To leave the country for 11 months and go to 11 countries is pretty random and all of a sudden!
I have been watching people on it for 2 years now…since I found out about it basically. Crazy to think I’m actually a World Racer now.
I will going to Asia, Africa, and Europe.
As I watched the many racers on their trips over social media, the pictures inspired me so much. It wasn’t like seeing those commercials on TV. You were seeing daily real life pictures that are happening right now. Every time I saw pictures it kept humbling me over and over again. The smiles in the kids faces of just receiving love…wow.
I am a lover. As I have grown deeper in my walk with God, I have aspired to love like Jesus every day. Jesus’s love is so gentle, warming, sincere, bold, hopeful, inspiring, uplifting, joyful, and just beautiful. I could go on and on about His love, because I have fallen in Love with Him. Whatever I feel He has called me to do, I try my best to remain loyal. Anything I have ever done for Him brought back joy and peace for me. Being a blessing to someone else is even more of a blessing back to you. The unity in loving eachother is incredible. Too much of us have let the fallen world dictate how we treat each other. Love them when they don’t love you, love them when they betray you, love them when they fail….because HE loves you.
ANYWAYS lol,
I’ll be in 3rd world parts of these countries. The villages, and broken places. I will be working daily with ministries doing whatever they need.
This could be:
Teaching a whole class of kids (Yes, I may be a whole teacher with no certification haha probably teaching English or bible stories..)
Labor– like building, planting, painting, cleaning, getting water.
Working with Prostitution– (Mostly in Asia, it’s crazy how horrid this is over there for young girls because they have no other choice, basically forced.)
Entering different countries and being challenged by other religions.
Backpacking lol– A years worth of REAL essentials in one backpack also including my tent, sleeping bag, clothes, and other little necessities.
Hiding amongst 15 children all around me playing with me, probably thinking I am a child as well because I’m 5ft tall and still look 16 haha.
Prayin’, Praisin’, and following whatever HE leads me and my team too..
Although, the main thing I will be doing is trusting in Jesus…I will be walking with Him, and that walk could lead into depths of many things, people, or brokenness. We don’t always go with a solid agenda. We listen to him and follow to where He leads us. His paths are straight while ours are not secure and risky and maybe even misleading.
“For we live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.” 2 Corinthians 5:7
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart….but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” Proverbs 19:21
This won’t be easy and I realize that, the enemy is consistently trying to stop us from spreading the Love of Jesus. The enemy knows that the Love of Jesus can change an entire life from deep deep sorrow, shattered brokenness, a life full of pain….to purpose, happiness, love, joy, complete peace, and a hope so strong everyone can see it.
God has transformed me this year. I asked before 2015 ended that He do whatever He needed to do in me to prepare me for this. To break me away from anything stopping me. To gain more and more of His knowledge, wisdom, love, anything! He did just that. The growth I have had this year so far (Jan-May) has been so quick, so much. At the end of each day…… I know that I only want Him. I am a sinner. I still have my share of sim. I will never be perfect. I accept that. Because I know He knows my heart and He knows my NEED for progression with Him. And that’s it. He isn’t just my GOD. HE IS MY FATHER. MY POPS. MY DADDY. MY FIRST LOVE.
That is why I have to do this. My advice is that if he calls you, answer Him and follow….He loves you…more than anyone. The path may be hard because you may have to let go of things you are so use to. But He does that so YOU CAN SEE TRULY WHO YOU ARE IN THIS WORLD WHO HE MADE YOU TO BE.
