I’ve always been a person of impulse. There usually isn’t much thought that goes into my decisions. When picking a college to attend, I said, “Sure that works.” I never even attended campus tours. Then when it came time to pick a major there wasn’t much thought put into that either. I knew how terrible I am at math and science, but that I loved people. So public relations it was. When the World Race was brought to my attention, I applied that day. Then I started putting thought into my decision days later wondering, “Can I really do this? Eleven months is a long time.”
Then God placed before me these words just four days later: However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24
That moment was when I realized no matter what I said in my phone interview, or whether I wanted to do this or not, there was no option. This is what God has called me to do. I can’t think of any other time that God has spoken to me so bluntly. If you’ve never heard God speak to you, I strongly suggest looking for Him. There’s no greater feeling than the assurance God provides, and the understanding that He is in control.
So here I am ready to listen and experience the Lord in ways I could never imagine. Here I am Lord, send me.
