This is my first blog post and I am excited for what God has for me on this trip.
So “What am I doing?” That is an understatement! To be honest I have no clue. I am lost! What about my job? Career? Finances? Do I have this much faith in God? Will God show up? There is no apartment for me to return to once I leave. After 11 months now what?
Approximately three or so years ago I found the WorldRace blogs and absolutely fell in love with them. I was moved by the experiences and people whose lives were forever changed. Prayer begin to set in, praying for God to open this door and he has. My journey in the Lord has not been easy as family drama, past friends, my own emotions and finances have taken a toll in a sense.
Most of my adult life has been spent in the Corporate World, moving up the latter as they say. Seeking job satisfaction and financial security being my ultimate life goals. I did not want to experience life without a solid financial ground. There is a fear of poverty deeply rooted inside me that I pray for God to remove. We know that “Perfect Love casts out fear.” The last eight years of my life have been spent at a Fortune 500 Company, reaching a Managers position. A job title many would envy. God has put on my heart to lay aside what I have built, the cares of this world, for his name, glory and kingdom.
In my life I do not want to be the young rich ruler from the bible. (if you are unfamiliar with the story, read Matthew 19:16-22 – can be found easily online). He was willing to obey all Gods commandments, however, he was not willing to store his treasures up in heaven. He coveted his material possessions above following Jesus.
