Being at training camp a month ago was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life. While The Lord worked on my heart, I discovered I was more obsessed with being in love with my parents and family than I was with God and His kingdom. Being fully in the presence of The Lord, I realized just how enslaved to fear I was. Afraid of everything not the kind of fear that makes you get a little flutter in your tummy, but the fear that cripples you to your core. While I was at home before launch, God was still working on me in the fear area of my life, but still the thought of living in a different country without anything familiar terrified me.
Finally launch weekend arrived and my family found ourselves in Atlanta, overcome with emotions about everything that’s happening… One night in particular, we had a night of worship with both racers and parents. My mom and I constantly bawled our eyes out, and in the midst of the tears, I found myself starting to get scared again and just wanting to fly back home. But then I heard God ask me, “What do you have to be scared about?” To be honest, I couldn’t think of one thing because at the end of the race, I will see my family and friends again. But during this season in my life, I will have the opportunity to grow God’s kingdom and travel the world.
Yes it’s scary, terrifying actually, but I would rather have a ride with God that is some scary and tons exciting then really safe and tons boring.
GOD ISNT BORING YALL.
So I’m leaving my shackles of fear back in America. I am no longer a slave to something that does nothing but destroy my life.
