Yep. You read that right, I’m quitting.

HAHA sorry for any mini heart attacks. I’m not quitting The World Race, but I am quitting many, many other things. 
The first, most obvious thing I’ll be quitting is social media. For the first 6 weeks, I will not post a single thing on social media or interact with any of the things all of you post on social media. I will be deleting the apps from my phone and fully submerging myself into the communities I am serving and in the people I am serving with. It would be pretty dang hard to do Kingdom work if I’m still trying to stay fully connected with all the things that are going on at home. Also, it would probably make me sad and I’d miss all my people. So, the only way to keep up with me will be to read my blog or send me a message via my blog. Comment your email if you’d like to get a notification every time I write a new one.
And a few other things I plan on quitting…
- Being selfish
- Being scared
- Holding grudges
- Being worldly
- Not standing up for what I believe
- Being overly submissive
- Seeing worth in things instead of people
- Getting caught up in the existing church instead of the lost
- My anxieties…
This time in my life has the chance to be completely life changing. I am being given the greatest opportunity and I would be quite upset with myself if I came back the same person. For the next 11 months, I am going to be surrounded by a community of completely vulnerable people. People who will drop everything and pray for me in a moment of need and in moments when they won’t even know or see if I’m in need. And I am over the moon excited to do the same for them. This year I want to teach myself to fully surrender my whole being to the Father. And to do that, I’m going to have to give up quite a few things that are far less than life giving. I want to be able to give my whole self to the communities I will be serving in and I want to show them just how deeply our Father loves each and every one of them. I also want to be held accountable when my actions don’t show or seem to prove that I am quitting these things that I’ve shared with all of you. This is going to be a very, very hard year and I’m going to need all the help I can get. Whether it be in the form of prayer or sending me a quick message explaining to me how I could better serve the Lord and the communities I am in, I want it. So please, my people, join me in this journey in the best way you see fit to help me grow into my relationship with the Lord.
Love,
Hannah
