In past few weeks I have been logging in and out of my blog account to handle to-do’s and the seemingly never-ending logistics for the Race. But today before logging out in a hurry again, I took the time to read some of my blogs from about 8 months ago. In my posts, I was so bold, expectant and excited about this amazing opportunity to draw closer to God and connect with people around the world.
Now with the World Race WEEKS away, I have to admit I am not in that same inspired place. I feel swallowed up by all the things that need to get done. These are all good and necessary things, but right now, I need God to give me a healthy dose of passion for all of the people I get to meet on this trip, the amazing opportunities to share His love and the time I get to connect with Him.
Even in the middle of busy preparations for this trip, I believe God can rekindle that same desire that caused me to sign up for this trip in the 1st place. I know it’s there deep down. But now I want to see what He sees for me as I travel through Asia. I want His priorities to be my priorities, and let go of all the anxiety from everything else leading up to launch.
With this post, I let go of every pre-planned expectation and jump into this experience with both feet. And now—I’m only 23 days until my life takes this wild turn into 11 different countries!
