Ever since I announced that I was going on the World Race I have had a few mixed responses from my peers. Some say I am brave, others are happy for me, and a few think that I am making a mistake and that it will only hold me back. They all ask me “well, whats the point? Why are you really going? Is it cause you just want to travel? Or because you want to feel good about yourself?”.
If you know me you know that I’m not very good at answering questions on the spot especially when the question is meant to hurt me. But let me explain why I am going.
A little while back I asked the Lord to use me in some way, have it be big or small. So when I found out about the worldrace and had an instant feeling of God tugging on my heart to go almost like he was saying “remember when you asked me to use you?”. At first I was like No Way! But if you have ever tried to have an argument with God, you would know that he always wins! So I then said “Ok God! Lead me!”.
~ Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8 ~
I want to be an ambassador for the Lord going to all nations spreading his love and word. [Ambassador: A person who acts as a representative or promoter of a specified activity.] All at the same time planting seeds in peoples hearts everywhere I go, so that soon they will grow and spread across every nation.
~ Faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains. Matthew 17:20 ~
So my answer to them would be, I am doing this to serve the Lord, for he has called me to go out as a representative to share his story. while letting my faith in him grow in me and everywhere I go! For I am not ashamed of what he has to say!
~ For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes. Romans 1:16 ~
