“Surely not me” I thought to myself.
Have you ever thought that to yourself? Surely our house won’t get robbed. Surely I won’t get in a car accident. Surely God does not want me there. Surely not my family, not me!
I have been there. For me it has always been “surely I won’t get in a car wreck”(Because I’m such an awesome driver). Throughout this past month multiple friends of mine have been in accidents and I started to become fearful. I told myself “no, not me, not now”. BUT sure enough I was wrong (that happens a lot). A few weeks ago I got rear ended. It was not a bad accident at all, thank God, but it made me take a step back. It made me slow down and realize it can happen to me too and I’m not in my own personal bubble.
When I first heard of The World Race it was through social media. I looked with envy in my heart upon the posts and the stories of current racers. I sat back and dreamed of going on this trip. However, at the time I thought to myself, “oh this is only for those awesome lucky people”. And things like “this is something too big for me”.
I doubted God when I thought those things. Months later the idea of The World Race came back to my mind. Except this time it was different. This time I believed I was worthy. I believed that it was not for perfect people, (because those don’t exist) but for broken people like me and you whom God calls to serve. Yes I am broken. And yes God called me to The Race.
My thoughts flipped from The Race being a dream and thinking “surely not me” to a reality where I can clearly see God has a plan for me.
