Hello wonderful people 🙂
I just got back from my world race training camp a few days ago and I wanted to tell you a little bit about it.
So at first, I was definitely nervous. I’m a little bit more on the quiet side when it comes to meeting people so I thought it would be a little harder for me to make friends and all, but I was wrong! I found my people, man I love them to death.
As training camp continued throughout the week I started to ask myself why I was doing this. Was it the right decision? Did I make a mistake? Can I even do this? Those were some of the many thoughts racing through my head that had terrified me. I started to pray because I was genuinely scared that I had made a huge mistake. I asked God to give me a sign. To show me that it wasn’t a mistake and that this was where I was supposed to be, and sure enough he did.
It happened during worship. I wasn’t really feeling it that night so I started to pray and listen to everyone praising Jesus and just ask God to at least show me something. And then..wait for it…its wack…one of the singers, Evan, started talking and he said, and I quote ” You know why you are here right? To experience Gods love” It’s crazy because he was just saying something that was on his mind and that ws all i needed to hear. I felt it in my heart and I just broke down. I felt an overwhelming peace and sureness and that this is what I am supposed to do.
So that is why I am doing the World Race. To experience his love. I have never in my life felt more sure about my decision and my future, and it’s the best feeling in the world.
I can’t wait for all of you to be a part of this journey with me.
P.S I still haven’t met my fundraising goal and I can’t do it without your help. Donations would be greatly appreciated, but if that’s not an option for you, a nice prayer would be amazing. Thanks for reading.
