When i initially started the process of going on the race I was full steam ahead and positive that this is what God wanted me to do. As the weeks went on however I became more unmotivated and unconvinced that this is not what God wanted me to do. I realize now that that is not the case. I came to this conclusion by some not so subtle clues from God. Every time i were to start heavily doubting myself he would have a person in another country come talk to me, or have a person talk to me on my lunch break at work. Just these couple of times were all i needed to be 100% convinced that this is what God wants me to do. If i believed in coincidences there would have been to many for me to not consider that maybe they weren't completely accidental. But since i don't believe in them i can see that God works in great and definitely unexpected ways. Even if you don't want him to.
