To start, I'm really glad you found your way to my site! And I hope that through my words and God's amazingness you will come closer to Him along my journey. The rumors are semi-true: I'm going on a trip around the world! However, it's NOT the amazing race! It's actually BETTER than the amazing race, because not only am I travelling around the world with people that will become family to me, but I'm doing it for JESUS and because of JESUS! Really, what could even be better than that? 😉
It will start in Ireland and end in Malaysia. It will take me to Ukraine and Russia, down to Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique. It will shuttle me over to India and Nepal, through to Cambodia and a to-be-determined country. Sounds awesome right? That's what I thought nearly two years ago when one of my friends embarked on the World Race. I love to travel, and I love Jesus. And for ages I joked about becoming a travelling missionary, then two months ago God was like, "Hey Megan? Let's make your dreams come true." Who would say no to that?!
Well, I almost did. Satan sucks doesn't he? He kept trying to convince me that I would be happier going back to college, having 2.1 kids, white pickett fence, house in suburbia. Man, I was pretty caught up in it too. I could day dream, tell you about what color the family dog was going to be. But one day God asked me what the heck I was doing, and when I could only give Him a crap answer, I realized I had been tricked by the master of lies.
Never again.
Now I'm finally writing MY VERY OWN WORLD RACE BLOG!! After weeks and hours spent reading other people's blogs and adventures and journey's. I'm not really sure if the novelty will wear off 🙂
I'm 20 years old, I turn 21 in March. Currently I reside in Ashmore, Queensland, Australia doing my Discipleship Training School with Youth With a Mission (YWAM). We're actually on outreach phase and will be heading for Cambodia and the Philippines in two weeks from yesterday, which I'm super stoked for! God's given me a heart for "the least of these."
There's a song, it's called "Hosanna" I'm sure anyone who's going on the race has heard it, because the second verse is pretty much (or should be at least) the anthem for all of us. But in the third verse it says "break my heart for what breaks yours" and that's what God's been doing in my heart recently. It's hard! Man, so many things break God's heart, but it's pretty cool to know that He's going to be using me to do some patch work on this planet.
God is good. Yeah. God is good 🙂
