“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
Hebrews 4:12
This week is the beginning of a very long, but very exciting journey, and I am beyond excited to get to be a part of the World Race community sharing the word of God with those who need it most!
I’m really trying to hit the ground running because I feel God pushing me towards this opportunity, and I can’t go 10 minutes without thinking about all of the amazing ministry God wants me to do.
I know some of my friends who went on the World Race said once they started, they all of a sudden started finding people who knew about the World Race and were super willing to support. It’s been 3 days since I reserved my spot and I’m already seeing that happen! I’ve talked to some people at school and other strangers that I have never talked to before and all of a sudden we have this connection through the World Race! It’s crazy the things God reveals to you in the most opportune moments of your life!
My challenge at this point in time will definitely be fundraising and putting my heart in the right place. I have been studying my bible everyday and becoming more attuned to God’s word in my life, but it’s going to take a lot of work. Luckily, I’ve found communities of people on campus that can help keep me on track and focused on God. I’m hoping that that community can support me up until I leave on this mission, and I’m just praying every day to find the support that I need to be the best version of myself to help glorify God’s kingdom. It’s a long road, but it’s the road God has chosen for me, so no matter how hard it may be, I will walk down it with a joyful heart and a willing spirit.
