heyya! i am so happy you’re here. you either stumbled upon my blog randomly, or you know me. either way, what’s up! how are ya! if you know me personally, i am here to finally answer the questions many of you have had running through your head. such as: “why the World Race?”, “why is she not going to college?”, “isn’t she going to miss her family and friends so much?”, “what’s she going to be doing for 9 months?”…..
it’s completely normal to have those questions. and i am here to say that the Lord put the World Race on my heart about my freshman year, and it’s just stuck. i often wonder “why me?” but i am also crazy stoked that it IS me He chose to do this miraculous and a little bit crazy thing. i’ll be leaving comfort, the “easy” life, my family, close friends… and more. but i am leaving it for Him. and that is enough. He is enough. i am nervous to say the least, but i am soooo excited. i know God will continue blowing me out of the water with everything He will do in and through me on this journey.
now, the big college question many of you have been curious about…. honestly, i’ve never been a big school gal, and i will probably never be. i’ve always had trouble fitting in, trouble with the social aspect of it, with the constant routine every day, blah blah blah. but, i can tell you with complete confidence that i am in the most perfect place right now. i don’t know at this point in my life if college is gonna be for me or not, but i can tell you that i am going to continue following wherever God leads me. college or not. i’ve felt more called to missions than anything else in my life, and i am at complete peace with that.
so, during the 9 months i will be gone, i will be living in 3 places: South Africa, Ecuador, and Cambodia. as of this moment, i am unsure of what i will be doing during the time i will be in each place. the only thing i am so sure of is God is going to move mountains. in the children in Ecuador, the mom’s in South Africa, me, everyone. and i cannot wait. i will be spreading the most faithful and life-changing love that comes solely from Jesus, but i will also be receiving love like no other. i will pour into others as others will pour into me. this journey is going to be so incredible, and so worth it.
during this time of fundraising and preparation, i ask that you join me in prayer. that is going to be the biggest thing i am needing throughout this entire process and journey. prayer is so powerful.
i’d love to chat more, so if you would also, just drop a comment or feel free to contact me! also, it would mean the world to me if you got to come along this journey with me, and the way you can make that possible is simply “subscribing” to my blog! there should be an option in the left by my picture. thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to read my first blog, and a little about what’s happening in my life.
much love,
Karson!
