The World Race. Best Life Ever.
I have sat in so many services where the speaker told me that I was great and that God had this awesome plan for my life. I could do great things and really impact the kingdom of heaven. And I believed them. All of them. I knew God had something great for me.
And I think most people have that idea. We grow up thinking that awesomeness drips off us…that we will be and do something great. But then something happens. We go one of two ways. We sacrifice and work hard to be what we dream of or we settle for a normal life. We give up the dream of doing something incredible. And we are okay with it.
Because I work with young kids and students, at 24 they consider me old (silly right?) But the stickshift thing about God is that it doesn’t even matter. No matter how old I get, God always has a plan for me. There is no age or situation limit to greatness.
So signing up to spend 11 months away from everything I know, living out of a backpack and joining with people I don’t know to impact more people I don’t know may seem crazy, but the alternative is to chose the normal route, live a good life..and be okay with it.
A good life may sound tempting, but I want to live life on purpose. I want the BEST LIFE EVER!!
