Lately, I have been feeling convicted. Convicted in how I am choosing to live my life right now.
I have always been a dreamer. I have always wondered how I can make my life as exciting and as adventurous as possible. My entire life, I have been saying “one day” I’ll go there, “one day” I’ll volunteer here, “one day” I’ll introduce myself to that person, “one day” I’ll speak for that ministry. If you can’t tell, the key words in this are one day.
About three years ago, I discovered The World Race and found myself saying those same words, “one day I will go on The World Race and I will be a missionary.”
Jesus has been convicting me in my decision to use the words “one day”. He clearly and lovingly spoke into my heart this morning and said “Megan, my daughter, why can’t one day be right now?” I know that I can’t just drop everything and fly to another country because I honestly can’t afford that on my own, but God never said we can’t pray over things we hope to do or achieve in order to advance the kingdom. The World Race is a true testament to that. I have been praying over being allowed to go on the race for nearly three years, and now I’m just two short months away from going!! Praise the Lord!
Anywhere can be a missions field, even your own home. There are no limits to where God can reach and who He can impact.
I want to challenge myself and anyone else who feels the tug on their life to make change, to start praying diligently rather than just meekly saying “maybe one day”. I want to own my dreams, and I want to give Jesus room to take the lead and make the impossible possible. Maybe something is not meant to be right now, but it could be in the future so we need to be praying over it right now.
Prayer is a powerful thing. I’ve prayed for a community who understands my goals and passions for sharing Jesus. God has provided that here at home and in my new World Race family. I have faith that He will provide that in every job, situation, and everywhere I go in the world. I have prayed for financial provision when it comes to fundraising and being able to pay for simple things like gas. All of the money I have raised for The World Race is a blessing from God and I am stoked to say that I am only about $1,000 away from being fully funded!!! Praise. The. Lord.
If this is something you would like to partner with me in, reach out! I want to hear how God has been working in your life and the kinds of things you are doing to further the kingdom. I believe we are all world changers big or small!!
