“So what are you expecting to happen on the World Race?”
I have been asked this question a few times and after thinking about it and reading many blogs of other racers, I have come to the conclusion that I shouldn’t set expectations for the World Race. Each person’s experience is completely different and what you expect to happen may or may not happen. There are so many different things that I want to happen, but I don’t know that they will.
So since I am a human being and have expectations just like everyone else, I will list a few of the ones that I came up with.
So here you go:
- · I expect to be completely broken in every way and then built back up with God’s help.
- · I expect to see God work in ways that I never thought He could.
- · I expect to be taken completely out of my comfort zone.
- · I expect to see a lot of poverty-stricken towns.
- · I expect to meet many people who will change my life forever.
- I expect to get homesick every once in a while.
As for what else I expect to happen…well honestly, I have been sitting here for the past ten minutes and I can’t think of anymore expectations. All I know is that it is going to be a life changing experience and I can’t wait to see what happens.
It is going to be a challenge because there may not be structure to what goes on each day. Which for me, can be rough because I like knowing what is going to happen next; I like having order in my life. But I think that is how God is going to work in my life. He is going to show me that I don’t need to have control of everything; He is the one orchestrating my life and he has it all in his hands.
Jeremiah 29:11 says it all: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” This verse has been a reassurance and a great reminder that God has everything in control. I can’t wait to see what He has in store for me and my team! It’s going to be great!
