Hello everyone!
So, instead of taking the traditional route after high school… I have chosen to take a gap year. I am going to 5 countries in 9 months to do mission work. I am still trying to wrap my head around all of this. It doesn’t feel real to me. I had no idea that God wanted to send me on a journey like this. When I first came across the World Race, it described everything I’ve ever wanted to do. I applied to college, but for some reason it didn’t feel right to me. I felt like God was calling me to do something different but I couldn’t really figure it out. When I applied and was accepted to the World Race, it felt right. I felt at peace with it and was like, “okay God, so this is what you want me to do.” The only thing that scares me is the funds. I’m going to be honest, looking at the total costs of this trip scared me. I get so excited to tell people about my trip, but when the costs for this come up I am hesitant to tell people. But I know that if this is what God is calling me to do, He will provide. What may seem impossible to me is never impossible for God. He has no limits, and all I have to do is trust Him and have faith. The verse that has really helped me through this is Psalms 37:4, “Do what the Lord wants, and He will give you your heart’s desire.” I came across this verse after I applied to the World Race. I was still questioning if this is what God wanted me to do. After reading this, it was clearly evident that this is what God wanted for me. I may consider myself unqualified, but God doesn’t call qualified people. He qualifies the called. I am so ready to start this journey, it’s going to be a crazy ride. But I couldn’t be more excited to see what God has planned and to share it with everyone.
