The World Race? I don’t even know what it is…
About a year ago my sister’s best friend learned that she would be going on this thing called the World Race. I had never heard of it before but was so excited for her and what God had in store for her. A few months into her launching and going out onto the field. I became interested in what it was that she was actually doing. I began to read blogs and learning more about what was it was.
I learned that it was this amazing mission trip where you travel to 11 different counties doing absolutely whatever God has planned for you. It could be anything from building houses, to walking up and down the streets of a remote village just loving the people. I knew that this was something I wanted to do.
I kept being asked what I was planning on doing after graduation and became upset at the fact that my life was not fully planned out to a tee (because our plans always work…). And I started to get a little depressed that I would just continue with my job going 8-5 and just working. Which is great, but I felt like I had more for my life, or at least for a year!
So then I started the application for the race. I began to pour my heart out answering questions I have a hard time talking about. “I don’t know these people, on the other end of this screen, what will they think of me when they find out what is really going on…” That is what I started telling myself. And my fear of rejection is what took over. “If I just don’t open up they can’t reject me, because I would’ve just quit”. That is all that I was telling myself….
Well, do I have absolutely any idea what my year on the world race will look like? — Nope sure don’t
Do I know that I will be stretched to my absolute limit both physically and spiritually.. — ABSOLUTELY
AND I CANNOT WAIT!
I am beyond excited to see what the Lord has in store for me. Yes, it is a little scary not having any idea what my life will look like day to day. Like not even knowing where I will lay my head. But I know that this is exactly where I am supposed to be. No matter what.
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails” — Proverbs 19:21
I love that I finally know where I supposed to be.
