Ever since I found out I would be going on the World Race, it’s basically been all I can think about (which I’m assuming is pretty common). It has been my “big life-changing event” to look forward to for months now, and sometimes I get incredibly impatient and just want July to get here now so I can leave…okay, maybe that’s all the time…
But in having a heart to heart with my bestest of best friends last week, I ended up having an “ah-ha” moment about my anxiousness to go. All of a sudden it just kind of hit me that in this time of waiting for what is certain to be the most incredible, meaningful, whirlwind of a journey I’ve ever been on, that’s all I’ve been doing…waiting. Waiting for funds to come in. Waiting to meet squad/team members. Waiting for training camp. Waiting for launch. Waiting, waiting, waiting. I haven’t been doing. I haven’t been completely idle, but I also haven’t been living up to the potential that God has for me during this waiting period. He doesn’t only want to use me in 11 countries next year, He wants to use me here and now. He’s not sitting back and waiting for me to leave so that He can finally use me as part of His plan…He’s actively working in my life and waiting for me to respond to His plan while I’m still here for the next 8 months.
So for the next 8 months I will start doing. I don’t have to wait until I’m halfway around the world to pursue work for God’s Kingdom.
That time is now.
