Hey Everyone!
I’m sitting here in the library at 5:35AM, haven’t slept, studying for my last college final that I take at 8AM. I got distracted started looking at pictures from college with the friends that I have been soo blessed to have. I started to get really sad. I mean the last 2 and half years I have grown more than ever before. Christ has taught me so much about faith, obedience, learning, humbleness, I could go on and on. My friends and family have helped guide me through so many struggles and given me wisdom on so much. How on earth am I going to get along without them? It is literally bringing tears to my eyes. But then I decided to go checkout some of the other World Race blogs from people who have already gone or are currently on the Race. I figured if I am sad about leaving behind the past, why not check out the future. WOW! The encouragement I got from reading others experience on what we are all about to go through, wether literally or through reading this is going to be one heck of an experienece! I got goose bumps multiple times. God is so much more powerful and awesome than we can grasp unless we go out and DO! He is so faithful and pulls through each and every time we rely on Him. I cant wait to get out there and rely on Him and relay everything that I see and do back to yall. I mean some of the videos I saw were incredible. One had a van crash on it and the van rolled over a guy, he ended up being the least hurt out of all the people in the van.Multiple doctors said it was a miracle he was even alive, but as scary as that is it lead the driver to accept Jesus Christ as his savior, his strength, his relief!! God works in such mysterious ways.
Random other thoughts:
Ive sent out 32ish letters so far with 70ish more Ive got to go, finals came at a really inconvinient time. God has already shown me so much faith, I’ve got to trust in Him for this support thing because I am helpless.
Whenever you have an opportunity to share Christ, DO IT! Think about how happy his presence in your heart makes you, how joyful it is to know we have an advocate before God. Christ gives us a righteous pure freedom over sin. Why would we not want to share that with someone!?
The Word. I realize more and more that we can’t ever read God’s Word enough. Everytime I dive into scripture I come out refreshed and ready to go, yet somehow I still don’t always do it.
Last thing! I guess what brought this on is the bittersweetness that moving on has. I can’t even begin to express how much I have loved each and every encounter I have been able to have. My friends and family, if/when you read this, know that any success I have or will ever have is because of you. You are the best and my favorite part of myself. I will brag about you forever! I will never ever stop thanking our mighty God for this community.
Signing out/wish me luck on my final!!
