battle the voices in my own head more than anything else. And it’s driving me INSANE! (I know, I was insane already, but some days I’m more nuts than others!)
It’s been time to re-access and look at the big picture once again in life.
Many times I stop and realize that I left to go on the World Race for a reason…several reasons really. One of them was to find a better fit for my life. To draw closer to God and to step into a greater calling in life.
Since returning last November, I have been looking for a fit for the new me. I’ve searched high and low for things that I can do, and most of the time have found myself doing odd jobs to make enough money to get by, home repair here, home repair there. It’s not my destiny, and it shows. I always feel that I’m fighting something inside of me…like something in me is quenched.
I spent last week helping out with another World Race training camp. For those who don’t know what happens at a training camp for The World Race, let’s just say it is an incredible week for young adults to break free from a lot in their lives and begin to see a glimmer of what God has for them personally, as well as building a community with each other to be prepared to serve alongside each other for God’s Kingdom in the nations. It is an intense week spiritually, emotionally, and physically for everyone involved. I was only planning to spend a few days there as I had some commitments in North Carolina that I had to take care of, but found myself there for the entire time. I didn’t want to leave. I was actually enjoying myself yet again, a trend for my time working with The World Race.
I came to many realizations that week, which I will go into in the days to come here on my blog, but I have come to the point where decisions need to be made. I spiritually, mentally, and physically can’t keep doing what I’m doing and quenching what’s inside. I need to walk out of where I am and into where I want to go.
That being said, I am in a transition. I am coming on staff with The World Race, on their setup and logistics team. I will be mobilizing a generation of young people through coordinating team logistics, traveling internationally to establish contacts and ministry partners, and helping with overall World Race logistics and setup procedures.
Added to this, I continue to have a burden on my heart for southeast Asia, as well as human trafficking around the globe. I am confidant that my role with the World Race will complement my heart’s burden for human trafficking and southeast Asia. I have some opportunities arising in southeast Asia, and will be writing more about that as the story develops and God reveals more and more of the plan to me.
Thanks for your continued belief in me and the support you give me spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and financially! God Bless!
