What am I doing?

So, this is my first blog post! It has taken me a long time to write my first blog. I am not very confident in my writing and I feel like I never have the right words to describe how I am feeling. However, I am sure that after the World Race I will be get better at writing blogs!

So what am I doing with my life? 

Great question.

I just started my last semester at SUNY Cortland! I am super stoked to be finished and so far I enjoy all my classes, key words being so far. I will be graduating from SUNY Cortland in May. After graduation I will be leaving for a eleven month missions trip to eleven different countries. What? I know, it is crazy, but I am a crazy person. But how did I decide on the World Race? That is another great question.

I cannot tell you the exact moment I decided the World Race was for me. Junior year I started to think about what I was going to do after graduation, and every time I did I would just feel a pain in my stomach thinking about my future. What the heck was I going to do with my life? I am a psychology major, and I knew that I didn’t want to continue an education in psychology, or go to grad school for psychology. Looking for jobs scared me, and I haven’t updated my resume in years.

I only knew two things. I love God and I love to travel.

I started to think about how I could put these two things together. I decided a missions trip was a good idea, why not right? So I began to search missions trips on Google, and that is when I came across the World Race website. I looked at videos, read blogs, reviewed the routes and felt compelled. Ever since junior year I had been praying about the World Race. If God wanted to send me, He would show me. Well after many months or prayer it was time to apply. I was nervous. I started to rely on the World Race. It was my plan after graduation and if I didn’t get in, what was I going to do? I had no back up plan, no other ideas, nothing. Thankfully I was accepted! 

Now what?

Now I prepare. 

So what am I doing?

Currently I am sending out my fundraising letters and thinking of fun awesome fundraisers I could do. If you have any ideas I would love to hear from you. I am probably not prepared for this trip at all yet, but that is alright. I don’t think there is any way I could prepare myself for this trip. Only prayer and trust in the Lord could prepare me for this trip. 

Thanks for reading my blog. I hope it wasn’t all over the place, or too boring. If you want to help me in my fundraising process click the support me button!
