Why am I going on the Race?

 

This is a hard blog for me to write.  I feel as if I almost have no specific reason.  I have pondered over what to write for this for days and days.  Yet, today as I was driving home it hit me.

 

The Call.

 

The step to want to do World Race and go on this journey was because Jesus called me to.  I have never felt more drawn to something.  I have never felt more in my element.  That this is something that I am meant to do. 

 

After saying yes I have found many things to be considered perks.  I get to build relationships unlike any that I have had before with my squad and team.  They already are so constant.  I get to live like Jesus did, with only what I have on my back spreading the Word.  I get to travel and delve into culture unknown to me right now.  I get to love people so deeply and express what God has done for me and learn about what he has done for others.  These 9 months is everything I want and more.  There are so many unknowns that are excitable and get me giddy.

 

 

So, I am going on World Race because there was a call, this was my plan that he had for me.  Everything that will happen over the course of those 9 months is going to be God and why he called me.  I am going because I get to say YES to what Jesus has for me, and I cannot think of a better reason.
