I woke up this morning and the first thought that popped into my head was that in 3 more days I will be waking up a tent in the middle of Georgia. OMG! My feelings are all over the place about this adventure, but mostly i’m just really excited! I finally get to meet my squad with which I will be traveling the world with. We have had some contact through Facebook, but I am more excited to meet them in person and start bonding through awkward team building games and sharing our love of puppies and nutella. 

This whole experience so far has already been life changing! I have felt God’s presence more than ever. I know that this is where I am suppose to be. I’ll admit that I do have moments of doubt and fear about giving up a year of my life and everything that I am comfortable with. But when I start questioning and doubting my path, I realize that I become even more lost. // James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.// And that’s exactly how I feel, tossed and lost in the sea of life. I know that this is crazy, but this is my calling and where I am meant to be. I can’t explain it or rationalize it, but this is it. This is who I am and who God called me to be.

This World Race is an amazing opportunity to go out into the world and spread the gospel in every way imaginable while also finding who God is calling you to be. Ever since I got accepted, the support I have received has been amazing. Both financially and prayerfully I have been flooded with love. I never expected this process to start this trip would be easy and boy was I right. I have been working so hard to prepare myself by buying all of my gear and raising money while attempting to stay focused through all of it.

P.S. I am terrible at blogging/writing in general, so I am sorry for my lack of organization and overall everything. 

 

I still need financial and prayer support! I have raised $5,165 out of $16,962.
