The biggest thing that was holding me back from going on The World Race was my job. I love my job.  I feel so blessed to have a job in this economy that I enjoy and also pays well. For the first time in my life, I feel like God is really testing me. He is asking me to choose. What is more important to me? Is it the money, and stability? Or is it Him? As much as I want a nice car, a house and nice clothes, I believe there is so much more to gain in life. I often get caught up in these earthly tangibles. Everyday I have to step back and look at what's really important. I'm excited to go on this mission. I know God will open my eyes to a whole new world. God has a plan for me. The only thing that I know for sure is that I want Him in my life forever!
