Hi everyone! I’m Lauren and this is my first blog! Here is a little about me and how God opened the door for me to join the WORLD RACE!!
Since I graduated college (2006), I have been serving the Lord at Plainfield North HS as a P.E./Health Teacher, Coach and Club Sponsor. I truly enjoy my interactions with co-workers and students and am so thankful for my job. For about a year now I have had a wrestling in my spirit of wanting to go and do more….travel, see the world, experience new cultures and places. Part of this wrestling comes from recognizing where God has me right now – single, free to go and do whatever as I am not tied down with a house, family, etc. I wanted, however, this travel/next step to be purposeful and a service to the Lord so I continued to pray. As I did the Lord laid on my heart the missions trip called World Race through Adventures in Missions.
In order for me to keep my job yet be a part of the World Race, I applied for a one year sabbatical through my school district. When that was granted, I applied to World Race and was accepted! I see this as the Lord answering my prayers for direction and opening the doors He would like me to go through! I’m super pumped for all God has in store for me to learn and experience for His glory!!
That is where I am in my journey towards the Race….trusting Him each step of the way!
