My Race May Change, But His Will Remains

My Race May Change, But His Will Remains

In July of 2009 I
made the decision to drop the comforts of the life I had known and follow the
call that God had for me.  The only
thing I knew was that I was called to serve in the nations, and the World Race
was going to be the vehicle.  By
October of 2009 God had revealed that He had a different call on my life- That
not only did He want me to serve the locals of each country we entered, but
that He called me to be a team leader of 5 other racers while on this journey.  By the time we launched in January 2010,
I realized that my selfish expectations for what I was about to encounter
needed to be let go. In that moment I committed to follow His call for my life,
regardless of what that might look like. Every other motive inside of me needed
to die.  I quickly learned that
obedience to His call was truly the only thing I could control in
my life.

My last 3 months
of the World Race have been filled with learning, growth, transformation and
freedom. Leading my team is an incredible blessing and has taught me how to love
people in ways I have never known. Just as things had become comfortable – God
now reveals another chapter of His call for my life.

In May our two
Alumni Squad leaders (Tara & Robby) will be ending their time with us and
will be raising up two new leaders that will guide our 60 person squad through
the remaining 8 months of the World Race. 
God has called me to be the female Squad leader to serve along side our
new male leader, Austin Robertson. I am humbled at the thought of serving this
group of people, as they are they are some of the most passionate, capable, and
inspiring people I have ever met.

I am honored to
learn from Tara & Robby this month as we travel with them in Malaysia- as
they are two people who know God’s voice, are obedient, and bring life wherever
they walk. Working with Austin is also and incredible blessing. He is a man of
God who is a joy to follow, who I respect greatly, and will be a great
compliment to my crazy ways! To learn more about this awesome character….go to (http://www.austinrobertson.theworldrace.org)

Austin and I have
now stepped out of leadership with our small teams and set out on a journey to
listen and follow what God has planned for this squad. We will no longer spend
our days in one ministry location; rather we will spend our time traveling to
visit each team at their different ministry locations throughout the
month.  We will personally invest
in the growth of each individual on this squad. We will prayerfully make
decisions on where teams are placed in ministry and what locations they will be
at. We will cast vision and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us.  I couldn’t be more excited to follow
this call on my life and to lead this Squad- God is taking us to amazing places
with Him. 

God continues to
confirm that no matter how much change happens in my life, that His will is
always constant and that He will always give me the option of being obedient to
His call for my life. With honor and excitement I say YES God!
