I HATE CHANGE… well, big changes that is. Like, I really do. Once I set my mind to do something, that’s it. There is no changing me. But is that right? Is that selfish in some ways? For the last 36 hours, I came to the realization (and revelation) that the only thing that is REALLY constant in life is God. He never changes.
Recently, there was a need for some missionaries to be a bit flexible and change countries as there are so many missionaries who decided to take the call and serve (which is such a blessing in itself). I became mentally prepared (and super excited) to go to the AMAZING countries presented to me from the beginning of this whole thing.. but a whole new squad needed to be created.. and not many people were moving.
My friend reminded me yesterday that I joined the World Race because I believed God wanted me to GO where I was needed to share His love and the gospel. After our talk and much prayer, I felt the overwhelming need to accept the idea of God using me WHEREVER in the world. So, I changed routes! I am at peace and EXCITED to say the least! Change is inevitable on this race and in life, so I better get used to it! What’s even better about this whole thing is knowing that God never changes… and He is always with me. So, as long as I have Him as a constant, why should anything else matter.. and why should I not embrace change? I just have… and this is just the beginning.
Hebrews 13: 8: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
With my new route, I will be traveling to FOUR continents instead of three!
Without further ado, here is my new World Race Route:
Honduras
Guatemala
El Salvador
Albania
Bulgaria
Malawi
Zambia
Mozambique
Thailand
Cambodia
Malaysia
Please keep my new squad in much needed prayer!
XOXO,
Belle
