I’ve always been a planner.
I’ve always known what my next steps will be, and that has brought me a lot of comfort.
I would walk away from each season of life knowing the lessons the Lord taught me in that one, and expectant for the lessons that I was going to learn in the next one.
Then the WorldRace happened.
My plan was to go back to Arizona, work for Dutch Bros again, and go to my church’s discipleship school.
As you can see now, that obviously isn’t happening.
When the WorldRace happens your plans change.
As much as you don’t want them to, your plans change. The circumstances around you brake you, and you become passionate about those things. You start to see the things around you with the eyes of the Father, and whether you like it or not it changes the way that you think.
My 11 months of the race changed the way that I looked at my future.
It wasn’t my future to worry about anyways, if I had really given everything over to the Lord.
That’s what brought me here today. Sitting in Gainesville, Georgia patiently awaiting 46 crazy zealous racers to come and join me. I have comfort in this season, because I know the Lord planned this season. He has ordained me for this ministry, and I confident in walking that out.
But my next 9 months are not what I’m worried about.
My point of worry comes when I think about what is after that. I was wired as a human that is passionate about so many things, and so many people in so many different places.
So where will I end up?
Before I have even started this season, this is the question that comes to mind about my next season. Yes, I will trust the Lord. Yes, I will pursue Him wherever he leads. Yes, I will continue to give my best yes no matter what.
But that doesn’t mean that I am not thinking about it. That doesn’t mean that I’m not anxious about the unknown. That doesn’t mean that I am comfortable with the unknown.
That’s what the season after Squad leading is for me. A complete unknown.
I can’t wait for Jesus to walk alongside me and show what that thing is, but for now I just have to continue to trust in who he is and what he’s preparing for me.
I don’t really know what the point of writing this was, other than to let you all in on more of my life and to ask for prayer. Thank you for being those people for me! Thank you for being people that pray and battle for me whether you barely know me, or you know me deeply. You all are so deeply loved and appreciated.
In Him,
Caleb Callaway
Life update: I am at Adventures Headquarters for the next week and a half awaiting the arrival of our 46 racers! It has been a time of connecting with old friends, making new friends, and investing in those that need it!
I am still about $1,000 away from being fully funded! If you are willing and able, please consider donating and partnering with me as I live and love with these racers! I wholly believe in this ministry that the Lord has called me to in this season. By donating you are the answer to that prayer and help me reach that calling!
